As a flyer commanding an ops squadron it’s possible but you would have to be a commander as you pinned on O-5. I’ve seen it but it’s rare. Otherwise your bar napkin math checks.

It seems like the answer for most Americans when it comes to all COVID decisions is “my families and mine”.

Got it, and I assumed so which is why I said like F-15F, but it’s not a new airframe, it’s just the next iteration of an old airframe. Hence give it a new letter. Or call it the Eagle II and pretend like you developed it from scratch. Edit to add, I don’t really care, it was just more of an eye roll when I saw it.

Yeah, how is it not just the next letter in the series? Like F-15F?

Correct

I agree. They are just saying all 100% can be promoted instead of saying maximum is x% that can promote on a given board. Wording is a little weird.

Not sure. I had pneumonia for a couple weeks in Feb 2020 while stationed in Asia that was unresponsive to antibiotics, but they wouldn’t test me because I hadn’t been in China.

That was my reaction to the first shot. I had almost no reaction to the second shot except for being tired for a couple days.

Yes. His IPZ was a DNP. Next year up is APZ

He went down voting my old posts again today, all 26 of my down votes are him, lol

Those airports or Sanford if you are trying to save some money. I’ve been a few times but flew in GA so haven’t stayed there. If you can make a friend or know someone, watching the airshow/aircraft flying in and out under the wing of someone’s plane is the best spot. Not sure what covid rules have affected though.

I stand corrected! Maybe I just assumed it seemed like something the Air Force would do when the guidance came down.

By that logic we can’t fly 13 star American flags because kaepernick and Nike say it’s a symbol of extremism and hate. It seems today it doesn’t matter what you intend with your symbol, words, or opinions, only what the person most offended by them thinks you meant. And I’m not advocating flying confederate flags everywhere.

Air Force did the same, but in standard Air Force fashion instead of just banning that flag they banned all flags except American flags and Air Force flags.

It’s refreshing seeing you talk over the last month and you’re actually saying what I’m thinking.

Classy.

I don’t understand why everyone keeps interacting with the troll.

Top 3 guys in my class had 200+ hours and their commercial. Top guy had 200 hours of formation time on top of that in jets. I saw other guys with a thousand hours struggle. the key is to have the hours as a baseline but attack UPT like you haven’t flown before to build military habit patterns. The air sense you already have from hours will show through. If your set in your ways though it will get ugly, and those are the guys you usually hear about. Finally, some guys just can’t think quickly and having 1000 hours won’t fix that and they will struggle.

A year and a half ago 2 of the 6 C130 flying squadrons had commanders that didn’t attend IDE. One of them took over as a major with 4 months left until pinning on Lt Col. Granted still a lower percentage but not unheard of.

Just an update, ASAM no longer falls under the EOS, it reports direct to the Vice. And the AMC rated from the current class all outplaced to Scott, minus a HAF and a 365.

Careful, last time I called him out he went and found my last 18 posts and down voted all of them, lol.

No one is being skipped here but on vaccine days you can show up at the end and if they have leftover shots they’ll give it to you instead of throwing them away. They tend to run out of extras pretty quick.

If you’re a major about to hit the Lt Col board in student status right now, you should have gotten your results from the student MLR this week.

Definitely don’t want anything to do with living on base now if I cant even hang out on the porch by myself without a mask on. I’m also not looking forward to 10-12 hours a day straight in a mask at work.

Just stating a fact. A sizable sample doesn’t mean it’s a good sample. It could be skewed just by the type of people that agree to answer. While everyone here seems to be a stats expert with black and white results, population statistics are actually super grey and hard to get right. Just consider that when looking at the results, that’s all.
