  1. Dude, no one joined the Air Force to make bank. You've apparently got a great deal going, and I'm actually a bit jealous. I've seen more than a few folks who would be flag O's get out, and I've always been astonished at the reasons why. Because not one of them is anything but a bulletproof argument. I honestly believe each of them to be a better man than I. Now, if somewhere deep down you need to justify to everyone else why you are getting out, then I get it. But, for those of us staying in who have no ulterior motive, it serves no purpose. We are willing to stay in because this is where we want to be. 365's are no more fun for us than for you. AFPC is not my bogeyman, even though not once have I gotten a base even on my list of preferences. Airlines pay more. Got it. So does being a decent investment broker. If pay was all we (yourself included) cared about, many, many of us could have been lawyers or surgeons. You're bordering on belittling anyone who chooses to stay til 20, and I think your cynicism is getting the best of you. FWIW, I think the ARP (ACP?) Numbers are skewed because the office has been so slow to process them. I take no interpretation until the data ending on 30 September has been included. ...too much booze for a Sunday night...

  3. Uh I dunno if you were around for Odyssey Dawn/OUP but while it demonstrated a lot of things about NATO one thing it didn't do is demonstrate that NATO can get its act together. Protip: in order to fight an air war, you need bombs. Unfortunately most NATO air forces seem to have missed that memo.

  4. Bonus will not go up next year. It takes a ULB and the requested increase didnt make it past the FY15 omnibus last year. No bait and switch on the early eligible. The Navy already does this and allows folks to be paid on time and not wait until the next program rolls out...which can't happen until the NDAA is finalized. Didnt realize their was that much distrust in the system so next year rated policy will try to include policy that lets only early eligible that have already signed renegotiate a contract if the bonus goes up.

  5. Gotta love how our conscious works in the West: Kill almost 100,000 of your citizens using conventional means? No problem. Gas 1,000? You've got to go.

  6. Because when I think "which of the three commissioning sources needs the most attention regarding SAPR," the clear answer is ROTC and not the place where athletes have raped women for years with impunity.

  8. No thanks. With that number on the back, the watch will always be at least minute behind the hack and will decide to stop functioning when the weather is bad. You can have it, bud.

  9. Geez, there are some sensitive folks. How about this: people tend to make the best decisions for themselves and their families based on the available information. It really is that simple. You really don't need to justify your decision by ridiculing someone else.

  10. LOL at the handful of people to take the FY15 bonus a year early. There's a sucker born every minute.
