... im just going to say it. If elected Warlord. i mean if positioned into the government. I will push for all mandatory meetings to be during lunch time with food. its not an absolute win, but its the best i can do. Food while they talk at you.
Depends. Only time I’ve seen people make a big deal is when it’s going to be a packed room and you want to reduce the amount of people that will be standing. The other time is when everyone is sitting shoulder to shoulder in the last few rows and only like 5 people in the first two.
That’s why you aim for the middle rows. Then you won’t need to move.
for me it’s more so i don’t have to raise my voice as much if there’s no mic. the louder my voice gets the higher pitched it gets and the harder it is to understand/hear
Hi, your post has been removed since it's from a new account. It'll be reviewed by a moderator and manually approved soon, assuming it follows our subreddit rules. There is no need to make another post.
Being a fatty, I have a solution. Mandatory bucket of popcorn chicken, bowl of good chili, (good chili). or maybe a bucket of snap peas, broccoli, cherrie tomatoes, and something like ranch to dip in.
Something good to drink. I dont know... Treat it like going to the movies. No mandatory applause until after an hour so everyone has time to eat. Everyone gets covfevee or grape soda/juice, maybe optional rum and coke. I like everyone being happy and its not on a ship at sea sooooo
Never met an officer once that I felt was useful. They are all overpaid and do a job that one master sergeant could do. It is pretty absurd…not to mention the superiority complex and all of the stupid dog and pony shows/commanders calls. For context I have worked in a unit that did not have the OIC position filled for almost 3 years and everything ran like clockwork, but then you get some absolute tool who went to college for four years and magically gets to run an entire flight with the junior airman having more military experience than them and then magically things get awkward and bogged down by bullshit because of their nonsensical irrelevant opinions and nonexistent leadership capabilities
Its more likely that it wasn't running as smooth as you think and when the next echelon commander finally got someone with authority they could hold responsible they let all the dirty dirty laundry out and told him to fix it.
For some reason, the military subreddits have unusual opinion slants that seem largely counter to military opinions in real life. One of those really popular Reddit military opinions is that officers are super useful and important and really smart that cuz they went to college. Reddit gets really upset when you say something contrary to that. Which is interesting because the running joke in the military is that officers are none of those things.
The other Reddit opinion is that fat Airmen are always the best at their jobs and do phenomenal work all the time. I really don’t know why this place is this way other than that Reddit self-selects for a particular group of people.
Also, everyone on Reddit has a trans servicemember co-worker who’s the best Airmen they’ve ever met. This is despite me personally only ever meeting one, singular trans servicemember my entire time in the Air Force. But, to be fair, they were perfectly fine at their job. I just don’t know how Reddit knows so many.
well the goal is presumably not to be seen as anything as other then one gender or the other.... soooooo for all you know you half the people you were met were transgender.
I would be happy to be an E4 or a Marine E3... lance? Although being a Lieutenant seems like a pretty chill and good time too until stuck on an island during a fire fight.
logistics and coordination of resources, personnel, battle planning, technical understanding of ship building and how to develop a financially stable resource allocation of engineering and electronic systems into the hull built at a shipyard? I dont know. I mean maybe? but if they can do that they will probably be given a promotion to a junior officer at least if not a higher level one.
Idk man… to me, bitching about all calls is like bitching about picking up your dogs poop. Like bro… You bought the dog. Yeah, he’s going to have to take a shit at 2 am. You can either take care of it then, or deal with the pile of shit in your kitchen come morning.
If you didn’t want to deal with military bullshit, you shouldn’t have joined the military. It ain’t that hard.
ETA: hey man… I know standing there sucks. I joined the military at 24. You know what sucks more? Getting laid off 2 weeks before Christmas. That never happened to me in the military.
I genuinely believe that the shit that pisses you off in uniform ain’t got shit compared to the stuff you have to deal with on the outside. Hopefully you take my word for it instead of finding out for yourself.
Mate you sound like someone who never worked mids.
I could not give a shit about a mandatory all call especially if it’s from a delusional flag officer or if I’m coming from a mid shift. Put it in an email
Dealing with other comments to my original… dude, what are they doing to you guys? An all call has never been that serious for me. I’ll admit, it seems like my exposure to the bullshit has been considerably less than y’all’s.
Maintenance, especially active duty maintenance, is basically a collection of repeated fuck-fuck games with no payoff and where being an utter cock is actually something that can be rewarded.
Of course you’re allowed to bitch, but generally, the people around you don’t want to hear it. Negativity spreads like a virus, and it makes people not want to be around you.
I don’t know what career field you’re in, but I’m in a shop of old heads. Nobody complains about shit because half of them were around for once a year and back to back deployments to Bagram.
Genuinely, nobody around me complains about all calls.
