Well this morning was the suck.
Well this morning was the suck.
We had an inspection outside this morning. It was brick out. Anyone with a hit has to correct it and return at 1400 for re-inspection. If you get a hit on this re-inspection, you will be given a pink slip. LT said that he needs to eliminate 100 people from A-pool. I bought a new pair of black corframs (mine were scratched), but I have a spot on my P/W pants and I don't know how I'm going to get it out on short notice. I am, as scientists say, "shitting bricks".
You and everyone else. They're going to get rid of 25% of us? I crapped myself when he said that...now I don't know WHAT I'm going to do for my re-inspect. Pink slip for a scratched Ensign bar...
The complain about fat people, yet they don't conduct PRTs to get rid of them. Yet they will write you a pink slip for something as stupid as your cover being misaligned. My one buddy had no knocks on his actual uniform, but has to come back because his cover was crooked and she knocked him for that.You and everyone else. They're going to get rid of 25% of us?

Well, I know its our jobs. But when you have an LT who can't find something wrong with you so *name withheld* just says that you have an IP somewhere, that's a bullshit reason to get a pink slip. Seems like everybody had at least an IP infraction. I had knocks on my ribbon and Ensign bars, so I didn't get anything for IPs. I swear, if I get a pink slip this afternoon for having a slightly crooked cover again because I was shivering the cold for 2 hours at attention, I'm going to be so f'ing pissed. Disenroll the PRT failures, I fail to see how an IP can be a concern that would affect your flying capabilities, whereas physical fitness on the other hand.While I dont disagree with all of the things being said, im not going to stress about it. They have already put money into us whether through the academy, rotc scholarships, or ocs. I doubt they will just bail on it. As far as i know there are threats like this thrown around pretty regularly. They are just pissed about the PRT failures. This is the same thing as when we had to start air crew pt a few weeks ago.
We just need to do our jobs, take care of our uniforms, and not be idiots and we will be fine. I mean shit, we are getting paid for it.
i would like to think that...but three IPs on three separate inspections would be enough to do itYou aren't going to get kicked out of aviation for an IP....
As others have said, or as the expression goes, "Just shut up and color".
