Politics, if you ask me....I have actually had to deal with this sort of garbage at a lower lever with a MSgt, who thinks he can be a jerk. Funny thing is, he doesn't realize who I have on MY side of the board. I keep quiet about his nonsense, but others are starting to notice his crap and are getting ready to pull the carpet out from under him. I think that some people let rank get to their heads. I won't pull any punches with anyone, what you see is what you get.
I hope that the tables are turning on those that will abuse their rank and positions and that the powers that be start putting more people in place that have some common sense and respect for everyone that works for them.
We have seen a spate of Commanders being relieved in the AF lately. I am certain that some of these folks needed to go. The bosses are sending a very clear message: if you know that your JO's and senior enlisted are not doing their jobs, replace them or be replaced.
Amen!
