Joining the USAF

Enlisted-ops. HA! I'll never forget the reaming that a SMSGT pro-super
gave a A1C who copped an attitude with the SSGT crew chief about the mess
they left on a jet post-flight. He went whined to his AC about it, and that
Captain tried to raise a fuss, instead of doing the right thing. That type
of leadership?

Nope, leadership is always about doing the right thing. Ass reaming is a
particular enlisted thing, and one I never paid much attention to. I figured
they just liked screaming at each other, because they didn't have a developed
vocabulary.

When I flew heavies, the last man off the jet was the mission commander, and
he'd empty the bus if the seat belts weren't in the same position we found them
on pre-flight. God help you if he found any FOD (coke cans, wrappers, etc),
or grease-pen markings left on your equipment. But this wasn't the kind of stuff
that we were paid to do, or excel in.
