SOS/ACSC information
Understood. My question was if IDE correspondence completion is still a discriminator for candidates trying to get picked up for in-res.

SOS/ACSC information
Is IDE correspondence completion masked from the IDE selection board now, or is it still a practice bleeding requirement?

Harrison Ford Successfully Lands Malfunctioning Aircraft
I hope he shouted fore! on the way in. Could you imagine, out for a round of golf, when a plane crashes on your fairway and out jumps Indiana Fuckin' Jones?

Can anyone make a case for Dover instead of Travis?
1. Dover = sorta close to a lot of places that don't actually suck. (Not really that great of a thing) 2. California property taxes = actually cheaper than Texas property taxes. 3. How much do the politics actually effect your daily life (as a temporary resident), compared to the benefits to your daily life by enjoying the climate, culture and topography? 4. Basically, like with anything else, you get what you pay for. California costs more because you get more. Unless guns are your thing. YMMV

Join the AF and become a PJ?
Before he calls anyone, tell him to spend some time researching www.specialtactics.com. Then he can be reasonably well informed before asking stupid questions.

Water Survival information
True story. FY 15 is the end of the era for PNS parachute water survival. The current Det CC is a CRO and fought the good fight for retaining the training, but apparently the powers that be decided it was no longer cost effective, given the program's mishap rate vs credited saves. It truly is a shame...

Is anyone currently using the Foreflight Military Flight Bag software? I have the Foreflight basic subscription on my IPad mini and occasionally strap it to my knee for a bit more SA and I like it, but it would be nice to have the worldwide Flip accessible on Foreflight. I thought they used to give this option at no additional charge, but now there website shows $299 for an annual subscription to the MFB. That's steep considering my current subscription is $75.

Gen Welsh - USAF Chief of Staff
So, your plan was to make the AF suck soooo bad, that when the time comes to give dudes the opportunity to voluntarily separate, they jump like rats from a sinking ship? Bravo… well done, sir. And BTW, when you say things like "we can get rid of a few more underperformers without extreme stress on the system," you are broadcasting your unbelievably low SA and making your entire A1 community look like a bunch of clueless jackasses. If you had a clue, you'd realize that the last rounds of cuts took already stressed communities to the brink, and another round conducted like the last one will take some communities beyond dangerously low experience levels. And I'm talking real-world, no-shit danger, not some yellow/red slide bubbles, but cockpits manned by inexperienced young bucks that are gonna get somebody killed type of danger.

Promotion and PRF Information
My squad had a dude get picked up APZ with a P. Great dude and definitely deserving, but I didn't think that was even possible. Perhaps looking at the earliest ramifications of the VSP flood gates?

Langley info
Newport News has great schools. Just ask Michael and Marcus Vick and Allen Iverson. Esteemed grads of the Newport News school system. There's also a pretty sweet dog-fighting club you can join, if you're into that sort of thing.

Jordanian F-16 down over Syria - Pilot captured by ISIS
Not knocking your opinion…to each his own and all…but if it were me, I'd want that video in every American's 5,6,7,10, & 11 o'clock newscast. Let it be of use, get people fired up to pressure the talking suits to squash these savages. And by squash, I mean kill, maim, deface, torture, mutilate, whatever else is required to get them to realize that if you fuck with the bull, you get the horns. Mooing at them obviously doesn't work. You can't win the hearts and minds of the heartless and mindless, so it's time to take the gloves off and lay down some hate.

Military Discounts
Currently sitting at DFW on a 4 hour layover. Not too bad considering the free food, drinks, and even a 15 minute massage at the Centurion lounge. All courtesy of this free AMEX Platinum card. Props to this thread for enlightening me!
