Anomaly - I Feel Like a Nonner - Flight Line's Greatest Hits

[curtm220]

Perfect!

[crewdawg2323]

@tattooedfaery nobody cares about your husband at fuel barn... come work at an AMU and see why we hate nonners!

[mitchiBD]

;D My last name is Nonner XD

[inegma29]

YOU FKN MADE MY DAY :) love it love it love it :) I hate comparing jobs in the AF but dam everyone says we have it easy....UNLESS YOU ARE FLIGHTLINE. I argue with so many non flightline AF people and they always say "I don't know what you are talking about, I loved the AF it was awesome, days off, 9-5, holidays off etc...." then they rip me a new one saying i couldn't handle it. Flightline aka The real AIR FORCE ;)

[gbu28]

I am retired MSgt.weapons troop. While at Shady J back in the late 90's, The Under Secretary of Defense for pay came to my AMU. I was a SSgt. at the time, I explained to her that the "Air Force has spent a great deal of money on me to train me to do my job at the highest possible level. I am responsible for 2 other peoples lives when I walk on the LINE. I work on a $52 million a/c. How can you justify paying me the same amount of money as someone handing out basketballs at the gym. Got an LOC!!!

[therealnfreak]

@gbu28 HA! That is by far the best story I have heard. I applaud you sir, and I hope you framed that LOC and hung it in your living room. I would!

[inegma29]

@gbu28 Ya FRAME IT. Badge of Honor for what you said....basicly you spoke for us :) KUDOS....AGAIN FRAM THAT SH*T.

[miterbinnesdirty]

I just PCS'd from Kadena, and I work AMMO, which is kind of a stepchild of the flightline worker, but I know exactly what you are talking about. When you do a TARRPEx in the Kadena MSA followed by a LORE, working days, on a hot ass pad, in the summer (110+ degrees daily) without shade, constantly moving/building munitions AND not having a weekend or holiday to look forward to, then your finance ass can come and talk to me. Nonners just don't understand what the maintenance badge means...

[josh83648]

The funny part about this this. Fuel Shop is the biggest nooner shop there ever was. Always trying to not actually do the work. Always saying it cant be their part that went bad. I had one guy tell me once that his swings shift was coming into work in an hour and they would change the part that took 30 min to change.....

[tattooedfaery]

@josh83648 funny because my husband comes home talking about he works on the FLIGHTLINE and how tired/cold/hot he is, so no he is not your "nonner", frankly none of us are, deal with that fact and if you can't, gtfo of my air force

That paperwork comment is the most ridiculous rebuttal I've read yet. You know who does that paper work? We do. After we finish fixing our aircraft or hit our 12 hours. We fill out our travel vouchers. We, or our support, fill out the paperwork to order our tools. Our supervision fills out the paperwork for our TV's. Some other paperwork you forgot to mention that WE fill out is... 350, green, yellow, red, and 250 tags for our parts. Our 781 sets of forms and our cams (which is the worst progra

[tattooedfaery]

@628Stevo I am well aware of your paperwork, I hear about it at home. So there goes your argument.

[mprhead5]

yea nonners don't work 12 hour days 6 days a week then OH where going TDY for 11 days but your not allowed to leave the base because your working 12s all eleven days then strait back to home base in the middle of the week to keep working through that weekend too because they are flying on Friday then all the jets need reconfigs before Monday. Oh and PT, uh NO! oh and lunch for the meal card people UH NO! sorry we are flying a 12 front and only 11 people so all your classes are canceled too BTW.

[tattooedfaery]

Either way, this video is totally against team building and should be taken down.  We are one Air Force, one team, one fight.

[fadedflage]

@tattooedfaery LOL.

[tattooedfaery]

You want to hear something funny? My husband is fuel cell and guess what? I work longer than he does EACH day, he works from 0630 to 1630 while most days I can go from 0715 to 1815 or about there. I've worked more Saturdays in the past few months than he has all year. Oh and he takes a lunch, I work through mine. Don't sing(not much of a singing voice anyways) about something you don't understand.

[therealnfreak]

@tattooedfaery You know, you're right. I shouldn't sing about something I don't understand. You shouldn't comment about something you don't understand, either. Tell you what, let's trade jobs. You work out on the line in 100+ degree heat, freezing rain and snow, and gusting winds (all normal in Mountain Home), and I'll work in you're little climate controlled office all week. You lift 30-100lb parts above your head, and I'll lift a cold beverage to my mouth from behind a computer.

