| like i stated earlier, most of this is from the new"battlefield airman" crap they are pushing. basically they are finding out no one in the air force knows how to handle themselves with a boomstick, as most of us are office monkeys and mechanics.
air force never really had the "soilder first" mentality, and they are trying to get everyone on the same page. and just handing every new recruit a weapon would just demolish them in no time, as they are just cycled through almost monthly, and the air force is short on armorers to fix all the ones the trainees break. a broken m-16 tends to be a little costly, a thousand broken is a waste of money. |
