Letters air Force no decries me-first1 attitude i need to express my opinion of the apathy 1 have witnessed in tic air Force especially in the last two cart. It ii apparent to me that generally smoking we have gotten into the me first attitude. 1 find it extremely frustrating when t Bear senior Noos and offi cer putting themselves before the minion and their people. 1 hear a lot of complaining about How bad life ii in the air Force bul i hear very Tew constructive solutions. It s jut so much Mier to complain. Ii might take some time and Effort to come up with a solution. My All time favorite answer to a difficult situation is you can t change ii it s always been this Way Well those folks Are right if you Don l put in a Little Effort in can f change i Don t believe things can t be changed but in order to make changes you have to you Don t try you Don t succeed i Sec around me supervisor who complain about bad working conditions but balk when liven an Opportunity to improve the work environment for their peo ple. In we Don t take care of our people then we re set up to fail. If the people Aren t Happy in their jobs Hen they won t put in their Best supervisors must set the rumple. If the Tup Cavnor be � me first Altitude arid or a negative Altitude then thai is what the airmen win display. Whether we Tike in or not. We Are die rate models. I be been in the air Force 20 years and have devoted myself to my career. I be seen the air Force Era. Changes have been made bul not when there has been a me first attitude. N my opinion there an two priorities in this Day of budget cuts. Both Are so intertwined that in is hard to really separate them. If you Don t Lake cart of you people then you Aren t going to be Able to do the Job. We need to Slop this me finl Altitude quit being selfish and tee if we can t figure out How to make life in the air Force belter. I also fed that if you can t accept that maybe it it Lime to leave the service. Wended Quality personnel who Are ready to give to Sacri fice to accomplish and to succeed As a team Muter sol Sun j.

Then i d establish some driving Laws such As. All driven would be required logo a certain Speed unless parked and must stay in their designated Lane. There would be parking placet along each aisle never completely blocking any product t there would be cart controllers to direct traffic in congested areas. Anyone parked except at the checkout forbore than 10 mules would be fined. Everyone upon entering the supermarket will be required to show a list of items they wish to Purchase. Those purchasing five More than Hose listed items would be fined note that win inevitably Tave us Money.
