How does having a bankruptcy on your record look, when you are trying to get a security clearance for the Air Force. (Either a Secret or Top Secret clearance) Thanks for the help.

One of the few good things about a joint job is that you get jokes from the other services. I received this today and thought it was pretty funny... Cheers! M2 Dear Shipmates: It has been brought to the Wardroom's attention that some individuals throughout the ship have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their shipmates.

I’m looking into my options for my 3rd assignment. I’m currently a C-17 pilot with air drop experience at Elmo and Charleston. I’m looking into life as an AMLO. Does anyone have a list of available locations for AMLO or any AMLO experience that they’d like to share? Thanks!

Nothing written up in the TDY gouge section; TDY to NFARS for a few weeks. Lodging? WiFi quality in said lodging? Gym? Local eats? Send it!

Today. Crew got out. Second EA-18 incident in recent memory.

This reminds me of my first rejoin ever in a T-6. https://www.m90.org/index.php?id=10525 **PROBABLY NOT WORK SAFE** (has links and ads for "adult" material)

On an earlier post (First Command), someone said SGLI does not cover combat/aviation deaths. Is this true?

Here's a kiss-my-butt/goodbye posting from a jarhead aviator. I'm not going to comment on it, but it sure is an interesting read. https://austin.craigslist.com/about/best/wdc/118782492.html [ 04. April 2006, 20:56: Message edited by: LJDRVR ]

Just finished UPT and C-130 school. Waiting for my shipment of HHG's back to my home unit right now, in fact. My UTM / finance is saying I do not qualify for DLA moving back to home station because it's considered a "separation PCS." Can anyone chime in on this? Seems insane to deny almost $3k worth of DLA. Moving is effing expensive, especially with a wife, 2 kids and a dog... Just want to make sure I'm asking the right questions and not overlooking anything. Thanks in advance!

Pretty crazy. Lots of videos that confirm this view.

I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for what might be the Ole Miss rebels last win this past weekend against the Citadel. Before the game there was a great 3 pass fly-by by four F16's..it was friggin awesome. Anybody know what unit they might have been from? Hotty Toddy!

Just curious what the most recent loan was for cadets. In 97 it was 18k at 3.5%. Any recent grads care to share?

Currently I'm in UPT approaching track select. Just looking for the correct path to fly the AC-130Us. My background includes flying over both lick-my-sack-a-stan's as a 135 nav flying low, dark, and unarmed. Just thought it might be a bit more fun being on the other end of the boom and making bad things go boom-boom. Anyone in the community that can point me in the right direction. At least toward AFSOC. Ultimately, I would like to fly the Reapers.

The War clip 1 Clip 2 On sudays at 8pm on PBS there is a new documentary on WWII that looked very interesting. Thought I'd post a clip or two and give you guys a heads up!

So I got my nice Air Force Times yesterday and as mentioned before on here, 4K over commissioned Lt's and young Capts, 11FX (Pilots) are like 1160 approx over filled, yada, yada, yada. Pilots don't need to worry though since they've put so much money into us and all that stuff.However, due to this force shaping, is palace chasing a more viable option for now guys only 20 months into their 10ADSC? Due you think AFPC is more prone to let us go? Is this something I should pre-emptivly attack by "asking the questions" or just ride it out and see what happens? I'm in a little different situation than most probably are as well. I'm an A-10 TFAPer (you know, the thing were I get…

Seen a similar posting elsewhere, has anyone heard of any problems out in Diego Garcia since the quakes etc in the last few days?

Out of curiousity.... Anybody know of anyone who switched from a reserve pilot slot to AD while in UPT (phase II)? Is it possible? Guppyguy

https://www.herald-review.com/articles/2006...ews/1018165.txt DECATUR - Mike Copsy thought an airplane was flying awfully low about midday Monday. Play Video The motorist, who lives in rural Charleston, looked to see if the plane landed safely at Decatur Airport, and he saw smoke. Firetrucks soon arrived three-tenths of a mile from the end of the runway to knock down a blaze. "The engines (of the plane) were still going when they were hosing it down," he said. Two crew members walked away from a crash of a small military trainer jet, said airport director Gene Marcinkowski. One person suffered a broken ankle, and the other was uninjured, Marcinkowski…

I am a recent CSO grad and am starting the pipeline for the HC-130, I am going to the 71st Rescue Squadron at Moody. I have read through all the HC/MC threads I can find but would like to get more current info, plus any 71RQS specific info I can. Any helpful advice, info on what current deployments/deployment schedule is like, info about what type of stuff HC's are currently doing when deployed would be great! My RNLT Date is 28 Jun 2013 for moody, I start Little Rock next month, and do not yet have dates for SERE and Kirtland. so any tips for the pipeline would also be appreciated. current Moody info would also be appreciated. Everything I find is from when it wa…

Anyone remember the names of Afghan students who have graduated UPT in the U.S. I think most of them were sent to Columbus, but with continuity over here (none), it's hard to tell. Working on yet another pet project and this would make things much easier. Please PM me names if you remember them, and do not post them to the public forum. .Mil addy available upon request.
