Oh crap, you might regret that post

 

You do, "Mother"

 

Tradition in the AF is you'll have a naming ceremony as a new guy to the squadron. If you were operational, not a newbie out of pilot training, odds are your renaming result would be to keep the old one, especially with a kickass bribe. So it is possible and I've seen it a few times. Henceforth, you'll be referred to as 'callsign' + first letter of last name when people speak of you or if you're both in the room together.

 

The guys a whiner, but I wonder what he did to get such a gay-centric callsign? If he's not really gay, that would not be cool. There are a lot of things you can poke fun at, but with some people that's not one of them.

 

Yeah, if you're gay. I think they just wanted to [mess] with him and it worked. Thick skin......thick skin.

 

You don't have to be gay to get a gay callsign. It's pretty standard that before you've ever stepped in the door the guys have already filled up a white board with possibilities based on 1.) plays on your name 2.) reputation showing up before you do or 3.) there's no gouge on you and no play on your name so we'll make up something like "Fagmeister" until you do something or we make up something better that better suits you.

He showed up to a Fighter Squadron. What did he expect? It may be a politically "sensitive" military, but pilots are still pilots, especially pointy nose guys. We make fun of each other, point out each others flaws, and constanlty ridicule. If you can't take it you'll never be accepted in the club. Above all that however we're professionals about what we do and take it very seriously... that will never change regardless of the political climate. In all reality if you're a good stick, smoke, drink, party and can take a joke no one really cares if you're gay, male, female, etc. Just don't be a turbodooshnozzle like this guy.

It is true however that in this day and age we need a lawyer to kill anyone and sensitivity training for others feelings. It's crap and as much as we try to say it's not, it is taking its toll on the guys morale and motivation.

 

Looks like it's going to get a second look by a higher level IG. I think the CO and XO are goners....No way they should have condoned that kind of behavior....

Fagmeister needs to choke himself and go back to his elementary school classroom. The men are talking.

 

He's going to really enjoy being 'that guy' the rest of his career.

 

Vietnam Ace Duke Cunningham's original CS was Yankee. Somehow he insisted and got it changed to "Duke". How common is that? I think he "changed' it before the Mig splashes.

I had tremendous respect for Randy, until he ran for congress, until he won a seat, until he used his congressional seat for a 2 million+ dollar bribe and tax evasion, et al.
