Talk to the contracting squadron, they can get you started. UFR's are subject to base leadership's prioritization if I remember correctly, so depending on how much support you have, it may go smoothly or it may not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A friend of mine is at some training where an O-5 from a UPT base was discussing the pilot retention problem. It was said that the idea is to triple training throughout, but jets are broken and have been for awhile, and there aren't enough IP's to go around. He said that there is no way the Air Force can recover from the pilot shortfall with the UPT pipeline being broken/slow, to which end he used the words "stop loss." What kind of picture has been painted for congressional leadership on how bad the impending pilot shortage is, and what is actually being proposed to counter it? Is stop loss actually on the table as a "fix" to this problem? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome to AMC. I had 800 hours in 9.5 months my first year at TCM with 280 days TDY, most of it across the pond. Turned around the next year for CPAD, deployed for 120 and airdropped my face off. You're in a good place, trust me. Make the most of it and you will have doors open for you when you need them to. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd advise anyone reading this that the SIB and AIB are charged with gathering ALL the facts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Question: what will promotion increments look like for the latest batch of major selects now that the next board has been moved up? I would think they would have to be larger than the 230 from the last board. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

84.6% promotion rate for the 16C board. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that 10% higher than the historical average? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

McDewsh, hell no. Robinson gets my vote.

McDew has done enough damage in AMC (reference the alpha flight structure idea as evidence). Time for him to retire. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Stumbled on an outfit that is just north of Baltimore, Middle River Aviation. It's close to home and the price seems fair. They've got a Grumman GA7, nice looking airplane. Anybody have an after action report on this place? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Having been on a couple ISB's now, I can say that command post may take liberties with their initial message release. If it isn't being screened by an FSO (it definitely should be), there may very well be some privileged info in it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Potential increase in SF presence at Moody? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Finish your deployment, but you won't have a job when you get home...... I should have VSP'd. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Dumbasses on CNN posted an image of a -17 instead of Herk with their article on this. Tell your aviation analyst to choke themselves CNN. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
