Active Duty USAF is about to start its first round of "Force Shaping" this week offering early retirement and voluntary separation for specific year groups and career fields. Not being political here, but the way the AF has handled it so far makes the Obamacare roll out look like a resounding success in comparison! Too much careerism among Commanders and wannabe Commanders along with political correctness demanding that the Personnel Officer be of equal importance to Pilots has led most guys wearing Wings counting down the days until they can get off Active Duty. It sucks because the people you fly with on a daily basis are amazing aviation professionals hacking the mission at all costs.
