In my first "welcome to the squadron" meeting with the CC, he had a print out of my SURF. We went through it line by line and everything that needed to be corrected was highlighted. The more I read these stories, the more I realize how helpful that actually was.

For anyone wondering the solution to my original problem, the reg is 30 days return from a deployment to a PCS. Anything sooner requires a waiver.

I rarely post, but choke yourself.

The pilot in our sq who is doing T-6s @ Pensacola (joint spouse) had PIT dates to Randolph...

Good recap of his AFA speech here: http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/09/air-force-mark-welsh-outlines-foundational-missions-091812/ Overall, meh.

My bad, it's a 12th AF SII.

So back on topic, is this the reason for ACCs new CRM SII?

Does anyone have any update on the PIT Pads, specifically what happened to them all? www.aviatorpalace.com is down - any experience with http://www.randolphpitpad.com/ ?

Sheppard Air has a good FAQ, and has this as one of their questions: http://www.sheppardair.com/Answer11.htm

Anyone?

Reposting this so it doesn't get lost...

Question: Is there a min time allowed between returning from a deployment and when you leave for a TDY en route to a PCS? Also, are holidays factored into it? It's looking like I may get back in mid Dec and TDY en route class starts Jan 15th. I am concerned because of the Christmas/New Years holidays. Do you think this will be a problem? I am single with no family in the area. Also, I scoured 36-2110 but didn't see anything.

This. It's not about "I'm too tired to fly from working on my Masters", it's a slow deterioration of airmanship over time. I am not going to second guess these guys but I will be eagerly awaiting the SIB report, both for curiosuity and education.

Don't forget 10 years of dividends.

You don't need one. http://www.amazon.com/Four-Pillars-Investing-Building-Portfolio/dp/0071747052

Completely unrelated, but it did neither. Skip to 1:16 for the fall out.

It's about one 3 month deployment a year, not including good deal trips/TDYs.

For those of us that completed the SOS via Correspondence course, with the changes and elimination of that course - was it a waste of time?

Just a heads up through the email chain: From our shirt, an email chain forwarding: From the FSS Commander:

Not really leadership, but incoming crews should note: Marriott of Doha lost the laundry service contract, and has been replaced by blue shirt wearing "Dream Laundry Services." I turned in my laundry on the 1st, came back on the fourth, said "not ready, come back tomorrow." Came back on the 5th and only my flight suit was ready - so I went back to talk to someone about it. In the back, I filled out a Laundry Investigative Complaint form, and wrote the above. Came back today (the 7th) and after the guy disappearing for 15 minutes, coming back and saying "not ready, come back tomorrow" I asked to speak to the guy in charge. I ended up speaking a the white guy in a suit and tie (Emoh?) who gave me some lip service, asked if I wanted to wait while he called the Operations Manager at the warehouse (I did) and listened to him read every item I was missing, along with ticket number and Complaint Form #. Said to check back tonight, and talk to the night supervisor, named Kevin. Furthermore, the base contracting officer was in the back talking to everyone else. I did my own laundry today. Every time I went in, there were of 4-8 people complaining with lost items/clothes not ready/people getting random ABUs & other people's clothing. The Wing CC had dinner with us a few days ago and we let him know as well. Furthermore, on a related note, I came back to this in our crew's hallway:

3 years is about right. Commissioned 18 June 07, IFS March/April 08, graduated UPT June 09, finished IQT/MQT 10 Feb 10, first deployment June of 2010.

Deployed to OTBH - if anyone is doing a league and has room for one extra person, lemme know.

To add on to this, it really depends on crew position. Several of us are 3 on 9 home. Also 2 month good deals to other locations reset that timer.

I did this last night, 9.95 to download Office 11 for Mac, and then did the DVD option for an extra 13 bucks. I'm in ACC, and if you need the link/program code, PM me a .mil address.

I understand the basis of it, but it still seems ridiculous. Like, I think I'll get 6 Masters degrees just to upstage him. Then wait until the guy who upstages me, he'll be a shoe in for whereever he wants to go!
