I got the letters (same deal, NBKC sold my mortgage to Freedom), and also found it odd that my auto payments didn't transfer. Was a bit of a pain to get it set up with Freedom and make sure it was working correctly within the 2 month grace period. Freedom seemed a bit shady, so I pinged @Jon - Trident Home Loans and got a refi done through Trident. Shaved 2 years and half a percent. Trident sold my loan to Caliber Mortgage about a week after closing on the refi (which was expected, clearly stated in the paperwork they won't be the loan servicer). So far so good...

I lived IVO Tanque Verde/Sabino Canyon, just north of the Tanque Verde wash and drive to work was 15-20 min depending on gate traffic. It was 20 minutes to pretty much everywhere in tucson. Loved the area! In general, I'd recommend living north of the river.- Passing of Matmacwc

No. 561st does tactics (AFTTP 3-1 and 3-3). This is the flight manuals. Dash 1, Dash 34, etc.- Lockheed hiring at Hill AFB - F-16 SPO
Lockheed Martin is hiring an F-16 Flight Manual Manager to the team at Hill AFB. If you or anyone you know might be interested, and you aren't going to the airlines, please consider applying! LM Aero is a great company to work for and the work environment and team at the F-16 SPO are top notch! PM me if you have any questions. You don't need to have F-16 experience (though it would be great if you did!), but you do have to be aircrew. https://www.lockheedmartinjobs.com/job/hill-air-force-base/f-16-flight-manual-manager/694/14369192?fbclid=IwAR1NKFDcEoO-0cWDep4KYV8TuXhqkCg2GYQK2__08C1VKRUUZHFO4yOCiAw- Air Force awards contract for new helicopters to guard nukes MH-139
there's already a program of record called Gray Wolf. I'm sure there will be no confusion there...- F1 Thread
the track surface at COTA looked atrocious on TV. Hopefully they started the resurfacing effort about an hour after the F1 race ended... Hamilton's my boy, I think Ferrari are idiots with how the run their drivers and suck at strategy, I hope Albon does well at Red Bull, I feel sorry for Ricciardo and hope Renault make a good show next year, and WTF happened to Williams in the last few years? Oh, and I don't think Nico Rosberg is a great driver - he only won because of the superior Merc equipment and some unluckiness on Lewis' part. I also think Haas made a mistake in keeping Grosjean in a seat. He needs to go.- PSAB is Back
It was only for 24 hrs. Yawn.- Neck and Back Injury
@Skitzo, don't cross train to helos, it'll make the back and neck issues worse due to the poor ergonomics + NVGs + body armor.- Neck and Back Injury
can confirm. Had numbness in little and ring finger of left hand for about 6 weeks after dislocating my left elbow. I don't recommend dislocating your elbow.- VA Loans
- Digital ORM
I have KIO and RTB at least four times in my career due to environmental conditions, during training. So our ORM went high, and we decided it wasn't worth the squeeze. One time it was about 3 minutes after takeoff, with the SQ/DO sitting in the other seat. In combat, I've definitely upchanneled things due to High ORM to get approval to launch, or in one case, approval to continue after launching.- Viper for sale

I'm sure the entire Fighter/Bomber Directorate is being told to evaluate it. I can't speak to trainers, but yes, that reasoning would make sense, since the MAF pilots would theoretically PCS in without bags.- 2 Piece Flight Suits
I can report that it's being evaluated for airworthiness in at least one ejection seat MDS.- Fort Rucker Housing/Living Recommendations
Dothan is the biggest town in the area, but it's a half hour away. Most folks live in Enterprise. I've lived in both Ozark and Enterprise, and would put Enterprise above any other nearby surrounding towns.- F-16 Was Used By Pakistan, IAF Displays AMRAAM Missile Part As Proof
