For one, the military is no longer professionally run...the shoe clerks (like the bean counters here) have taken over and turned it into a nightmare. Training, agreed...AF pilot training is certainly manned by people who care and work hard. Nearly flawless MX...umm, yeah...not quite. If it were left up to the crew chiefs to get the job done, then maybe...again, idiotic shoe clerk managers spoiling the show. The AF, like Allegiant to many of you, was the place to be but now is removing all that was once good, for the sake of a few people who wouldn't win a trophy if everyone didn't get one.
