I'd say on the whole, it was a good weekend - FSU is moving in a new direction, and USC upset OSU in solid fashion. Now I've got to pay $800 for my wife, young daughter and son, to go to USC at UCLA in the Rose Bowl. You win some, you lose some.

You said it yourself, we're strapped for cash - Probably had to pay by the letter.

"he'll bring the Louie"

Now Norvell has the best job in the world, fired college football coach with a $50.8M payout. Add that to FSU' $480M debt and they are in big trouble. I would love to see Coach Prime come in and continue this program on the path towards the train station but there has been a lot of chatter about Jimbo coming back. The best part, they spelled his name wrong.

Deon coming home

All it took was a plane and 4th quarter walkout.

FSU coach fired....

Who knows, but after 50+ years as a Gator, nothing surprises me anymore... 😞😞😞

Does the 171st only have T-Models and no R-Models?

Miami wins again but our defense is not that good...I have a bad feeling about next week. Miami soundly beats Clemson, FSU plays Miami to the wire, Clemson crushes FSU. Apparently they flew a banner over the stadium during before the game calling for the firing of Norvell. @M2 What is up with UF....they play lights out one week then look like a high school team the next? Your team has talent and a good coach. Ohio State is one dimensional without their starting QB. A lot of two loss SEC teams and Kentucky is standing at #2 in the conference. Crazy times.

Since I am old school, live near DM and flew the A-37B I had to look up what an EA-37B was. Classes certainly are small ie 18. We had 50 in my class. How do they award DG status or do they? It was the top 10% in my class and two of the guys were previous F-4 WSO's, one with 3 Mig kills both finishing 1 & 2.

Happy Halloween

Ahh. ARTEMIS making issues? That sucks. Hopefully they can find a workaround for it because if you have RPA hours, today would be the last day to update them for your PCSM according to the PSDM.

I think what dreambig said is generally applicable to fighters as well. Overall downrange, guys are flying a normal year’s worth in 2-3 months. That has ebbed and flowed with the “cease fire”-not cease fire-“cease fire” cycle, so just a generalization.

I know guys in my old squadron that were looking to apply this year were trying to use RPA hours. I want to say folks at AFPC were taking them but at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. The issue my guys ran into is since SARM uses a new system to log everything when the guys routed the memo with the excel hour report produced by SARM the AFPC folks denied it since that didn't look official compared to the old ARMS report.

That shift from a 90+ exemption to an actual unit program is the part I find most interesting. Do those programs look different from the usual test preparation, or is it mostly more scheduled group sessions?

I realized where you guys are wrong. The PSDM says "Hours accrued during IFT can be logged in your civilian flight log; hours earned through CSO/RPA/ABM training cannot be added to your civilian logbook to boost your PCSM score. " Again, RPA hours can and do count toward your PCSM score. You all misinterpreted the verbiage.

I don't think the board cared about 500 hours and no ratings. They could see I was an RPA Pilot when I applied via my AF Form 215 and other application materials.

That might be a new thing but when I applied, it was explicitly allowed via a memo or maybe the PSDM that said RPA hours can count toward PCSM score. Just to add more evidence, if you check out the candidate worksheet on the PCSM website, question 14 asks how you received your hours and one of the ways is RPA. And here is a screenshot my records:

Deployment predictability is better on tac airlift side but the threats they are facing is unprecedented, especially in garrison.
