Dr Muller…physicist. Seems legit.

That is still a Congress problem. The AF is required to present a business case for all pilot bonus offerings to prove that it is needed at a specific amount for each community. It doesn’t help that the other Services say their pilot retention is “fine” and actively discourage increasing the bonus further.

Statistics of small numbers but interesting. Vaccinated but still reading what is out there. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/heart-inflammation-after-covid-19-shots-higher-than-expected-study-us-military-2021-06-29/ Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Odd. Other countries (UK, Aussies, Canucks) seem to have figured out the pilot pro pay. A Capt on flight pay who stayed flying the line makes more than a staff Maj (and some Lt Col). Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

You’re more than 2x passed over, right? Many times people don’t care to notify you because they figure you already know you didn’t make it.

Slaves were told they were independent nationally until 19 Jun 1865. So, yes, it is an accurate name. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Well, at least there is a trans person. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Cold. But then they will be other community problems!

Shit, we can’t even get “ADS-B Out OFF” right in my community. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

We beg fighter units for refueling. Especially night refueling. We couldn’t care less about heavy receiver work when we can just go swap spit.

It is also only 61(?)% effective vs 95+% for Moderna and Pfizer.

These are not my opinions. These are the tanker excuses/reasons.

From a KC-10 perspective: Because simply being admin gas sucks and is mostly a waste of our time. Because TACC doesn’t have the tail availability to do a flag and other TRANSCOM-validated things. Because CENTCOM has too many of our jets. Because we don’t have a weapons school to speak the same language and properly integrate into a planning team. Because we don’t have anything to be on the net (yet). Are they all excuses? Yes. But every time I’ve been involved in a flag, my job has been to sit fat, dumb, and happy in an anchor that is either off the range or outside the engagement area. It’s a self-licking ice cream cone…we don’t get valuable training (except boom fighter contacts) so we don’t value it so we stay admin gas because we don’t have the ability/care to integrate.

Definitely down and retracted. The boom is usually down for an air show pass in the big tanker. Not sure about the little guy there.

Leadership doesn’t need to ask. A commander can get the list of fully, partially, and non-vaccinated individuals without violating HIPAA. There is a readiness need, as some sunny locations allow fully vaccinated people to skip ROM.

They took it from a friend of mine who was 10ish months short of his ADSC at 20. He probably could have kept it if he called the bonus office and explained it was non-voluntary separation. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

KC-10 is approved for A-RNP with RNAV holding, offsets, and RF. The only things it can’t do are RNP AR, LNAV/VNAV, and LPV. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

More like 1984...

Props. Also, it reads like it could have been written this year given the lack of progress the AF has made on navigation...and the discussions of T-6 GPS problems, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

In all fairness, pre-2016(ish) the AIM/AIP and other FAA information said what you remembered. But it all changed a few years back which is why we changed. Much to the chagrin of UPT instructors. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Odd. That’s not what our AF reg says.
