I got to sit at the watch desk yesterday and sign out all the folks headed to beaches and hotel pools for eight hours. We all have to do it, but it’s hard to be cheery after that.

How true
And the top secert shit on the fridge
Secret and Top Secret! Dad is gonna have to turn those young officers in.
Barbie’s or the General’s daughter’s orders on the fridge? Kinda hard (STS) to read the top block there.
I want to know what the box says since his girlfriend is of course a ginger who I am sure bites.
Hehe… It says “*The best ginger you can eat!” Then at the bottom “*So to speak.”
You made me find gingers hot Farva you should burn in hell for that
Win!
He loves those gingers!! Speaking of, whatever happened with Dhart?
Someone’s getting their TS clearance pulled, and probably in for some light paperwork.
He outranks him the way a lieutenant outranks his Battalion Command Sergeant Major. On paper maybe, but not in the real world!
Nah, real world too, if someone’s dumb enough to start pulling rank. HOWEVER, as a SMSgt once told me, the most dangerous thing any ‘E’ can do is to follow an LT’s orders exactly.
…or a young captain’s (YC) orders.
YC came to me (slightly more seasoned captain) one day, “Your troops are not following my orders.”
“Let’s go for a walk and see what’s going on.”
Between the time the YC came to me, ratted out my guys, and we got out back out to the flightline, the Es had regrouped. They were now following his orders to the letter. They knew they were causing themselves more work, but they were hopping mad.
I had to send our YC away so I could have a heart to heart with the troops. Then had to go “teach” the captain about leadership. My chief recommended wall-to-wall. I couldn’t disagree, but we kept that recommendation to ourselves.
All I can say as someone that is married to a retired Chief, if our son ever said this, the ICU would have a long term resident.
you know, ginger cookies are good for airsickness…..
can a Chief Article 15 his own Capt son?
Not directly… but O-6s and above tend to listen to their Chiefs…
Also, there are worse ways Chief can get Barbie back… after all, he *is* a MX chief…
As a friend says to his new pilots, ‘remember, we maintainers sign-off on your ejection seat’.
Barbie ain’t goin flyin for looooonnnng time. Maybe even long enough to lose his flight pay. Chief “Dads” have a way of making people “pay” without even getting their hands dirty.
… and soon Capt Dahl will learn just how much rank Chief Dahl really has. This is going to be funny.
Oh, buddy. Don’t mess with the Chiefs’ Mafia!
If there’s one thing I learned in my last job is that if you need something done, you go to a Chief! If he can’t do it, he knows someone who can. They are a force to be reckoned with!
Looking forward to more of this story arc…
That seems to work cross the services ‘een to the bowels of the Goat Locker… ARRRRRGH!
If that were my kid, I’d be like, “You may outrank me, but I gave you life, and I can take it!” >:)
hehehe
hmm Coffman needs to meet dad I think
He’s toast. Idiot.
I love the Capt. Morgan(?) and Jeremiah Weed on the fridge. (google the song “Jeremiah Weed” by dos gringos- good laugh!)
I also like the Jurassic Park (perk?) and HOUSTON TEXANS magnets.
There’s a (ptui!) Steelers magnet up there, too.
Must be Leia’s
Happy Monday?
Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, when will you ever learn…
This is going to be EPIC.
Only 8 hours????? Its 24 for us…
24 hrs sitting on the watch desk? That’s cruel and unusual punishment right there!
Sorry Barbie, a Captain may outrank a Chief. but DAD outranks em all.
Also remember the immortal words of Dr. William Cosby when he reminesces about his own father, “Don’t mess with me, I brought you into this world. I can take you out, then make another one just like you.”
You know, most of the time I tend to relate to the struggles of Barbie, but then I get a strip like this one and remember “Oh yeah! He’s a huge dick! I forgot.”
He can still be “grounded” either way by the chief.
I can see that this is NOT going to end well. Dollars to Donuts, the Chief is going to somehow work a DNIF in there for Barbie. An O might outrank an E, but an 9 always is bigger than a 3.
I see a self-medication incident in Barbie’s future.
Haha, does that say “Get fucking milk!” on the fridge?
Maybe.
You know…I was told by one of the NCO’s back at Sheppard to put the recall roster on the fridge, so when we get recalled, there it is! So I’ve done that for years, and I’ve seen others do the same. So someone sees a pic that I took of my cat sitting on top of my fridge, and you can see a pic of the recall roster on there. She made a BIG stink out of it, saying, “If someone broke into your apt, they can steal it, and your landlord can steal it too”. I was like, “Okay, paper on the fridge vs PS3, Wii, guitar equipment, computers, etc, which are they going to go for?” She reported me to IA and made a big stink about it with them…and they did nothing about it. Talk about paranoia!!!
Seeing the TS stuff on the fridge made me think about that.
Barbie dresses like his Dad…or does Dad dress like Barbie?
Except the Jeremiah Weed should be in the freezer….
