Balfours Puns

Tldr: The Balfour Beatty Communities Problem proves that there is a lack of accountability in our leadership. Are we supposed to just embrace the suck and not question how our Air Force is being led down this terrible path?

I will try my best to rant as little as possible. I am trying to have honest discourse of how we and I can fix this.

For years hundreds probably even thousands of complaints of bad living conditions, with seemingly zero effort to fix these conditions has been channeled through our chain of command and appropriate base housing leadership. How can I look to the new Airmen and tell them honestly that the Air Force and their leadership will always look out for them?

I love my job, and I love my current CoC, because when I needed them they have always taken their time to make sure that I, as THEIR Airman was taken care of. BUT, the CoC doesn’t stop at my squadron. It doesn’t stop at the base level or even wing level. My leadership holds me accountable, I will hold the Airmen that fall below me accountable the same way. But who will hold those above us accountable?

This housing issue that has recently been exposed has been going on since AT LEAST 2013. I just finished watching Angry Cops’s video on it and it has resparked my anger for the Air Force’s, and all of the military’s lack of accountability. Though this is only one huge exposure of it, lack of accountability and lack of simply looking out for our Airmen in our leadership is a problem I just can’t let pass. I have seen this weakness in leadership one too many times.

I believe our CSAF and CMSAF when they say there is a leadership/bureaucratic issue that they want to fix. How can we accelerate change when there is a very clear force of somewhere in the middle leadership that doesn’t even care for their Airmen? How can we truly have an improving Air Force if our leadership can’t even have integrity and excellence in all they do?

And lastly I want to make it very clear that I truly believe our lower enlisted and junior officers hold this force up. And I hope that you have trust in your CoC as much as I do.

If our Airmen believe their leadership doesn’t care, then how can we expect our Airmen to care?

Has anyone worked for/with Balfour Beatty Construction (south-east or Texas divisions)? Good or bad to work with?

I ordered the wrong ring size, at least I think? I cannot find anywhere in my order what size I ordered my ring in, so I don't know what sizes I can resize it to.

Anyway, Balfour's ring warranties seem super sketchy and out-dated. The website shows that I should ship my ring with the order #, a letter of instruction, and shipping costs to a P.O. box here in Austin. It doesn't seem like at any point they would let me know they've received the ring, or when they're sending it back. Idk, it's an expensive ring and I don't want to risk it getting lost without documentation of it being back in Balfour's hands.

Has anyone ever sent their class ring out to get resized/fixed in any way to Balfour successfully? Thanks in advance

I'm catching all the legendary fish, but I'm in chapter 4. All I have left are the Van Horn fish and the Steelhead trout. Van Horn is no issue, but the trout is pretty much right on her doorstep. Can she be encountered in Chapter 4 or is she for later in the game only? I don't wanna do her story till chapter 6, so if there is a chance of accidentally triggering her missions when I go for the fish, I'd rather just wait.
