What? Details of their affairs weren't known by the public until years later. > I didn't want a mentally impaired octogenarian in charge. So you're not happy with the...lemme see... 79 yr old in office?

Colorado is the perfect example of previous blue state residents completely destroying what used to be an awesome state. Let it be a crystal clear lesson for everyone in red states who say, “yeah well this is _____, it’ll never happen here/we’re safe.” That’s what everyone said in CO in the 90s; apathy will fuck you over 100% of the time.

surprised and happy Horner was shown the door. I am betting it was a strategic decision by Red Bull to try to keep Max.

Sadly true. I love that area, and always said it would be the most likely place we'd live if we ever left Texas (which won't happen); but during my last TDYs there it became quite apparent the place was quickly turning blue...

Corrected. Same goes with Californians moving to Texas!

Thanks for the info! I’ll give it another few days and then start reaching out. That said, the board said I should be fine as long as it’s certified pending MFS prior to October. If I’m waiverless and it takes that long… 🥴 I spoke to our Wing execs yesterday and they said leaving box 19 empty was fine and it seemed more like a place to explain if you had hours that weren’t accounted for in your PCSM or something along those lines. We’ll see what happens I guess! You should be all set as long as it says certified pending MFS. The MFS you’ll go TDY to Wright Pat for if (when) you’re selected. Best of luck to you both!

T-6 IP in the Reserves

T-6A avionics upgrade is actively in the works.. I'd have to imagine the T6 will be around at least another 10. And l really couldn't imagine the T-7 getting online for many more years. Randolph is supposed to get its first in December. -

My first FC1-related appt was lab work back in April, a few days ago i got the approved FC1 with "pending MFS" like you mentioned. I don't know all so now im questioning if that means i have to go back to Wright Pat? Anyone know? As for the blank box like Parsons mentioned, i can see it being additional space to write things but i opted not to based on last years 215 where the blank box was actually where we put our name like box 19 states. Seems like a clerical error and i dont want to portray to AFPC that i didnt have enough room to fit everything so i found extra space to include a bit more. Apples to apples i guess.

From start to finish, mine took 7 weeks (with a waiver required) Luckily leadership at my SQ helped make things happen. If able, sit down with leadership and probe the possibility of expediting things. SQ CCs have connections and the ability to call people most others cannot. I made the mistake of calling HQ and it almost ended badly so do not follow directly in my foot steps... that said, the squeaky wheel often gets greased. As for your personal statement on the AF215... there is a high probability that your wing commander has not seen your package yet. If I were in your position I would ask my SQ execs to call over to the DCO/GP/WG execs to see if there is an option to modify your form. It is my assumption that the Pilot Board takes everything into consideration; a blank white box that gives you the freedom to express your intent or display your acumen may come off as you not caring or a lack of SA on the paperwork.

Yeah, I ended up leaving it blank. Everything is turned into the Wing, so we'll see how it plays out! How long did it take you to get your IFC1 certified (pending MFS, I'm assuming)? I'm also currently deployed and got the run around from the deployed EMDS, which was super frustrating seeing as I'm currently medical, but I digress. I ended up going to Ramstein a few weeks ago and getting it knocked out. Hoping it comes back quickly since I shouldn't require any waivers. It sounds like the board is a little more flexible with deployed members in terms of expecting their IFC1 to be certified prior to the board suspense, but I don't want to push it too much.

What happened to "nose high goes high"
-
SIG came in WAY under what the other test submissions offered. It also offered the modular functionality that the others didn't.
-
If that's the case, I am at a loss to understand why we didn't just buy the G17 and G19 and be done with it. It's a 9mm pistol that 99% of the time will never be used.
-
The added manual safety doesn't have any effect on the M18 over the 320. The 320 was/is having issues without the manual safety. You aren't wrong that the safety is a dumb govt requirement though.
-
Quality control is a plausible explanation why others arent able to duplicate in significant numbers. Maybe a part in the safety mechanism is prone to excessive wear leading to failure. Either way, if this is a failure of Sig they need to be held accountable.

From what I've been able to read, all the FBI testing was essentially inconclusive due to the testing requirment modifications that needed to be done to the guns. Couldn't entirely rule out that the modifications didn't exacerbate the problem. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Zero reason to field/employ this system because of that. The AF got 125,000 M18s for about $150 a pop.

Sounds to me like the military took a high quality product, demanded it be changed to suit the idiocy of some of our members who should never touch a gun in the first place, then were surprised that the product doesn't function like the OTS product. SiG makes excellent firearms. So does Glock. We should have just picked an OTS product and bought it outright instead demanding it have an extra safety, which is what I understood happened. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
