    Just because we’re authorized to wear them tomorrow, unless your leadership is saying you have to, just continue with your bag. Personally I’ll wear mine as long as I can, I could care less what I can wear.

    Where does it say we are authorized to wear the A2CU tomorrow? Legit question that I can't find the answer to.

    Thread revival. 

    OCP wear (ABU equivalent) can happen tomorrow per the guidance. I don't see where this includes the A2CU (2 piece flight suit). The AMC Sup says you can only wear it while performing flying duties or the sim and hasn't been updated to state that it can be worn all the time. Does anyone know of any different guidance?

    So currently stuck without network access betweeen AORs. What’s this talk of renegotiating?  Unable to access the PSDM. 

    If you took the bonus prior to FY17 and it has not expired, you can renegotiate your contract. Problem is that it has to be a minimum of 3 years and is only for your current contract payout. You don't get the benefits of the FY19 rates. Not worth it.

    More Uniform Changes!

    You misunderstood me. I said the entire AF should be in OCPs; that way we all look the same rather than some being in OCPs, some in flight suits, some in blues, and some in ABUs. I don't care about looking the same as other services, I just think there should be some uniformity across our own service

    I did not misunderstand you. Leadership doesn't want the entire AF in OCPs in garrison.

    It's been approved/pseudo-expected to be worn for some time in AFSOC...I wish they would just officially go to OCPs as the only duty uniform, and have the entire service in the same uniform, all the time.


    Not going to happen.

    Leadership believes we should have a uniform for in garrison that distinguishes us apart from the other services. When we deploy with our joint partners downrange is when we should look as one team in order to make it harder for the enemy to distinguish between the services.

    Not my words, just relaying what was conveyed in an open forum less than a week ago at Maxwell.

    I know a guy (11U) who got his ETP approved a few months ago, so the precedent is there.

    Not sure how that's possible since AFPC doesn't even send them up the chain until after the end of the FY and all eligible applications have been processed (they just sent them up late this week). It may have been sent up by his leadership, but nothing has been approved by HAF/A1P.

    Final numbers have been posted...55% take rate. They also have the end of year report up if you want to read it.

     

    What's alarming (to everyone but Big Blue...nothing to see here) is the fact that the overall pilot loss rate was 61.7%, with almost 71% of eligible mobility pilots leaving (if I'm reading that right). This also leaves the mobility pilot force the youngest out of all the types. What could possibly go wrong?

    Edit: I think the percentages of pilots leaving is based upon those eligible to leave during that FY.

    Check out post #1812 in "promotion and PRF information"...someone saw an email stating 84%...where did you hear 72%?

    84% was the promotion opportunity for the board. What I don't know is if it is combination of BPZ, IPZ, and APZ though as I never saw said email.

    My $ is on continuation being offered for the twice passed over guys, vice non-continuation and TERA. I'd be willing to bet the promo rate will be at or above the 84%.

    Not sure where this 84% keeps coming from. I'm hearing 72% across the AF...up from 67% last year.

    Any RUMINT out there for SecAF's critical skills/afsc list this year wrt continuation? How about tera for passed over bros? I'm guessing probably a month or so before the results are out. Curious to see what jobs are continued/not.

    June 9th is the official release. Haven't seen anything yet on continuation or TERA.

    I don't have the PSDM in front of me but I thought I remembered seeing that this year SRs were to rack/stack all selects and 20% of candidates.

    May nominate no more than 20% of IDE and 25% of their SDE candidates. They MUST nominate 100% of their selects who meet time on station requirements.
