But there's a much bigger problem boiling in the Air Force. I really don't know how to express it here in written form. The AF isn't focused on the mission ... that is, operations. There are empires being built in every core area of the AF except for Operations. Additionally, in many AFSCs, the AF has become a jobs program, where people come to work, sit on their butt, and do absolutely nothing all day.

Amen.
Gotta love going to the desert and have some Shoe-Clerk Chief yell at an officer because his PT gear came untucked. All the while, they're allowing their young airmen to sit on broken airplanes and watch movies on their IPods instead of fix airplanes. I have a real problem with people who actively try to hinder my efforts to conduct a safe flight.
I wonder what LeMay and Billy Mitchell would think.
