The USAF is a rotting fish. Those in who are of any quality count days until they can get out and are just clipping coupons until then. It is not worth the effort to do anything else.

I have to agree. I know of many who are counting the days.

I just saw an 18 year officer walk this year.

Not worth staying in for the 20

Her sister resigned a few years ago.

Her brother will most likely resign at 20 next year

Half a century ago I was joining AFROTC, planning to apply for missile officer, since with my eyesight I didn’t have a chance in h#ll of ever making it as a flight officer. At that time I didn’t know if I wanted to make it a career or not, though the AFROTC decided it for me since there was a drawdown at the end of the Vietnam War, the draft ended, and they didn’t want as many new officers outside of the academy. Today, I would do exactly what the dive in fivers are doing, and for the same reason.

So “dive in one” or less...refuse to wear the high heels at the tranny training or use the three-letter “f” word or wrong pronoun in an email a year into the job.

Something missing in this story. How does USAF Capt. Griffin Jax with 200 parachute jumps fit in with his MLB career?

We’ve deindustrialized and now are demilitarizing. Can’t wait until we definancialize.

The lesson the cadets are learning from the very start is that it's not a "career", regardless of what the brass call it.

There are "consultants" advising government that such indoctrination is needed to bridge the widening gap between the military and society - ignoring that the "society" they refer to is in the minds of the mentally ill and those who profit from their behavior.

The US Military Academy at West Point removed their motto of

“Duty, Honor, Country” so I’d bet many USMA people are doing

the same.

I knew more than one officer who walked before 20, did a few years in Federal employment, and then retired with their top year salary calculating their pension.

With a history degree one would qualify to run the Colorado Department of Transportation

Unless you’re a pilot or other flight crew member, I don’t think it would a lot of fun to be an Air Force officer. I guess a few math wizards might enjoy communications, but most other AF officers are just administrators.

One can have a long and satisfying career in aircraft maintenance but the few officers in my Avionics Maintenance Squadrons (3 I think) wouldn’t have a clue as to how to fix an airplane. Of course they outrank the enlisted maintenance people, but they certainly don’t LEAD them.

The military just saved over a million dollars. They are not sad.
