Then we have a SNCO that thinks only of herself and could give a **** less if you were dying for a break-nope she's first, you last. I ever saw a guy retire because he couldn't stand being around her.
And that's here at No Hope Pope next to Ft. Fagg.....this place is the place where no one knows what the **** their doing and wants you to bend over and take it in the *** with no lube....

I'm an E-4 in the Air Foce, been in for almost four years now... In the short amount of time I have been in the military, I have learned a lot of little things, but these are the most important things:
1. You can BS the people that you work for, you can sort of BS the people you work with, but you can NEVER BS the people that work for you. They see right through that **** because they see everything you do.
2. If someone who outranks you tells you to do something a certain way, just shut up and do it that way without asking why. Not because they outrank you, or the respect-the-rank speech, but for the simple fact that if you ask why, you will hear the dumbest reason possible, and it will just **** you off even more. Not to mention, if something goes wrong, it's their ***, not yours.
3. What makes a good officer, SNCO, or NCO is the ability to lead and get the mission accomplished in the most efficient way possible. The most efficient way possible isn't making the Airmen, Soldiers, Marines, and Sailors hate you, but to make them want you to succeed, not get kicked in the ***** during an exercise, or use your mouth for a clearing barrell....
4. The Air Force is just one big dog and pony show.
That's pretty much it from what I've noticed...

If you didnt get things you needed done in that time frame tough ****. And IF you get a 96 or 72 you can bet your *** youre working the next weekend the whole way through.

I don't consider myself to be a bad NCO or a great NCO, at work I pretty much treat everyone I work with the same reguardless of rank. I am a SSgt so if a Amn is a good kid and a good worker I leave them alone, but if they suck as a worker and have a shitty atitude then I'll bust his *****, may not make him work harder or faster but he'll think about not re-uping and that's what I care about. I don't need that kind of kid in my shop.
Now if I work with another NCO that out ranks me and he/she is cool and a good "leader" then everythings good but if you got one that isn't then that brings everybody below him/her down I don't stand for that crap either, straight up tell that person that they are doing a shitty job and help them if they need it but if it don't get better then go to the person above them. Again if that person is a POS then I don't need him/her in my shop
I could rant on this for hours espcially if I started drinking hahaha but I'll leave it alone from here

Yes h8s2w8 and frisky, typically the way it works is you come in sat and sun and work 12 and 12, then you're awarded 2 days off. It's a way of boosting morale.
But some don't see it that way....which is fine for someone that didn't do **** all weekend, not fine for the guy that busted his ***.
This of course is at home station, not out in Afghani or Iraq.
Of course I've not heard anything good about Le Jeune or Dyess either.....

I try to go off of the ideal if you take care of your ppl then they take care of you. Then you have some Airmen that just don't catch on and drag the other airmen with them. You have to do something about at that point and sometimes it has to be drastic to turn them around or start that paper trail to kick them out. If you don't have paper work to back up your problem child then they get to sit here and draw a pay check like everyone of thier rank.
