The tanker being what it is, we don't really have a "ready room" per se.

It's not like everyone walks around crying all day, we have as much fun as we can, but it's more "office space" than anything else.

But pretty much everyone is waiting for the day they start allowing "palace chase" and/or VSP again. They stopped it because it absolutely decimated our ranks when it was open if that tells you anything. If you didn't have a package in it was only because you hadn't found a unit yet, for the most part. Of all the line IP's that were elegible here, only 2 didn't VSP. And 1 of those was because they held up his package and he couldn't.

I can't speak to the USMC or Navy, only my little corner. I've heard that the Navy side isn't quite as disfunctional as the AF, but that's just from the very few Navy pilots I've talked with. As usual, the fighter side of the AF may be taken better care of, but it's not all "Moralecon High" out here in AD.
