Ahhhhh, c'mon! It's so simple folks. He didn't smoke cigarettes, he played golf, paid his club due's, volunteered to escort politicians, took care of commanders dog, knew when to stay out of the way, and drank single-malt, versus whiskey. All of that will guarantee a top notch performance/efficiency report.

BTW......those that have the art of kissing ass can expect their report's to go into the stellar mode!

My wife reminded me of the Combined Federal Contribution Fund requirement. Roger that! When an NCO/Officer demands that all young airmen (who have a damn hard time making it on what they get paid) donate more than their "fare share" to a group of complete f---ing strangers; then the said EPR/OER will reflect such action. Immediate promotion "ahead of peers" is guaranteed!

The AD Senior Enlisted Advisor and I were attempting to get the General to endorse the FMS welding shop NCOIC's APR. The General declined. I asked him why. He replied the NCO failed to meet 35-10 standards. I asked him to be more specific. He said he had seen the NCO and observed numerous holes in his fatigues. I explained the NCO was a welder and such holes were an occupational hazard. No luck. This nimrod also would not endorse any APR/OER if the poor bastard did not belong to thier respective club. What a sterling leader.

Crewdogs!

I know my info is dated (retired after 26yrs back in 2005) and not meaning to give anybody grief but didn't 35-10 get a new "name" when they re-arranged the regs? Of no real worry - I hear Pink Floyd "Free Four" every day LOL!

I do recall the "rack and stack" buffoonery - I just cast it over my mental shoulder and pressed on. Then, like a BLU-82 in the middle of the night (man I wish I could have airdropped one of those things!) The Sq CC called the SNCO's/section supts in to let us know we'd have to rack and stack the entire section...........monthly updates and such.

Guess I worked up a load of peeved off "smash" - if the baby was ugly then that's just what it is and I'd say so. The Chief told me once I was his "dark horse" Oh well! I walked with my integrity intact!

Yeah......one of my Sqdn CC's advised me that I was a "relic with an attitude." It sure didn't help matters when I started to crack up laughing in his face. Not the most intelligent move on my part, but at that time I had already been passed over for 0-5 twice and knew that "relic with an attitude" may well have been a compliment to my behalf, and to the "old AFSOC" way's of doing things!

Ah. And there lies the my fatal flaw. I do not kiss ass.

"relic with an attitude"

I would have laughed as well. That is a nice compliment. Lets you know you are doing your job.

Or at least in my line of work it is.

Had an old MSgt tell me when I was a youngest, pledge for all the " money give me's" then write "decease" on envelope and return when you get billed. No one will check on it. Squadron get 100%.

Yeah......(sigh!!!!!) And the sqdn. CC who hated my ass wanted to know why a E-4/SRA could not give 20%! When I asked him if he ever looked at the "pay scale" he went off into another spastic fit as to why I could not manage my enlisted force effectively. Okay......roger that again!

E-4/SRA+Wife+Baby(X2)+Trasp.+"bill's"=MORE DEBT! MORE STRESS!

Bottom line--------the creation of a problem. We need to/have to depend on our airmen and NCO's. Hopefully, the command structure will get it right. Placing financial stress is something that can, and well should be done away with. These troop's are adults! Let them take their pay and see fit as to how they "disperse" it!
