They whine too much, and it's tolerated by their leadership. After all, they're kids too...

I agree. I spent four years in Europe as a TAC maintenance officer in the Air Force during the heart of the Cold War, in the Reagan years. Trying to keep Vietnam era F4-E's and F4-C's in the air was no easy task. Once a week we had to spend 24 hours in a gas mask and charcoal suit building drop tanks and practicing decon.
My friend's son is in the AF now. He's in an overstaffed NDI shop and spends most of his day playing video games and ping pong. ..and they can take "stress leave"???
