"Fire a warning shot first"
"Isn't there any kind of training you need for this?......."I asked, the nco while we continued to fill out the paper work.
"Fire a warning shot first"........he said.
Hmmmm...nice...Good advice....., I thought to myself . And with that he handed me my M-16a-2. And what do you know... now i'm a weapons courier. You too can go from mechanic to combat arms in with two minutes, and an m-16a-2. I have shot an m-16 before......we have to quallify every three years. Which in the airforce is little more than learning how to make a bullet come out and which direction the pointy end of the weapon goes. So yeah...holding the weapon this time felt different, becuz this time when i pulled the trigger it would be with the intent to to kill someone. I knew i probably would not have to do that, and i sure as hell hoped i wouldn't....But the thought of that possibility got the wheels turning. It is amazing all the shit you think about when your holding a semi automatic weapon... with real ammo and no range. They handed me the weapon with out a sling or cleaning kit the morning i was leaving. It is a weapon that they pull off the rack, i have never used it before. No sighting it in no function check. I hope i never find out wether it works or not. Im tired...too many long days...too much stupidity. im burning out. Im not complaining it is simply AF works .I have never spent more time doing nothing in my life than lately. It is funny how some bosses think that everything is black and white when something goes wrong and you are involved... but they take no responsibility for morale...when it is low and everybody is getting out of the service because some people are not good in charge....they blame the war or the activation. Yet when 3rd acr was getting ready to deploy again...even though their unit suffered many casualties and deployed for a whole year and endured many many hardships ......there were so many who wanted to be a part of the second deployment that they had to do a mass reeenlistment of 300 soldiers. THAT IS GOOD MANAGEMENT. MY LEADERS need to take a lesson from them....they have a lot to learn about integrity, service before self, excellence in all we do .....pride.......they are overweight lazy people who by regs are not fit to be in the af.... why is it the rules only apply to low ranking people.?
