So we're on the same day? That's interesting....and cool.
So what am I doing? Still working. Tried to ask the CO for the day off today (working in the tower as Supervisor of Flying) due to it being my birthday, and all I get is "well happy [expletive] birthday......now get your ass to the tower, before I find something else for you to do....and how come your paperwork from a [expletive] week ago isn't on my desk yet? Which is it...the older you get, the more of a slacker you become; or the older you get, the dumber you get? By the way, who told you to stand at ease? Get the hell out of my office, Daftarian......and get a haircut before you go to the tower.....the Colonel of the F-16 wing [a former T-Bird commander, mind you] is going to be visiting there, and the last thing he needs to see is some hippie mercenary running the flying ops today........how the hell you plan to get selected for Major is beyond me...........and on that note, have you completed your PME (Professional Military Education training) yet? I don't give a rats ass that it was done in correspondence, it needs to be done in residence. Correspondence is the easy way out.....why is it that you're always trying to find the easy way out of everything? And why the hell are you still standing there........................"[voice drifts off as I leave his office]
Thing is, my hair is perfectly within regs.
And doing PME through correspondence is perfectly legal.......not to mention easy.
Hmmmm.
So here I sit. On my birthday. Watching the weather come and go, as flight sup today.......in much the same way my predecessors such as Gary Lopez used to (he was the flight sup at Riddle PRC that would always yell as us solo students...)
This sucks. JC Vegas won't come soon enough.
I understand completely why Mike Lewis bailed from the AF.
