What is considered a Nonner? Is it any AFSC that isn't a Maintainer?

OH... "Nonner"...
I Thought I Read "Nooner"
OOPS

As a proud maintainer, I can say that anyone who is a non-sortie generating motherfucker is a Nonner. However, there are exceptions for those who have to work crappy hours just like maintainers or are general harassed that are too awesome to be called Nonners. The insult of Nonners are those people who have a 8-1430 job and are closed every other Thursday for training ( MPF, medical, finance, and the like). This is not to say that their jobs aren’t important but generally they don’t understand how we can be so irate And hate them so much when they screw up our pay or come in smelling like fuel after a 12 hr shift and be asked to leave Yet they get to go home with little to no repercussions because “the system rejected it”. I would say that whole EOD is technically Nonners they are in the badass camp and are exempt from shit talking.

Anyone in the Air Force who can read above a 7th grade level is a nonner ;o)

I'm sure the flight line has changed abundantly since you turned a wrench, MSgt Wolverton.

I wasn't in aircraft maintenance. I was however in ground radio maintenance. I am sure that makes me a "nonner." However, I would like to see that aircraft get off the ground if I took all my radios back or if some of my coworkers had turned off the base computer network or telephone switch.
Just sayin'!

A nonner I was told non maintainer back when I worked in a maintenance squadron as an admin. But by actuality a nonner is somebody that doesn't have to worry about a normal shift being on the weekends or having people working 24/7 with different shifts and all that. I recon you could call some parts of EOD a nonner but you could call some parts of every job a nonner especially at the higher ranks because eventually you sit behind a desk and make informed decisions instead of out there turning a wrench or diffusing a bomb or checking id cards at the gates.

No idea

Don't rightly know. But I know what a "Nooner" is. I took them all time...and still do!!!

Without support, there are no sorties - and that's all. North Dakota - South Dakota -- All the Dakotas -- get over it. Chauvinism benefits no one!

NAPs: Non Airborne Personnel (Formerly LEGS Low Energy Ground Soldiers). I like this saying more. Now I like it more because a lot of people not being a Nonner would be considered one of these.