[tattooedfaery]

Oh I understand, to the point that I accept that maintenance is a hard job physically and my husband has accepted that my job is a hard job mentally. But do I hate on you? No! I will call you my fellow Airman, Wingman even though you act otherwise and against everything that the Air Force has tried to instill in you, created this mockery. Really, I know maintenance is different world, I live with it.

[therealnfreak]

@tattooedfaery I'll put this whole thing into perspective. Every job in the AF is important, and every job has stress attached to it. I am not saying nonners are worthless or dumb or anything like that. The fact is, flightline maintainers put up with way shittier work environments, ops tempos, and manning issues. We work harder than most, and get little or no appreciation for it. I make these songs as a way to vent, and to give my fellow maintainers a laugh. Sometimes that's all we have.

[tattooedfaery]

@therealnfreak You are not unappreciated, I can assure you that right now. I seriously have never heard a single bad word against anyone that has worked on flightline. And trust me, I've felt bad for my husband during the summertime since the AC in his hangar is broken. Going at 0300 in the morning for a plane that has sprung a leak from god knows where sounds like no picnic either. I personally have a softspot for the MXS side of house thanks to him.

[therealnfreak]

@tattooedfaery Oh, and by the way, I work for the AMU, not fuel cell. Big difference.

[tattooedfaery]

@therealnfreak Um who cares, to me you work on a plane and go home stinky, dirty and tired. In reference to your argument, doesn't sound like there is much of a difference That's what maintenance does and it does not matter what component of the aircraft is worked on either. Suck it up, you are a big boy(I hope). Cross train or stop complaining. End of argument.

[GankaholicNerd]

@tattooedfaery Lol fuel cell? They're basically nonners. Shit when we deploy they work tool crib because they hardly have any flightline work.

[cmcbunch]

@tattooedfaery hahaha . My husband works fuel cell. I thought this was about people who worked the FLIGHTLINE. Not a backshop.

[fadedflage]

@tattooedfaery When does fuel cell do work? Are they like phase and work at their own pace?

[BMKT5853]

dont hate cuz i have better scores than you, so i dont have to be on the line and turn wreches

[therealnfreak]

@BMKT5853 I promise you don't have better scores than me, unless you scored 100. (I'll help you with the math, that means I scored a 99, so eat my educated dick) Half the avionics flight probably outscored you also. You have to have a 70 just to be avionics.

Pop Quiz: Where are dumb people gonna do less harm?

A. In an office pushing paperwork, where their job has no direct effect on anybody.

B. Maintaining multi-million dollar aircraft that the aircrew trust their lives in.

[tattooedfaery]

@therealnfreak Tell me where the paperwork has no direct effect on you again? Those tools you work on your plane with wouldn't be there if it weren't for paperwork. That big screen TV in your breakroom wouldn't be there if it weren't for paperwork. You wouldn't get paid for working on those planes or deploying with them if it weren't for what? Those papers (or electronic files) have a direct impact. "We finance the fight" is a mission statement for a reason.

[tattooedfaery]

@therealnfreak To tell you the truth, it can go either way. I have known people that I question their intellect and then my husband has come home with that whole "Guess what this dumbass did" story.

[tattooedfaery]

@BMKT5853 Actually hate to say in this person's defense, that is not always the case. I know a lot of people that washed out of DLI, that were going to become linguists, that ended up with a maintenance job. Plus the ASVAB was a test of common sense, not an IQ test.

[ulyssesm02]

@BMKT5853 Dude, You are way wrong! You think Air force would put dumb people to work on multi-million dollar aircrafts? You think Avionic genuises that know 90% of the most advance aircraft systems in the world are dumb? Engine troops who know a lot about the physical applications and effects of altitude, pressure, and law of motions are dumb? Crew chiefs that turn 60+ sorties in a single day dumb? If so, then you are the dumbest person I know. Just get back to your desk and preten your working

[fadedflage]

@BMKT5853 Hey pal, I made a 98 on the ASVAB and I chose to be a crew chief. We have sharp people out here too.

[halooflies]

My mistake I didn't hear that part of the song. Thought you were making a real question

So that part rocks

[halooflies]

@Axlgrease89 every maintainers gets weekend duty. It's not a punishment.. It's just your turn. It fucking sucks too because you're always coming in. There goes your Saturday and possibly Sunday too.

Anyways.. Great song

[Axlgrease89]

LOL!

Weekend duty? Is that when you get like an Article 15? Too funny.

[crazyasswhiteboy123]

Hater. I believe your jealousy is getting the best of you. Its going to be okay friend. Maybe one day you'll have it your way.
