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

[phrogdriver]

The Air Force is essential to our overall national security. However, many mission sets can indeed be done without any USAF support.

Okay?

Blue on blue argument over.

I thought the Navy flew E-6's out of Tinker....

Christ, I hope that's the case. Otherwise what the fuck am I doing in Oklahoma? Pourts comment is pretty much what we always get... You boys in the air force? Is this some kinda AWACS? We like it that way.

The F-22 demo I saw today beat the hell out of the Plopter demo......so they have airshows going for them.

Yeah, but it's usually coming from gen av guys and podunk tower controllers.

Yeah, they're called fuel officers on board a CVN.

I think he was referring to Bubba in his Piper Cherokee. Or bubba the tower controller at (K)Bumblefuck.

Context counts.

.......As an example, the Navy relieved over 5% of its ship captains in 2011.......

Your percentage is a bit off. There were only 9 ship COs relieved in 2011 out of 285 or so ships, the rest were COs of commands other than ships. When you consider that there is a significant amount of regular turnover in commanding ships during the year anyways the percentage drops even further. Finally when you count up all of the commands in Navy I saw it noted there was a little over 1000 total.

Not arguing with your basic premise, still just as valid.

Shouldn't have gotten my numbers from Strategy Page.

ADM Roughhead has stated that there are just over 1200 "commands" in the Navy. He didn't go into details if there were positions that may not rate a at-sea or ashore command pin that are considered "commands"

Random threadjack, but does the Navy have any O-4 or lower commands?

Afloat? I'm about 100% certain I saw an O-3 CO, command pin and all, not very long ago. She had a media write up about it, I'm going to try and dig it up.....

O-4s? Absolutely.

PC class boats are a LT/LCDR command
