And how long did you shine a seat with your ass in a command post until you couldn't hack it any longer?

Couldn't hack it? I won multiple unit level awards including airman of the year for the wing staff agencies. I wouldn't say I couldn't hack it in anyway. And I still do that job in the reserves.

I joined to get my degree, and did so in only 4 years of active service. From my experience the majority of the lifers were people who "couldn't hack it" in the real world. So they stayed in because their leadership didn't have the balls to give them anything less than a 5 EPR.

But if you really want to defend a piece of **** who will make jokes about people who could have been killed, then continue to do so.

Airman of the year? Is that like a boy scout merit badge?

I'll be honest. I laughed a little when I read that. It may be a prestigious award in the Air Force. I don't know. But I laughed a little anyway.

Airmen of the Year just means you could iron the sh!t out of your uniform better than anyone else. :clapping:

Actually it means I received about 50 credit hours in one year, primarily through cleps and dantes, and received recognition for my efforts during our bases phase ii, and also rewrote the majority of our checklists.

As a former avionics troop the lifers I saw more often then not were crew chiefs. This was mainly because to get a job doing that in the outside world they would need to get FAA certification. I do remember that being offered for free here and there during my eight years and not a lot of them took up that opportunity. The reality is besides going to huge sh!tholes the job is pretty simple. Why do anything else? You can get a decent retirement but then you get to start over when you separate.

I joined just to get my degree then I was a stupid idiot and got married then I wised up and got divorced and finished my degree. Im still contemplating on what to do with my 1 year post 9/11 benefits. I need something easy at UCF.

But back on track

Bust some Skulls in Ferguson!!

In maintenance it was the guy with the best shined boots and ironed uniform..usually the parts supply guy who was there as punishment but kinda of a reward for being a tool.

Thing is if you had the best uniform and boots it meant you did nothing..in maintenance.

Less requirements.

AOY packages are all about writing nice words and big numbers. I wrote a command level one myself and lost count of the quarter and yearly awards packages I wrote.

So in other words, you won the ass kisser of the year award. Good job little man.

BTW, a memorial shouldn't be out in the middle of the road anyway.

I never understood those people. Especially the honor guard people who seemed to join simply so they could march.

Combat V?


I'm not trying to take any thing away from his award. I'm sure like everything else military, it stays on your record and helps with promotions and in return- pay.

An award with valor. Only awarded in a hostile fire zone and can be an individual or unit award.
