Do you think the Air Force runs like a military or a Corporation?

The Air Force is more technology driven than the other branches. IMO, that's why Big Blue looks and acts more like a corporation than it does a military service. Other than a few select AFSC's (ie: TACP, SF, and Fighter/Bomber aircrew) most never see direct combat operations the way Marines and Soldiers do. It's hard to be all 'Hooah' when you're 1000 miles from the battlefront.

I spent my career on the flight line. It was run more like a plantation than a corporation.

When it comes to running more so as a corporation, it seems as if its the AFSC's that are further away from the actual ops tempo. While they all are important jobs, they do not have the direct ties to aircraft or the mission. This being said a lot of the other AFSC's do not seem to know exactly what missions are being executed or what is actually being accomplished. NOT ALL, just some. Those jobs are the ones that IMO are being ran as more of a corporation. When it comes to PT I actually agree with the way PT is ran currently. With the downsizing of the Air Force and the increasing ops tempo, mandatory PT is taking time away from the time necessary to get the job done. While PT is indeed important, the second you signed your enlistment papers you agreed to an understanding that you would be tested and that physical fitness is now a part of your everyday life. I understand people have families and other business outside of work, but you also have to make time. I don't think Big Blue should have to watch over anyone to make sure they can do pushups when we all knew fully what we were signing up for.
