aseanag,
If you really want to talk about issues regarding where our O6+ are failing, why don't we discuss this news topic?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...e-nuclear-missiles-to-be-fired-officials-say/
An AF General in charge of nukes fired for conduct. A Navy O6 that took kick backs for govt contracts is not as frightening to me than the guy who holds the key codes for nukes!
Please, if you want to have a true discussion that can benefit all posters heed bruno's words. Remember my AF life started in college in 1984 with Bullet in AFROTC, and spent 21 yrs ADAF, now an AF O1 Mom, and Bullet works at the Pentagon as an AF govt contractor. Nobody bleeds blue more than me!
DIVERT THE THREAD BACK TO THE TOPIC!
Right now, what I am seeing is stones being thrown at glass houses. All that is left is broken glass.
Do I believe Scout was being sarcastic? Heck yes! You should see the stuff him and Bullet (my DH) throw at each other regarding how each other is in the wrong branch! Scout has taken me out to the woodshed, just like you. The irony is not lost on me that you believe I am a part of the posse.
Here is the difference.
1. When he takes me out, I take it private.
~~~ I believe he respects me for being a spouse and a Mom, and understands my perspective is different. I respect him because he lives this life, and I forgot that harsh reality is the AD world..
~ I wanted to run with the big dogs, and I am that basset hound. I have worth in the hunt, but it is not same as he big dogs.
2. If you were at a cocktail party with scout, you two would probably have a great debate, and walk away with a different perspective than you have on this forum.
3. Look at his career field.
~~~~ I believe your DS is going to go to UPT. If you think anything Scout said was bullying, just wait to you hear from him how the IPs tell them they are pieces of crap! It is constant bullying!
That is Scout's life. Their life is bullet points, get to the facts, no coddling, in essence call a spade a spade.
It is up to you now...do you want to continue this path, or discuss why in a week there were at least 3 high ranking officers in the military released due to gambling, bribery and alcohol.
* Before you answer, remember there are lurkers, candidates, cadets and parents on this site getting a true glimpse of the military life. Basically this AF vs Army vs Navy Vs CG is like DC. Harming our country when we can't understand the difference between a sarcastic jab and a frontal attack.
Scout was a jab! How do you feel about the jokes that the AF PT is lifting a mug of beer after a round of golf?
~~~~ Bullet was the one that started the golf jokes on this site... Proud AF O5 F15E WSO!
