Dear Boss, I quit! A letter to Air Force leadership....

I can see not wanting first names in an instructional environment, but "sir?" I don't really see what they're getting out of that.
Not sure what your question is, but I agree with your "Suck Less" signature.
deleted. just not worth it....
So Sir...let me get this one right...
If, let's say due to a mass P-3 pilot extinction event...you found yourself at VT-30 as a retread stud...and some LCDR asked you to call him Sir, that wouldn't bother you a bit?
I'm thrilled to be here...hope I can help the ball club. Anyone who knows me would say that. That said, I'm not going to jerk off some IP junior to me who feels a need to "put me in my place", whatever that may be. That's a particular brand of Kool Aid I'm not going to taste. If we really want to go down that road, how about we just say proper military courtesy will be obeyed and they can start calling me Sir?
I regret the community/society/Ready Room culture you live in, I guess. Never been there.
But...have been through the RAG/FRS experience a total of 7 times...and if the price of that ticket to another set of DIFOPS orders was that I had to click my heels and yell "Zu befell, mein flieger-kommodore!" at the end of a briefing, I think I might have done that. It was better than any alternative my non-flying peers were headed to. Guess that's all I'm saying. Be happy.
I didn't mean to come across as a douchebag...now don't you either.
Sir has no place in flight or in brief/de-brief. There's no reason to boost the halo effect, no one is immune to fucking up. Once that is over, we're back in the military. That said, I have no problem with the enlisted guys calling me Maj (Insert Callsign). They're acknowledging my rank and it lets them enjoy a little bit of the camaraderie associated with our flying culture. I want them to feel like they're part of the club, because they are.
I'm using this at the next AOM.
Calling someone who is the same rank as you "sir" is nonsense. However, please don't try to compare flight hours from a different community as a dick measuring contest. It sounds like an absurd situation already.
Honestly not chest thumping, although I can see how that came across...just pointing out that I didn't fall off the turnip truck...or go to post-grad school etc...
Unless you're at Air Force flight training! Then wings are a permission slip to be a raging douche nozzle.
