  1. This board is now planned for 11 July 2021. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The World Famous Bayou Militia is tentatively planning an inexperienced hiring board on Sunday, 11 July 2021 at NAS JRB New Orleans, LA. Obviously COVID will play a part in this, so be prepared to flex. Applicants should have a current PCSM, resume, transcripts, and letters of recommendation ready to submit prior to any visit. Please direct all questions to 122fspilothiring@gmail.com. I won’t respond to DMs, inquiries, etc. on this platform. Nuke Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Due to concerns about everybody’s health we’re cancelling any squadron visits this weekend. I apologize to those of you that have bought tickets and made plans, but we gotta play it safe here. Slam will speak up at some point regarding future visits, boards, etc. Nuke Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. The 122d Fighter Squadron is planning to hold an Inexperienced hiring board on Sunday, 17 May 2020. Please contact Maj Stanley Cheng at 122fspilothiring@gmail.com if you're interested in visiting the World Famous Bayou Militia over March or April drill (14-15 March, 4-5 April). Cheers, Lt Col Sam Joplin Commander, 122d Fighter Squadron
  5. Today I get a letter from the VA saying I’ve fallen behind on my home mortgage, so naturally I investigate: NBKC apparently sold my loan to a company called Freedom Mortgage, and notified me with letter(not certified!), which I somehow missed due to being in another country all summer, early fall. I’ve gotten weekly, sometimes daily refinance offers from Freedom since I bought the house, so everything from them automatically goes in the circular file. Turns out that as of Oct they’ve been mortgage statements, and as an added bonus my auto-payment didn’t transfer, so I’m 5 months behind, hence the VA notice. Paid in full but so much for my stellar credit. Anybody been through this or have any advice? Recommend stay away from Freedom, btw; they’re notorious for VA Loan Churning. NBKC can pound sand too, seems like they’d make a bigger deal about the transfer than a single mailing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. We have an ORM sheet under glass on the step desk. Flight leads tally it up and tell the 1CO’s, who write it on the flight auth (for record keeping) and tell the SOF. If it needs FS/DO or higher approval the SOF makes the phone call. It’s a simple a process as you can make it. No need to church it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I also got my ATP Single Engine & CFI Single Engine with Gordo - he goes 100% by the book, so if it's in the PTS, it's in the checkride. That being said, he is a retired Phantom Phlyer so he speaks our language and tailors his act accordingly. Well worth the trip to Jasper - great instruction, great equipment and a fairly adminstered checkride.

  9. Was there ever any question that Gates had a chip on his shoulder WRT the AF? Hiring Skeletor (Schwartz) was tantamount to "cutting off your nose to spite your face." Great leadership, dick.
  10. Glad to hear that you guys are all safe.
  11. When I was wrapping up my MC-12 tour, some of the EFIS-equipped MC-12s from Balad were being transferred to the Army, so unless you have intimate knowledge of this mishap, I wouldn't rule out the possibility. Army flies with mixed crews as well.
  12. My two cents: 1) Don't igore it. I understand you may be walking a fine line between semi and permanent DNIF here, but consider this: until you get a qualified doc to look at it (and perhaps an MRI), you have no way of knowing exactly what is going on in there. My MRI was pretty eye-opening. It's not going to get better, but I can manage it. 2) Consider all your treatment options. Something to consider as an alternative to Chiro: I have the standard BFM neck, and it got to a point where I couldn't function. I rolled the bones with my flight doc, whom I trusted. After a few months of PT didn't really help, it was suggested I try "dry-needling," which is a clinical version of accupuncture. Turns out there was a PT Doc on base who was qualified. 3 sessions later and Voila! Worked like a charm. Worth looking into. 3) Document, document, document. If you are going the covert route, realize that when and if you want to collect VA Disibility, you're probably going to need some documentation. My med records show a "history of non-debilitating neck pain as a result of flying." Again, trusted Flight Docs. Nuke
  13. Before you rush to judgement, it's important to point out that he was once a "freelance classical music and opera critic for the Washington Post."
