As long as the 25th ID can continue to advertise that Schofield Barracks is a 3rd rate post in a 3rd world country, they’ll get away with it.

BTW, that exact term was used in the Army Times in the mid-late 80s about it. Massive money infusions for infrastructure soon followed.

You know I gave 8 years of my life devoted to the service of our great nation, 2 of which were spent in the blue, and before that 14 years as a AF brat. I honestly believe that the Air Force has the most acronyms than all of the government combined. You lost me on this one.

Been there myself and done that. I had volunteered for a special duty left and right and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t selected after I saw the advert posted again after the close out. Found out I was still listed as in cross-training status from when I tried to cross train 4 years prior. The status had never been closed out, which made me ineligible for everything. Finally got it fixed and ended up with a special duty I thought would be great…but ended in a nightmare. Enjoy the confusion….life isn’t always greener on the other side. Things happen for a reason…know that now as I moved on. Love your work!!

Oh… my… gwarsh, Staff Sergeant. You just SO screwed up! You’ve been in long enough to know not to breech COMSEC/OPSEC as you’ve just done! Because not only have you probably been giving voice to this fatal breech of security, you WROTE IT AND PUT IT ON THE FRIGGIN’ INTERNET!!! What did you do, you ask? You wrote:

“This is, in short, some of the best news we’ve received the entire time we’ve been here, because we freaking love this place.”

If this comment reaches up into the bowels of higher command, you can expect orders to Minot!! We can’t have Airmen being so friggin happy! It could lead to the downfall of the Modern USAF as we know it today!! (If this happens in the Army, the poor, hapless Soldier finds immediate PCS orders for Fort Leonard Wood in his box the VERY NEXT DAY! So all you G.I.s at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii better keep your pie holes shut if you know what’s good for ya!!)

Postscript: I’m so freakin’ jealous of your assignment.

Congrats on your discovery! We managed to extend our 3 years in the UK to 4. They had to basically shut down our organization to get the Americans to leave. Just think, an extra year to sample even more British ales! Enjoy! It will fly by too fast.
