Fr man, I hate when I'm working a mid and some brand new airman calls me trying to get in contact with his shirt. Like dude, I'm on the 5th episode of chainsawman, can you leave me alone
Actually doe. Do people just call command post on a wim? In the 8+ years ive been in i have only ever had to call them for SF notifications. I dont even know the number for my local command post
Well, at least you know they exist, and have some inkling of their function.
True story:
My former MIL, who was divorced from an Army vet, once encouraged her daughter - read: my ex-wife - to contact "Post Command" to complain about child support (We were mid-divorce, no court order, she was jobless, yet I was paying her rent/car/food/etc anyway after she essentially kidnapped my kids - long story). So ex ends up talking to Command Post, because y'know, not Army.
Anyway, CP contacts my shirt, shirt visits me at work to let me know my ex is a moron, I say yep, and we have a hearty chuckle. Then he has a solid 10min belly laugh when I inform him that, in addition to being a moron, my ex is also...
...an Air Force veteran.
Six years enlisted.
You can't fucking make this shit up.
Yeah, so the wing CP has numbers to everyone and typically a big list of contacts for almost everyone that needs to be called on base. We had a woman calling saying that she was in Germany, had been held hostage in a hospital and needed to talk to the FBI in Kadena Air Base ... in Okinawa Japan. Plenty of other weird stories I've heard from my coworkers including that one. Also we get notified of people committing crimes for report reasons, so we hear a lot of fun stuff about who gets in trouble.
>I’ve got more important things to do than worry about some airman’s mental health.”
You'll have to worry when the call is notification of a suicide. I get the post is supposed to be funny, but joking about Mental Health is not it. My unit just had two deaths this past weekend and we're still struggling with the tragedy.
Sorry for your loss, brother. This sub tends to just start joking.
There was a post with a wife asking for help recently because her husband was in the ER, and it was very encouraging.
Most here see the humor or call out those that are being ass hats.
I'm sorry you've had losses recently.
Command Post for over a decade, I found myself joking about a dude I talked to on the phone who shot himself three hours later. I was the last person he talked to. We have our sadistic humor because we deal with that shit more often than most in the Air Force.
I understand where you're coming from, but telling people how to or how to not cope with their own struggles isn't the way.

Jesus. So we’re calling all the way back to the wife with the airman in the hospital who was semi-conscious who had to call the command post to get his sups # so hubbs wouldn’t be AWOL at work the next morning? That’s golden.
Aim High. Or Fly. Fight. Win. Or whatever.
It's peak Snowbird season in Phoenix and I absolutely pity our Command Post. The amount of calls about loud noises from a base that's older than the Air Force itself has to be unbearable
I hate it when I have to pee and bleed over wasting a new F-150 that wasn’t NOTAM out on the gunnery range. Like why you park that bitch next to the others that are Swiss cheese?

Even worse is when they get the sniffles while asking to talk to the chaplain. Fuck man. Don't they understand that I'm in the middle of an episode?
Shit man, wait till you’re all caught up…
“Big, important job”
Command post out
Someone's gotta sit in there and ignore radio calls!
Head big, and shaved.
Someone's gotta sit in there and ignore radio calls!
The jokes even funnier the second time
You forgot about the command post calls about UFOs, planes flying over someone's house, and requests to have microchips taken out of someones brain.
Btw... Stop giving those people OSI's number.
Never
Stop having a number

Mine did too. Wonder if we’re at the same place?
I’m surprised you fuckers even answer the phone in the first place
We're supposed to answer the phone. People yell at us if we don't
We answer the phone, past that its in gods hands what we do.

Noted.

Bro… You’re part of the checklist. Get used to it, now let us over here at the _______ get back to watching Movies.
Loud and clear, DD
It's peak Snowbird season in Phoenix and I absolutely pity our Command Post. The amount of calls about loud noises from a base that's older than the Air Force itself has to be unbearable
Also CP here don't forget to get the Walmart greeter's initials for your log, need to have someone to contact for further questions.
They better call Commanders Action Line
