Dear Dan God Bless you! My nephew”s Blackhawk group is losing pilots and crew at an alarming rate for the reasons that most of us recognize. They just gave him a 60% hike in pay so that he would stay. At a time when we face heightened risk from around the world we are hemorrhaging our best and bravest, but some will still tell us, “it’s just fine” I respectfully disagree!
Thank you for all guys like you and Ray have done to stem the tide, it must be especially disheartening after what you guys have endured. But heck we just gave 55 billion to Africa to launder so it’s all hunky dory…………
Your nephew's group still flies over my house on their way to Site6( ). I usually get a "waggle and a wave".
But my point is that at breakfast on Saturday, I listened to some extremely disturbing news, from both officers, nco's and enlisted, that the morale within the ranks is bad!
Yes MANY are not re-enlisting, officers are leaving after their term and the NCO's are just beside themselves at the crap coming out of the WH and Congress via the Pentagon.
But they endure and follow orders!
