It Pays To Be Connected...

And apparently a whiney little bitch...

This update to the USAF Academy Cadet sending an e-mail requesting a ride in a F-15 story as previously seen on Dude, Where's the Beach?

An Update to the Air Force Academy Cadet F-15E Incentive Ride Request


Last month I shared with you an email sent from a Major to an Air Force Academy Cadet. The Cadet was cluelessly asking for an incentive ride from the Major's Fighter Squadron, and the Major sent, what most of us felt, was an appropriate response to such a bone-headed request.

According to Tumbleweed, the only guest blogger on this site and the friend who forwarded me the email, something happened to the Major involved.

"I heard from a fairly reliable source that Maj T***** from the 333rd FS did
indeed get in some hot water for an unprofessional response to Cadet
S***** IV. The Commandant of Cadets at USAFA got wind of this incident
and placed a call to the wing commander out at Seymour-Johnson. The ball
rolled downhill and the major got in trouble. The highlight of this fiasco
is that the cadet is getting his F-15E ride.

Amazing what some whining can do huh? Now here's another question. Just
what kind of ride is the cadet going to be getting? Are they gonna put him
through the wringer? Or will it be a straight and level sleep inducer?"
