Herkasaurus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Went in 2010. It may have changed, but at the time your ranking was a mix of flight (peer) input, flight ranking, grades, and flight/cc input - in that order. As I recall your peer input was worth 40-50% and flt/cc ranking was only 10%. They added them all up and the top 10% in the school were the DGs. zb It may have changed since then. Granted I went on a waiver in 2012, but DG was decided about 3 days before our final peer evals were done. Unless they took the midterm eval and used it in your percentage breakdown. Either way, several guys I know that have DG'd around the 2011-2013ish classes all have 20lb brains and severely lack in common sense. Maybe that's what big blue wants for those particular years as GOs though. Hence why I'm curious if anyone knows the truth of it all. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if our future leaders are just damn good at writing papers based off a movie we watched in class while I was tending to a hangover and counting down the hours before I could start again.

Jughead Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 If by AAD you mean a Bachelor degree, then yes. Bachelor degrees in general are highly desired but not required. High school diplomas are generally required. Can't speak to community service. Of all the apps I've filled out I've seen it mentioned once, on AA as I recall. If you're talking about formal requirements, OK, college is only "highly desired." In reality, effectively zero guys without a college degree are getting hired (hell, getting interviewed) at the legacies without it right now....

HossHarris Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 But soon.... They'll be throwing signing bonuses at anyone with a restricted ATP that doesn't lick the window in the interview room! (Cue butters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 When I interview a candidate for a position with my company, the question of whether or not they are PME complete and their DG status is the first. This is followed by a line of questions regarding their ability to lead by PowerPoint, their PT score, and whether they prefer to backstab or openly roll over their bros on their way to their next promotion.

17D_guy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 So, back to things that are wrong: Deploying 60% of your support force (Comm, FSS, Finance, SF, etc) while flying operational missions out of the base. Because AEFNEXT or whatever shit we're calling it now. Don't forget those TCN taskings that came up last second or the reclama's that come down. Enjoy the ESD boys, at least they'll have people around to pick up the phone... eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Driver Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 So, back to things that are wrong: Deploying 60% of your support force (Comm, FSS, Finance, SF, etc) while flying operational missions out of the base. Because AEFNEXT or whatever shit we're calling it now. It should be called AEFPAST. This is how we deployed at one point in time. I am not sure about this one yet, but generally speaking deploying as a unit instead of onesie, twosie is how I would prefer to go. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Vetter Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) How this came up is a good question, but another question worth asking is why 5 dudes with career-enhancing DG accolades decide to get out of the AF? Of course this question is rhetorical since this thread explains a lot of it, but it is a question the AF should be asking but probably doesn't recognize the significance of it yet. It didn't come up. We were too drunk and happy to be there. I was being sarcastic. No one...let me repeat, NO ONE...gives a shit about DG. Now, FAIPgate...pics or it didn't happen.
