    Just make sure you aren't on injun land. They get uppity
  2. I blame weak leadership. But it can still be done, if that's your thing
  3. You can drink in uniform Daily in a fighter squadron
  4. Looking back over almost 24 years of all flying I would absolutely do it again. But then again, I'm easily entertained.
  5. Not everyone catches the yellow fever.
  6. Go and see the world. Maybe she's the one. But maybe you've never been more than 4 hours away from your house and you don't know what you're missing.
  7. PC isn't decided at the base. We've had folks get non-concurred all the way up and then approved PC of over a year.
  8. Go in person. Social media may be of use to find out where to go/who to go to, but is not the vehicle for pleading your case. Call, get an appointment, and spend the money to get there. Have your ducks in a row
  9. Go to mons Venus and wear an ass as a hat. Rinse. Repeat. Enjoy Tampa.
  10. Crazy Carl is also running a part 141 operation. You may have some "getting a refund" leverage by offering to take your issues to the FAA
  11. False That's ONE way to do it. But those commanders almost universally suck ass
  12. You mean the comments from the masses on "Russia today" aren't overwhelmingly sympathetic and pro-us? shocking.
  13. Nellis lodging is legendary for trying to steer you where THEY want you to stay. With non-A letters in hand, politely tell them to eat a dick and stay where you like.
  14. The have a constant stream of Lts .... the b-coursers
  15. Klepto Bruiser Tracer So many more.
  16. You don't ever have to be attached to be promoted/be a cc.
  17. Stay in the squadron and fly as your primary job. Never volunteer to be attached and if you get wind that you are being considered for an attached or non-flying gig, resist it kicking and screaming!
  18. Why do you need an Air Force base? You certainly don't need a runway. Wouldn't any base (army/navy/etc) have the personnel support you'd need? Hell, why do you need a base at all? Lease a few secure office buildings and put a dish on the roof. With enough "distributed architecture" there'd be plenty of redundancy. Hmmmmm: -Sydney Australia (The Aussies don't give a ) -Kiwi land -Maui -Guam -Nashville -Marathon -Belize -US Virgin Islands -Brussels/London/Paris (Western Europe) -Some tiny Greecian island from the posters in the gyro shop -And a Droid Center of Excellence (Hub) in maybe Denver or salt lake. You know, for hurricanes and what not. Shit, I bet we could put a deadbolt on the door to my office at home, set up a taclane, and run most everything from a desktop computer. Spread that out worldwide. Telecommute and get paid by the hour. It'd be a decent supplement to retirement income.
  19. Better yet, park them in garden spots and spread them all out 4-5 timezones apart. Boom! No one has to work nights. No more shift work.
  20. Gen Welsh was at Tyndall last week chatting with the pilots, among other things. I heard a lot of ideas and options to make commitments and contractual obligations longer .... Up to 15-20 years post upt. I did not hear anything about making things more desirable, or less painful, so that people would want to stay longer.
  21. Also take this as a larger lesson for the rest of your Air Force career. People will invariably tell you what's best/easiest for THEM. You will be BFM'ing shoes for the rest of your adult life.
