It's like they combined the AF's knack to come up with shitty uniforms and new tradition with Nike U's hideous jerseys. Personally I think they should have scrapped the stealth MDS's and gone with CBT's. B-2 Spirit and F-22 Raptor might be scary, but if you see "cultural competency", "CBRN" and "SABC" coming at you'll really be terrified!

Two Dogs....KIO.....don't talk to the media or write a book....technique only.....holy crap I'm ashamed and was a light grey guy....someone needs to call an IP meeting and debrief this crap or you'll wind up with more "No Easy Days"! PS...nothing from a weasel or air to air scenario in the last 22 years merits a book......on the other hand CAS and PR have at it!

This addresses individual non-selection, not squadron wide buffoonery: Contact the promotion board section at AFPC and get a copy of your record 'As Met' - it's what the board saw. Schedule a 'Non-Select Counseling' appointment and invite your CC to it. Someone from AFPC will go over your record with you (via telephone) and look for errors and offer clues to your non-selection. If there are any errors or something is missing they will tell you how to fix it (may require an appeal to the Board for Corrections of Military Records) and you'll be able to have your record go before a Special Selection Board. If you get picked up from that board it will be the same as if you were promoted from the original board. If not, no harm done. If you don't have cause for the SSB route they will provide advice for strengthening your record for your APZ board. Look around the Promotion section of the MyPers website for phone numbers and more info. Best of luck.

Stop liking your own posts. Know your audience...no one cares if your dick is longer than anyone else's WRT deploying. You are not helping your states cause to get ops people to "stop hating on support." And I think I found the problem with the AF Crimes' data: That's not going to be very friendly to the typical aircrew deployment cycle. Multiple shorter deployments (60-120 days at a go) per year. My community until very recently did 75-on, 75-off so everyone got multiple trips per year but it seems like the way that data is crunched, they'd show up once with 75 days as the "average deployment length" which ends up being meaningless.

It's sorta douchey to like your own post. Technique Only

Enough with the hate, since we both deploy quite often, I'll see you around! Cheers! http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/03/air-force-ground-based-airmen-2011-most-deployed-031712w/ Also high on the list of the longest deployed are airmen who focus on capabilities such as finance, contracting and acquisition. The officers with the longest deployments were financial management airmen, who deployed for an average of 263 days in 2011, showing that those who wage war behind a desk are just as valuable as those who can drop a deep penetrator on a hardened underground bunker

I'm a girl, no d**k measuring, and tell my deployed finance officers that bull. We're 6 months to a year minimum. They'll send you a personal email from their locations. Try Air Force times as a statistical resource has a super great article on the subject (we ARE #1 deployed). But you're right gray beard, this forum is definitely used to continue a crazy hate on hate against your support officers and enlisted. With that said, I'll take my briefcase and leave (wink). Small Air Force, I'm sure I'll see you around before I retire, you definitely know my name. Cheers!

No worries. It just cracks me up how guys get so bent out of shape over pointless shit, this 707/135 crap being the latest example.

I'm glad I could kick this hornet's nest.

PRFs for the Capt board are blank for DPs. Ps and DNPs get 5 lines. If someone got a blank PRF that was a P, they got f'ed.

The .223 was PMC Bronze (brass) from Cabella's...it was $5.99 for a box of 20 and free shipping--yeah, I bought quite a bit. I think their current deal is $6.50 a box and I don't think they have the free shipping anymore either. As for .45, I'd check out Buds Police Supply...I think they have a decent deal on .45 brass. Also, sgammo.com is often pretty good, and that's where I bought the .40 this time. I go to slickguns.net a couple times a day (click on ammo) and that's where I find a lot of the good sales. Good luck!

I have a Col that I work with that sat the board and confirms the pass-overs for those without OPRs to include aircrew, or those who didn't make it through aircrew training and reclassed into something else. Couldn't imagine getting medically DQ'd from UPT, sitting casual, going intel, waiting on clearances/training and then not getting promoted. Additionally.. those that got passed over at the last board completed for APZ consideration and knocked some of your/my peers out for Capt this time as well. I've yet to hear anyone O6 and above sing about the virtues of this selection process. If I had to do another year as a Lt I'd punch.

I would pay good $ to watch that Captain walk down Disney Drive at BAF and render that perfect, crisp salute 69 times, each way, on his way to the BX and back. Then I'd love to debrief his salutes at the end of that journey that were too 'dead fish'.
