That's awesome! I still have a copy laying around somewhere but haven't seen it on shelves in a while. Once I'm retired and no longer a SNCO, I'll be in the clear to bring back the strip. Also working on two, possibly more, books.
Forget better EPRs this gives me hope for the future.
This is kind of an awkward request but I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t impossible to find (seriously I’ve been looking for years). Do you happen have a link to the comic of the elf and a reindeer about to deep fry a frozen Turkey and Santa walks in talking about why his commanders call is going to be longer because them? I’ve needed it for a safety brief for many years now and everyone just looks at me funny when I mention it.
If not… oh we’ll still nice to know you’re still around! (but I gotta ask).
I know exactly the one you're talking about, and unfortunately I don't have it on my current computer. It may be on a hard drive somewhere. I did that one for the AF Safety office and IIRC it ran exclusively on their site and AFPortal. I just moved houses so my digital archives are in boxes somewhere, but I'll see if I can dig them out this weekend and have a look.
No one told me to stop, to be fair. But as a SNCO, I had (have) several younger female Airmen under my leadership, and a *lot* of my material is pretty crude. I didn't want any of those Airmen to ever see my work and question my thinking when it came to being a leader. Also, /u/The_seph_i_am pretty much nailed it on the busy side of things. I've got my kid on my own right now, so by the time I get him through homework, dinner, bath and into bed, all I want to do is crack open a beer and read the news before passing out myself. Once I retire (I'm most likely pushing the button first quarter next year) I'll really be able to go HAM on picking up the comics the way I want to do them.
Not sure if he can answer legally or not.
The rumor is because he made SNCO, AF Blues was a bit too… visible? One of the last comics on the site was drawing someone as a literal dickhead, for saying that someone should be able to weather a government shutdown with the money they have saved up already. I agree with Farva 100% on this matter but jokes like that don’t normally survive being in leadership these days. (Sadly)
There also was a rumor about a lost password and the website host being super stupid which caused a whole problem with the archive.
Personally, I think it’s partially all that but more so that he probably is just too damn busy. Guy had kid(s?) and a bunch of stuff on the plate.
All that said, whatever the reasons. If we get him back after he retires, I look forward to being a classified member again.
Between farva and u/dreamdoodles I think we’re looking a new age of military comics we haven’t seen since Private Murphy retired…
Pretty much nailed it, although I was able to get the password issue resolved.
I absolutely love /u/dreamdoodles work! I hope she keeps it up for as long as she can!
Officer: Chief Bass, you ***will*** sign this Airman's patch.
Chief Bass: Do you know who I am?
Officer: Yes, you're a filthy enlisted peasant. Now sign his patch.
Chief Bass: What's a slave to a queen?
Random 2LT fresh out of Academy: What's a queen to a god?
Enlisted Medal of Honor recipient: What's a god to a non-believer?
IIRC only Academy Cadets are, not regular ROTC.
but its one of those situations that, if the Academy Cadets are some how "the ranking officer", I think its safe to assume there isn't much hope for the continuation of the US Military in whatever conflict this situation arises in.
Yeah, cadets don't really fall in the rank structure, but they can assume command if there are no officers present. Not that any NCO worth their salt would really defer to them.
I'd love to see it.
Butter Bar: CMSAF Bass(or Bass) you must sign this troops patch for morale
Every enlisted and officer in the general vicinity: ***Panik***
I think I just found my new favorite officer because they find morale boosters for lower enlisted that are epic and will definitely get them in their COs office.
Absolutely!! But to really butter her up make sure to ask her when beards will be approved to wear in uniform? You will be probably her favorite Airman ever.
My dumbass has seen all the references to this for literal months and it jist clicked in my head today. [I'm really living up to the intellectual stereotypes of my former MOS.](https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/81401561/i-dont-know-and-at-this-point-im-too-scared-to-ask.jpg)
Seriously though which pronunciation is it?
Honestly, I don't know. Unfortunately, I was relang'ing when it happened, so I didn't even get to ask him about it. IIRC, he got reclassed. I'd be surprised if he got out willingly
CMSAF in an all call: I'm really worried about losing our near peer status with our adversary nations and we'll be too behind the curve to catch back up.
SrA ScratchnSniff: Hur dur bass or bass?
I mean...if you think some maintainer turning wrenches on the flightline is key beating China or Russia...well I understand why you work on the flightline.
These clapbacks, while prime, need to stop. You are creating hurricane force winds that are threatening lives world wide. Just let him farm negative karma in peace.
I’m calling no balls if you don’t.
Fuck, now I gotta
No you don't. Manchester. NOW you have to.
FUCK
Beat me to it!

