Thunder, you should have stayed on active duty with that attitude. You would make a great commander and an even better evaluator.
I think I remember hearing about some dude saying something like "Those without sin, throw the first stone..." I can't remember what his name was.
I don't think anyone is acting holier-than-thou. I'm sure Thunder1 would agree that no-one is beyond Buffoonery's grasp, even on days with little to no contributing factors. However, if I ever become the object of an FEB, the last thing I would want to do is make excuses. If I ever sit on the board, that is also probably the last thing I would want to hear.Originally Posted by SoPinesHeel

Things like this can happen to anyone. On one trip to OAIX, the 1/2-on, 1/2-off C-17 incident had just occurred when we arrived. It was on the ramp until the day before our stint was over. While it sucks for anyone, it served as a great reminder to take care that we didn't do something similar.
"Those that have and those that will..." Yeah there's truth to it, but we can't use it as a rationale for leniency or complete forgiveness when doling out consequences. I think it's more about things that can happen to you if you're not careful.
