Hey!! No glass half-full guys allowed on APC!!

I seem to remember providing documents like this, shot records, and a host of other crap to the US Air Force. I've had to provide the stupid marriage certificate for a few other events--some major and some minor--along the way.

Yes--it is a pain in the ass but I don't think its a conspiracy. It is, however a bureaucracy, and that means we get to go through hoops at times. It might knock of few Brazilians off the insurance doles, but for most of us this should be a non-event.

Just did this for my wife's job, took 2 minutes. No conspiracy or witch hunt but I was wearing a hoody when I mailed the envelope.

As long as it doesn't affect you personally, no biggie.





I have a Marriage License that's 27 years old. Do I also need to prove that no divorce decree or death certificate exists? It's the same Marriage License I used to prove eligibility the first time -- why do I need to do it again? What can it possibly prove? It doesn't prove that I'm still married, only that I was married 27 years ago. What can it possibly accomplish? How do I prove that something (the divorce decree or death certificate) does not exist?

I have 7 birth certificates for kids. They're the same birth certificates I used to prove eligibility the first time. The dates of the births start a 26-year clock. Do they think I can produce different birth certificates with different dates which will establish different 26-year clocks? Do I need to also prove that none of them have died by proving that death certificates don't exist, or do I need to produce them in person along with DNA tests to prove they're my real kids and not actors I've hired?

Where does the ridiculousness end?


Oh, wait, it doesn't affect me because I'm foreign based.


That makes so much sense.

Did you say witch or *itch.

Really? The sky is falling because the company wants to see some documentation? How about this, don't provide it and take them to court...

This really is no big deal. A small hassle, but you have spent more time whining than it would take to produce the paper.

What are they going to expect now? That I have to actually have a pilots license or a current medical? What's the world coming to? I suggest we fire the MEC due to their inaction on this situation! Blasphemy!!

I take it you haven't done a CMV/CLOE lately. Proficiency Check Airmen are being required to act like flight managers to routinely question everyone's integrity. You are now required to log in to VIPS and show the PCA the page where you've entered your most current medical information to see if it matches the information on your medical certificate. NOBODY is trusted to have told the truth. We are all untrustworthy.


Better double-check the spelling of the Doc's name!




And, yeah. I complained. And you complained about me complaining. Are we married?

You know what they say, someone craps their pants and gets busted by the Feds for lying about the medical they plan to do tomorrow....and we all wear diapers

As to the dependent verification, there you go making sense. Thought you were smart enough to know that logic is of no use when dealing with the shoe clerks

Sometimes these things get started when a Big Chief asks an idle question like "How do we know that....?", and then underlings make a mountain out of a molehill. The initiative quickly morphs into a "compliance check", and the fact that it was ordered becomes more important than the unknown reason why it was ordered.
