Send us a textIn this high-velocity “WTF is happening?” episode of the Ones Ready podcast, Jared pulls no punches breaking down the latest Pentagon finance dumpster fire—because apparently, the Air Force's solution to a budget shortfall is to hit pause on YOUR retirement and nuke the Selective Retention Bonus mid-fiscal year. Classic.We're talking cancelled bonuses, delayed separation orders, SkillBridge chaos, and the mind-blowing revelation that even the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force got blindsided. If you thought Big Blue had a plan, lol, think again.This isn't normal. This isn't routine. And it sure as hell isn't okay. Jared brings receipts, ETP breakdowns, and a warning to every operator banking on a transition plan that just went up in bureaucratic flames.

Dated off and on for 3 years and recently celebrated 25 years of marriage. “We don't get caught up as much in the single day as we do cherishing everyday with one another.” - CMSAF Bass Chief shares that they found their battle rhythm of being in a mil to mil relationship through trial & error. They learned through error that they needed to prioritize time together. “We get eyeball to eyeball and…put away all the devices.” - CMSAF Bass Chief shares about having meaningful conversation with her spouse. They are more meaningful about caring for their relationship today than they've ever been and appreciate individual time. “I just need you to listen and not fix things.” - CMSAF Bass Chief models how to allow your partner to mentally prepare for discussions by stating, “When you have time, I really need to talk to you about something, but it should take about 20 minutes of focused time.” This allows them to come to the conversation prepared, as opposed to demanding to talk whenever only one individual is ready.

Brian and Nick have their second session of intense, wild, and possibly controversial thoughts. Brian reflects on Shirt-ing and explains why he still makes appearances and efforts in the 3F community. He also challenges the "hidden" figures of the 3F2 community to make themselves more visible. The guys also discuss previous podcasts and clarify some ideas from episode 1 with Cory, such as Nick's thoughts on creating a podcast with CMSAF. The hosts further entangle themselves in a dialogue about vaccines, morals, and convictions. The chat takes another drastic turn as connectedness and suicide are addressed and how that fits into the plot with the other things occurring. From there, Nick and Brian debate about #innovation being a dirty word, and how to measure success. A few moments are devoted to the word connectedness. The hosts discussed the question: What does connectedness mean to young Airmen versus the older Airmen of the force? Later on, the dynamic pair discuss certain people in the career field. Who are the movers and shakers making impacts? Finally, the two speak brainstorm ideas about the upcoming conference and upcoming episodes for the podcast.

Chief Master Sergeant (E-9) is the highest enlisted rank in the United States Air Force. The highest enlisted position is the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force. Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Robert D. Gaylor is the 5th person to hold this position. Chief Gaylor was born in Bellevue, Iowa and joined the Air Force in September of 1948. He served in the security forces career field until 1957 when he became a military training instructor at Lackland Air Force Base, a position he held until 1962. After a few years back in security forces, he was selected to be an instructor at the Second Air Force Noncommissioned Officer Academy and taught there until it closed in April 1966. Following a security police tour in Thailand, Chief Gaylor returned to the states to assist with reopening the NCO Academy. In February 1970 he became senior enlisted adviser for Second Air Force and in July 1971 Chief Gaylor transferred to Headquarters United States Air Forces in Europe, where he traveled to USAFE bases teaching management techniques. In June 1972 he established the USAFE Command Management and Leadership Center, an in-residence, 60-hour course of instruction for USAFE NCOs. He continued as noncommissioned officer in charge of the center until his selection as USAFE Senior Enlisted Adviser in August 1973. In September 1974 Chief Gaylor was assigned to the Air Force Military Personnel Center, where he traveled extensively as a management and leadership instructor and then he became chief master sergeant of the Air Force in 1977. After retiring on July 31, 1979 Chief has continued to be involved in the lives of Airmen as well as in the civilian world. Chief taught, coached, and mentored leaders at all levels for USAA, a Fortune 500 company. In 2006, the NCO academy at Lackland Air Force Base was named the Robert D. Gaylor NCO Academy in his honor. In May of 2012, Chief Gaylor presented “A Motto For Life” at TEDxScottAFB where his “Hot Fries” story became an instant legend. Today, Chief Gaylor has taken some time to reflect on his enlistment in the Air Force and shares some encouragement and advice for future Airmen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blueaf/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blueaf/support
In the aftermath of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, what may have begun as peaceful protests against racial injustice quickly turned violent, as riots and looting broke out throughout the city, then rapidly moved across the country. The military was not unaffected by this turmoil, as National Guard troops were called up to keep the peace, military leaders shared their perspectives on race, and the services march down the road of introspection. In this podcast, we discuss the Pentagon's look at racial inequality in the military; on-base protests at Osan and Camp Humphreys in the USFK; the State Department's struggle with diversity; the outgoing CMSAF's hot take on racial injustice and the balanced commentary of the incoming CSAF; and the real numbers we're dealing with related to racially-motivated killings in the U.S. Show notes at https://thedigressionpodcast.com/26 Sound Off!