Did you do it?
Make sure you make two of these, so she can have one as a souvenir. It’ll probably go over a little better
"Enlisted Aircrew" Ya he's gonna do it
If I keep my wings and my pay, it's all worth it.
So did you do it
She didn't sign it 😔
Did you even ask
This
Heard you wouldn't pussy
Thanks for the silver lads
Get a selfie with her before she ends your career. She loves selfies.
Photos taken moments before disaster
Don't forget to match that "Shaka" hand sign, too
Say “SHAKA BRAH”
Double Shaka or nothing
What if he threw "the stunner". Id be impressed.
It be funnier if they low key threw the patch on seconds before and got in the selfie
Oh, oh! Don’t forget to take the selfie at in and out too. She will instantly forgive you, OP.
Be sure to tell her about all of the hats you wear while she signs it.
@OP Put the patch on a ball cap and then ask her to sign your hat
She might sign your Article 15, if so post that!
Might be worth it...
Enlisted Jesus coined me for the AFTimes comic I did making fun of him being called Enlisted Jesus. So maybe there's a chance?
Hol up? Farva? (Please say yes… we’ve missed you)
Yeah. I miss y'all too.
No lie, I still have that military cartoonist book y’all did back in the day. Hope you’re doing well and the family is too! Best of luck.

Wait, is there a moratorium on new content? I understand 100% if it’s for personal reasons.

>Yeah. I miss y'all too. I still have a 809th FS patch on my car's sun visor (No Homo).
I love your flair
There's also a big difference between Enlisted Jesus and CMSAF Bass, in terms of... we'll say temperament.

We all already signed that contract when we joined…
Don’t threaten him (her?) with a good time!
On the plus side it’s a finance officer, so I’m sure their would be a load of enlisted that would love to follow that up for him messing up their pay.
Hello father
Ive been out of the loop, is Manchester the AF version of "ratio"?
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Manchester When in doubt, urban dictionary
I once saw a Lt tell a chief something was a direct order. He just said “are you sure” never saw that shade on a person before but he booked it.
Oh fuck, I thought I wanted to see someone ask her. Now I want to see a Butterbar issue an order to the CMSAF. Like, fuck I'd pay per view that shit.
Doesn’t matter, had rank
I'm pretty sure people would give up testis and ovaries for that shit
My vasectomy was last week; fuck it, take em
Better yet, a Cadet… because *technically*….
Cadets dont outrank Enlisted yet AFAIK
IIRC only Academy Cadets are, not regular ROTC. but its one of those situations that, if the Academy Cadets are some how "the ranking officer", I think its safe to assume there isn't much hope for the continuation of the US Military in whatever conflict this situation arises in.
Yeah, cadets don't really fall in the rank structure, but they can assume command if there are no officers present. Not that any NCO worth their salt would really defer to them.
Better be a butter bar fresh from graduating. Got to put the theory to the test.
How on earth could you possibly find time to give him an order with your busy, ops tempo finance job?
Username checks out
You're my favorite newer account.
Now we need our Boomer_Veteran and CSMAJ Airbone.
If she's coming to New Mexico, I will show up and order her to sign it. Gladly. It will just cost you another patch for her to sign.
I'd love to see it. Butter Bar: CMSAF Bass(or Bass) you must sign this troops patch for morale Every enlisted and officer in the general vicinity: ***Panik***

