E vs O?

Meh. The salt stings.

Your commander recommends release and the board retains you and you waste a bunch of time and have to dust off the service dress. Then they find a sweet 365 for you. That is, of course, assuming "they" are aware of the pilot shortage.

If you go with the enclosure, look into an automated solar heater. You'll be surprised how much it slows the spring warm up ....

Adding water doesn't decrease the salt. It's the salt water aquarium conundrum.

Adair t-38s do lots of stuff, all of which builds time and experience for the younguns. Most of it is being a radar reflector. Some of it is awesome. The squadron tries to work most of the snapishness out before the bcourse .... with varying success. So remember you're a new guy in a "fighter" squadron and not particularly special. Snacko and cleaning floors shouldn't feel beneath your talents (hint, you don't have any yet). You should get a raptor follow on. Unless you're a retard. Or afpc changes their mind. Or afpc forgets to build slots in the raptor training pipeline for you. But so far, it's been working out pretty well. Langley or Tyndall?

The Adair t-38s aren't aggressors. It's a good gig for a raptor baby, but it's not aggressors. (Expectation management)

No but that doesn't really exist (like it used to be) on ad either. And the airlines pay you enough to throw your own strippers and beer naming party if you feel like it. Every weekend if you're really feeling froggy.

But then again....I'm an optimist ....

The shiny pennies are still getting chosen at the majors board. They just aren't releasing the results to you anymore. There's still a list. Believe it.

While laying blame for the entire crisis, please keep in mind that not all pilots that fly fighters are fighter pilots. And most of those clowns get promoted on up.

Can someone post a quick primer on what various levels of va disability ratings do for home loans? I'm lazy ....

Initially it's a negotiation with the carrier ... so shoot for the moon. Once they've made/paid their final offer, you can follow up with base legal (the old way) for anything you don't think was fully covered.

Fuck.

Those fuel low lights just tell you when to make it a full stop.

The student night landing, whilst you're in the trunk, is especially fun. Especially when there's no flare whatsoever. Cant count the number of times I looked over and expected to see the struts poking up through the wings.

One of the few upsides .... the DPE is great and is also a United Captain and will write you a pretty damn good recommendation.

Yes This

I get that if the meeting didn't go as well as the bobs had hoped it would be mildly embarrassing. If it went as badly as rumor suggests it would be really embarrassing. But that's no reason to bury the truth. Evidently I can ask Ed Bastion anything. Let's see what he has to say.....

So you're saying if I hadn't posted a dissenting narrative, I still would have been removed? Doubtful.

And I've been kicked off the page. There will be no dissent !

Hahahahahhahaha. The clowns are gonna reap what they've sewn. It's gonna be a great time to be a free agent!

They were manned

They may graduate to shooting missiles at manned aircraft someday ....
