Do you even know where Gettysburg is? I mean you are a non-SSC select/two time pass over.

But it requires a hell of a lot of taxi time to get to parking. Time away from the O'Club (yes the AF still has them) and the pool.

Should have gotten a gig with 112th SOSBN.


There's no way someone who never commanded in a Signal Battalion or wasn't in the "right crowd" was going in to 112th.

I interviewed with the 112th Signal BN Commander at CGSC for assignments and he balked at the fact that almost all my company grade time had been as an S6 with the exception being when I commanded in USAREC. I was told I was too senior to command a Signal Company when I was "KD Complete". Oh, and I wasn't airborne either. I went to jump school 1 month into my time at Corps HQ.

The thing you have to understand about the Signal Corps is that they decide their O5+ leadership when they are still O1s. If you aren't picked and "nurtured" by one of the right people you are left to fend for yourself.

Only because they heard some AF pilot tell them they count taxing time toward total hours for the Airlines.

No desire. Unlike the old saying that the person who finishes last in medical school is still called Doctor, graduates of the War College are not guaranteed anything about success. They spend a year of their lives sharping their skills to retire within 5 years. They do get to work on their backswing.

My wife has very low standards. She has been with me over three decades.

Army does too. It is why I made colonel.
