it appears they have some pretty legit deice equipment for such a disenfranchised nation. Wish I had a roof over my head when I was in the bucket *firstworldtypeIVsobs*

I guess what I find sad is that we now essentially have no styling. Anything like that now would be deemed too aggressive and therefore offensive.

Better than any I've ever seen at any U.S. Air Force Base for sure.
That's leadership!
If that ain't bullet proof, nothing is.Oh and General Olds, approves.

Not allowed to in the USAF anymore. Not like it used to be.
Same as when squadron bars were changed to "heritage rooms"; as if the USAF gives two shats about heritage.....even their own.
Not so much acquisition as spending money, the way they're going I think they actually consider getting less product for more money to be a plus.I have this secret theory: the mission of the Air Force is not air power. It's really large scale aerospace acquisition.

I try to tell people to think of the US Air Fore as a "non profit" technology company. A company that also happens to have aerial combat capabilities, and an EXTREMELY inefficient UPS/Fed Ex on the side. Those two things of course being more or less incidental and not the main focus, but they can make it's employees go work in some very F'd up places, even while not having enough staff to cover such.
I will grant that any organization or company on earth more or less has to be a technology company moving forward.
Well to be fair the UPS side could be more efficient if planes stopped "breaking" every time they flew into a base with a nice beach.

So what are they going to do when it hits the fan, and the only thing close enough is covered in snow/ice? Throw their arms up and say 'eff it?

You know I had a 17 guy explain to me why C17/5s are always broke at Rammstein and Rota.
Basically the MEL for combat is way short of the MEL for everywhere else, so they constantly leave knowing they are only getting to the first fuel stop. Conversely some of the units have intentionally sent aircraft that were near broken into theatre because they can get the parts easier and faster to fix it there.

It has nothing to do with Guard guys getting two months tax free for two-day trips bridging the 31st to the 1st of the month...
Well that's everybody not just guard guys.
Ever SOB from every command that came and visited my team in the Philippines always wanted to "check out our Operations down south" which just happened to coincide with the place that gets everybody tax free exemption for the month.
The theatre air lift guys always made sure they flew into Zambo at least once a month with a whole lot of dudes in the back with apparently an important job of continuously monitoring the condition of the seat back I front of them.
