  1. Didn't the Space Force axe them already? Squadrons direct report to whatever they renamed wings.
  2. Considering the chest pain side-effect has a rate of 67 per million I find it improbable that as many pilots as claimed above have had the issue. With about 15k rated officers this works statistically to about 1 rated officer having this issue. Additionally with symptoms presenting 1-5 days post dosage and then abating a case of late onset is even less likely. The amount of word of mouth dudes on here accept is honestly embarrassing.
  3. I know from afpc tankers/the 46 was (is?) a priority must fill along with AETC this last go around. LoveDumpster how is the 46 in reality? I feel the word on the street is a lot of growing pains involving not flying and not worth the tx right now.
  4. Any recommendations on how you pitch a crossflow to your cc and/or functional outside of special assignment programs (U2, 89th, Phoenix Reach, etc.)? From my experience it seems (or at least there's the appearance) that dudes who say they want to leave their mws often get hung out to dry.
  5. There's a memo template in the Post 9-11 GI Bill PSD Guide on mypers for this exact scenario. d. Members with an approved TEB application who wish to apply for voluntary retirement prior to meeting the TEB ADSC may request, in writing, removal of the ADSC. Dependents must NOT have used transferred benefits and member must NOT be selected for deployment or Permanent Change of Station (PCS). See myPers and Attachment 2 of this guide for additional information. For anyone reading this transfer to your spouse ASAP. My understanding is only the first transfer generates the ADSC. You can transfer from your spouse to children later on down the line and will not incur a second ADSC.
  6. GA flying was prohibited for studs by some wing or sq policy during my time in upt. Your mileage may very.
  7. I recall signing for the jet at the step desk during any upt solos. Though tbh as a stud with a helmet fire it could have been anything that I was signing.
  8. The "old" supt syllabus (as in prior to upt next) had ~80-90 T-6 hours regardless of track irrc. So it sounds like no real change there. Or am I misremembering?
  9. What's the deal with winging before phase 3? This isn't even upt next.
  10. Hope you're not a faip at Columbus. Word is leadership doesn't get along with the faips and banned any faip mafia attire (patches, flags).
  11. Laughlin fb page normally posts the drops when they graduate. Doesn't look like -10 has posted, but -9 is up. https://www.facebook.com/131392400211306/posts/4626828664000968/?sfnsn=mo
  12. How is any of this supposed to save the AF money? The T-1 costs a fraction per flight hour of the T-38, not to mention any of the follow on heavy platforms. As far as I can tell this is simply kicking the training can down the road to a different pot of money.
  13. Multiple B2 drops. Are these similar to the U2 drops? Fly as a 38 ip for a few years then have the opportunity to apply/graduate into the B2 or something different?
  14. PDSM is out. Can anyone speak to who should be writing the recs? SQ/CC, GP/CC, or higher? Are recs from experienced line pilots (EPs) useful at all? Professors? In terms of total flying time for the resume of flying exp does stud T-6 and follow on track count/mentionable? Or only student (primary) time post-wings?
  15. For starters his administration literally could have just not nixed the pandemic response team. https://apnews.com/article/ce014d94b64e98b7203b873e56f80e9a Biden even called the Trump administration out on it months before covid hit: https://twitter.com/joebiden/status/1187829299207954437?lang=en
  16. So this is what happened to the enlisted grad: "Senior Airman Brenten Boler graduated Pilot Training Next on August 31, 2019--the only one in his class who was not assigned an airframe. He was assigned to be a T-6A Texan II simulator instructor at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas." https://www.laughlin.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2334934/enlisted-graduate-of-pilot-training-next-instructs-at-laughlin
  17. For aspiring heavy dudes (to include afsoc) your gucci white jet tours (C21s) don't have any of these shenanigans. Upgrade to AC in a year, IP in another few months and a 2-4 year stress free assignment. Normal vml process for your mws follow-on.
  18. Is there any word on how studs from the first two classes are doing? Either in the schoolhouse or after?
  19. The way I read it and what I think Guardian is pointing out is the excess # is going to be different for each individual. I currently have 12.5 days of use/lose. In my Sept les that will show as 72.5 days of leave accumulated. I'm now authorized to retain up to that number until Sept 2023, but I can't go beyond it. For example I couldn't accumulate 102.5 days by not taking leave for all of FY21 as 102.5 is greater than what was reflected in my Sept 2020 les. Hopefully I'm wrong because finance will certainly it up if it's case-by-case.
  20. Report came out recently. Article and full PDF report. Causal: Loss of SA by MP2. Significant Contributing Factors: MP2's Lack of Proficiency with NSAAR, Inadequate Supervision, MP2's Consistent Below Average Performance, and Unprofessional Command Climate
  21. Positive one shared on reddit. Boston controller helping out a min fuel Viper. 2:23:00 if the link bugs out.
  22. This was shared on TPN fb group with regards to Goldfein's comment. Unsure how recent it is.
  23. That checks seeing as these extra classes drop and graduate together. Based off the above #s you have a class of 10 and 13 now instead of a single class of ~25 studs.
