The aircraft was performing a routine training mission.

William Nelson, Air Force Special Operations Command Surgeon General's office, was transferred to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola.

BREAKING NEWS

US Air Force concludes investigation into improper management techniques

WHOOPS: The usless, back stabber is removed after a long reign of terror, an expert said

AP AND AFP, WASHINGTON
Friday, Sep 07, 2007, Page 7

A US Air Force fire department at Eglin Air Force Base has finally done the right thing, Pentagon officials say.

The outcrys from the firefighters, and the attempts at salvaging his career  triggered an Air Force probe and the firing of a District Chief, Pentagon officials said on Friday.

US President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were informed immediately after the multitude  of mistakes came to light, and Gates has asked for daily briefings  until the jerk is gone, Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell said.

The District Chief, originally an instructor at Goodfellow Air Force Base in Texas thought he could run a entire shift of people how ever he wanted, without fear of reprisal, said fire department officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of a Pentagon policy not to confirm information some of the hair brained ideas and scams.

The Eglin FD has relieved the District Chief of his duties, and launched an investigation into his actions and stupidness, a Pentagon spokesman said.

"At no time was there a threat to public safety," - but then again, I didn't want him working on me or my family!  Lieutenant Colonel Ed Thomas said.

"It is important to note that other firefighters had a clue, and kept operations safe, secure and under military control at all times," he said.

The Pentagon would not provide details, citing secrecy rules, but an expert said the incident was unprecedented, and pointed to a disturbing lapse in the departments command and control system, as some key personnel have retired, resigned, PCS'd or just called it quits.

"It seems so fantastic that so many people were kind enough to point out mistakes and errors and the idiot still didn't wanna change" said an unnamed source.  More news is expected soon!
