Supervision

There is a certain point in your Air Force career that you begin supervising other Airmen. When that happens, you are responsible not only for yourself, but you are responsible for your troops as well. You are responsible for their mental well being as well as their work performance.

There are the good times as well as the heavy times. Last night one of my guys called to tell me that one girl he had been hanging out with called to tell him that she was pregnant. I've been here in the Northeast too long, the first thought I had was that the kid may not be his, and the girl was looking for a free ride. Was I wrong? The economy right now is crappy, and if the baby's real daddy doesn't have a job..... Is this too far fetched?

Face Book Entries

I just realized that most of us who use Face Book will refer to ourselves in the third person when we post. How ironic is it that we find people who do that in conversation to be totally annoying or totally creepy? Although for all of you theater folks, what if we all put colons at the beginning of our posts and turned it all into dialouge, would that be better? Then would everyone think we were crazy since sometimes when you post, no one responds and it would look like we were talking to ourselves. I find it amazing how technology allows things we normally find unacceptable behavior to be acceptable in certain cercumstances.
