FY-17 AMCSB

[Farva01]

The ones that are going to have it be hardest are the Skippers in CVW-8. They are going to have to keep their JO's from mutiny in the open while maintaining loyalty to their Commander and not dismissing his decisions based on the situation. They are the unfortunate middlemen (or women).

Why will those JOs want to mutiny? As a fleet JO, I had no Earthly idea what the board process was for my CAG, nor did I particularly care. All I cared about was CAGs personality and leadership style inasmuch as I was affected by it.

I guess if I'd heard it was post-board cronyism I might have felt a little righteous anger toward to the process, but I wouldn't have been surprised...

I'd agree with 7helmet on this one. While I don't think the JOs are really concerning themselves with what happens at the O-6 level, I know it's affecting the O-4 and O-5s watching.

Mutiny was probably a strong word. Your last paragraph is more appropriate. Anger, righteous or not, does not lend itself to a smoothly running team.

The CO FITREP debriefs could be rather interesting/entertaining...

Meh. It depends on the source and the magnitude of the anger. We're JOs. We always have something to feel righteous about. CAGs selection process ain't real high on the list, unless CAG turns out to be an asshole.