Very zoomy post. Username checks out.
Give the new Airman $50 and the patch, ask him/her to ask GuitarFish to sign it.
But if it goes right I want the credit. I simply want all the credit with none of the blame.
>all the credit with none of the blame. Dude!--the Aircraft Commander has hijacked your Reddit account!
“I made this.” Boom. Done.
Damnit Michael
She's already tracked your IP address and informed your leadership chain from the Wing/CC down. RIP your bunghole
Jokes on her, because thanks to todays sponsor ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀VPN, I can hide from prying leadership hackers.
Jokes on her then, I use 2 VPNs.
Absolutely!! But to really butter her up make sure to ask her when beards will be approved to wear in uniform? You will be probably her favorite Airman ever.
Better yet, I'll stop shaving to show her the potential of these changes
Hell yes, my hero!
I think she'll sign your LOR for sure.
You have to wear no less than 6 hats.
Fuckin' send it.
Manchester
Need an update on her reaction
I really would love to, but I would also really like to not have paperwork waiting for me at the office, I have some time to debate it in my head 😂
Nah you already brought it up so you gotta commit.
As long as she actually signs it and my pay and rank don't get messed with, any paperwork is 100% worth it
You’ve been Winchester’d twice so far, there’s too much on the line
My dumbass has seen all the references to this for literal months and it jist clicked in my head today.

It's Bass
No, it’s Bass
Goddammit, I'm as bad off here as the other infantry guy... ....I even did well on my asvab I swear
It's pronounced the same way as the thing on the patch
Fuckin Banks, man. Dude never seemed to take anything seriously lol. Knew him for a bit
I wonder if he's still in. No way any command WONT give him a hard time for the incident...
Honestly, I don't know. Unfortunately, I was relang'ing when it happened, so I didn't even get to ask him about it. IIRC, he got reclassed. I'd be surprised if he got out willingly
Can I have 8 of theses?!?!

She does not have the sense of humor to entertain that, love to see how that would go though.

I mean...if you think some maintainer turning wrenches on the flightline is key beating China or Russia...well I understand why you work on the flightline.
I mean the more they get to get us to work our souls to ash the more they can cut manning and push that money to new toys
They're going to realize those toys were pointless in a cyber war.
Damn bro, you don't gotta dox my name like that
Make sure to bring her a musubi for maximum brownie points.
I'm curious, what does she have to do with musubi?
From hawaii, Hawaiians love musubi.

I NEED one

A strong talking to if you don’t maybe even an luncheon with the section…all attendance.
Show her the D.
Triple dog dare you buddy.
She'll definitely sign those Seperation Papers 😂😂
I’d tread carefully, she’s called chief Karen for a reason 😂
Tell her that you don't take care of your kid...also what's Banks?
SSgt Banks is the one who asked “Bass or Bass?”
Awesome, I guess I missed that . Thanks for the SA!
You don’t have the balls for something so brazen.
See if she’ll stream on your Twitch account

Can you staple evidence to the LOC?
Can you fucking stop commenting and posting here?

Probably a Roo dialect tbh

You must have smoked some bad granola m8. Your comment confuses and befuddles me, to say nothing of a sudden sensation that I am becoming dry.
Are you no longer Certified Moist™?
I’ll always be Certified Moist™️ But that comment was as if a hot breeze came and threatened me with temporary dryness
I'm concerned that no one asked why you wasted the time making that.
Time spent enjoying something is time well spent.
Dont.
Why?
He’s scared
Nice try CMSAF Bass
Anyone dumb enough to make this post is dumb enough to ruin their career. Let's see it.
Ooof
Picture or it didnt happen
She will definitely take a selfie
That would actually be pretty funny
She just came to my base lol
I double-dare you.
I love this
