  1. don't have enough real estate for that. Plus I'm sure having two transponders would prevent the PJs from being able to carry 3 grenade launchers.

  2. I'm happy to fly over their place in Mighty Herk and take a piss to form some of my own "Chem Trails." Out

  4. The whole calculus changes when the retirement system goes to a 401k style with matching. I wouldn't be thrilled with the longer commitment, but no one would be stuck since they're so close to 20 by the time their UPT commitment is up.

  5. There is no hard limit for events- when you hit 48 UTAs the summary page shows a red number and you get a one-time pop-up. Coming in the next version- the ability to log double AFTPs instead of having to log period 1 then go back and log period 2. Spydr

  7. Haven't been on here in some time but glad I checked back in. I am going to the allergy clinic tomorrow to have an allergy test conducted due to a reaction to a fire ant bite. I didn't have a full anaphylactic reaction but broke out in hives and had numbness in my face. I have been carrying the epipens since August and was told by the allergist that if I am found to be allergic to fire ants and start the Immunotherapy (IT) that my med records will meet a RILO, Records in Lieu Of which he explained as an internal review. He first mentioned MEB and I began to sweat so he clarified the process but I still have my fears. I am an enlisted flier, over 20 and trying to stay in my current unit for at least another 2-3 years. The allergist also said the IT would keep me from any deployments due to the shots which are given monthly for 3-5 years and the possible reaction each time. I will have to do some more reading in the above regs if it turns out I am allergic to something necessitating the IT. Best of luck to you Duck.

  8. I signed a SOU in 1998 when I first got to USAFA that read "Should I graduate USAFA, get selected for UPT, and graduate UPT, I understand that I am committed to a 10-year post-UPT ADSC." That was, in effect, a 16 year contract that I signed when I was 18 years old. It was too much, but I signed it anyway because what else was I going to do? They had me over a barrel. 13 years?! That equates to a 19 year contract! That is outrageous especially since it doesn't fix any systemic problems. For the years 2010-2013, AF was peeing their pants about "record retention!" and in my opinion failed to notice that it was because (in large part) the 10-year ADSC was finally coming home to roost. Thus, AF was kicking people out with wild abandon. But that's what they want. They don't want people to have the freedom to leave. They want to pick and choose who they consider worthy to stay in. So the extended ADSC is not about manning, it's about power: Power to dismiss those they don't want (through RIF, 2x FOS, etc) and power to hold onto those they do want regardless of individuals' desires. This way AFPC doesn't have to plan ahead for anything (except the next RIF or promotion board).
