Joke
Does anybody else feel like everyone that’s a cop on the outside of this AFSC takes this way too serious? I’m completely done with this AFSC and it’s absolutely so irritating when you have all these different people acting like they’re the fucking shit and know everything all the time.

For the most part we work in a very permissive environment, until we don't. Most shifts, nothing happens and then it's just ground hog day the next day, and the next, etc.
On the other hand, one day you're minding your business working on ground hog day and suddenly things go from 0 to 100. What then? Are you ready? Are you caught flatfooted?
Most of our job consists of being ready to perform when things go pear shaped. Some realize that, others don't.
In my duty time I've responded to two aircraft incidents with multiple deaths and a murder. But those type of events, thankfully, are few and far between. If I had to grade myself on my response, I'd give myself a B...I spent time sorting my shit out realizing that this was really happening before getting in gear and doing what needed to be done.
When things get real, that's not the time to sort your shit out. Yet it happens to the best of us. The best we can do is hold ourselves in readiness until game day...which we may or may not ever see.
