My prf for lt col ITZ, that I had zero input on, had a strong push for ACSC on the final line. It was also identical to 2 other prf's from dudes in my squadron
Strong, inspiring attention to detail and a shining example of personal leadership from all involved.

1. Find a Pub that's older than the US and have a pint ... rinse, repeat.
2. Eagle pub in Cambridge
3. Swing by the RAF club (near buckingham) .... Hotel/Oclub. Lots of nice stuff on the walls, decent bar in the basement, good breakfast, and lots of OLD RAF dudes shuffling about with good stories.
4. Walk all over central london.

Might as well get it in .357. She can still carry .38 to start, but it's "upgrade able" bullet-wise in the future for free

Who wants in on the "which base will have the first late night gym rape allegations" pool?
Maybe we could have roving SARC patrols late at night on base!

It's as corrosive as soap bubbles and water.

Get holloman housing to write you a receipt. I've done it with daily and monthly receipts, as well as a lease and receipts for payments.
Then go read the JFTR. It's black and white and in your favor.
When you read the JFTR, you'll find you can also be reimbursed for a cleaning lady, phone service, cable tv, etc. so dig up those receipts as well.
Add as many legal, authorized expenses as you can until you get to $53 a day, then go talk to the first officer you can find at finance with JFTR in hand.
Did I mention you should read the JFTR?

Nice work there Murray.

if you are greater than 12 months ... or 3 day opt and separate.
Which would mean separating prior to 20.

So here's my understanding of things ... And someone with experience please chime in if there's more to add!
Past 18 you cannot be kicked out without cause. You cannot be RIF'd, seperated for end-strength numbers, etc.
HOWEVER, you can quit ... Either on purpose or unknowingly.
Based on the chart of doom from the AFI, if you 3-day opt a 365 you have to set a seperation date that is, at most, 12-months in the future.
So if you 3-day opt a 365 at the 18 year point (assuming you have the retainability, TOS wickets, etc to be selected for a 365 in the first place) you are, in effect, unknowingly volunteering to quit at 19 years.
If anyone has any actual experience in this situation, please chime in.

What kind of wind restrictions/taxi limits do you guys have anyway?
Taint none.
But it's a good idea to tie them down in windy spots like Vegas and, evidently, Vermont.

Are all the -38s updated with the new seats?
Tyndall has old seats.
And a/b models, steam gauges, original motors, etc.
It's a t38 from the good old days like your grandfather flew.

I don't remember what year it was but the AF got rid of reserve commissions altogether and now all AD officers are regular. My commissioning papers state "reserve" because I was ROTC-- but now, no officer on AD (not sure, but probably except for guard reserve dudes on AD orders) is a reserve officer.
As far as sanctuary goes, I would say the title 10 just hasn't been updated to reflect the fact AF AD officers don't hold reserve commissions anymore. I think the key text of title 10 is that it states, "An officer who is retained in an active status under subsection (a) or (b) is an additional number to those otherwise authorized" We've all learned about congressional end strength the past few years........ which is why I think that text is key - regardless of end strength, an officer in this situation cannot be booted because of end strength.
Subsection (a) and (b) basically say that the officer cannot be taken off of active duty without his consent after 18 yrs until he hits 20 yrs (letting him retire)
Obviously, it's a legal document and maybe there's some lawyers lurking that can decipher all of the "fine print". Overall, however, I think it is pretty clear that as long as an officer hits 18 years and doesn't F up, that officer gets to retire regardless of AF "force shaping" or whatever is going on at the time.
Doubtful. You would have to choose between retiring and 7-day opting in that case. Edit: by deciding to retire you'd have to do the 365 in this scenario.
By the 3-day option rules in the nightmare separations/assignments AFI, if you 3-day opt a 365 you have to set a date of separation that is at most 7-12 months in the future, depending on how far along you are.

I started here looking at Title 10, paragraph 12646: Commissioned officers: retention of after completing 18 or more, but less than 20, years of service.
Cheers,
Cap-10
All good stuff, but it extensively mentions "reserve commissioned" officers. I was originally a reserve commission officer, but I'm 99.69% sure it became a regular commission when I pinned on major (or maybe captain).
Any standard 1 each active duty line officers have recent experience or knowledge with the sanctuary gig?
-
Gents--
Approaching a decision in a few short years and wanted to get the correct answers without derailing other threads.
I've looked through the separations AFI, and the best I can make of that nightmare of tables and notes is 12 months max time from telling big blue no on an assignment or TDY.
I keep hearing about sanctuary at 18 yrs. how does it work? What is the reference/source document? (since if it becomes an issue I will undoubtedly have to learn how to do a personnelist's job in intimate detail)

So the bottom line is avoid ECARs?

Exactly how is 69 sexist? Really? If done right, 69 is a great time between two consenting adults. Please define sexist and tell me how the hell you categorize 69 with that? Perhaps you're just upset because you really lack insight about what i speak of; maybe you were deprived and picked on just a little too much. It's too bad for you. I wish booger-eaters had got more action so that we could focus on problem solving instead of blaming a number for sexual crimes. The $hit that gets you guys upset is truly mind boggling.
No more feeding for you.
It's classic knee-jerk over compensation.
Rather than focus on the few bad apples, or illegal sexual assault, or even just inappropriate sexual conduct the management (as demonstrated by recent posts) has WAY overshot and wants to crush anything that is even vaguely related to sexuality at all.
Welcome to institutional compulsory über-prudishness everyone. Next few years ought to be awesome.

Not in my repertoire, just examples of inappropriate songs: The engineer's dream, bridge at midnight, S&M Man, my Bonnie, Rawhide, South Atlantic Hornpipe, the gang bang song, the old department store, and why was she born a bitch are a few. Popular at rugby games, hash runs and frat parties. Should not be sung at work or in uniform. Should not be in squadron songbooks. Should not be defended as tradition and key to war fighting ethos.
Am I correct in assuming that you would consider Friday night in the squadron bar "at work"?

One nugget that came out of the Tsgt smith lawsuit (I read it, I have that sort of time), is "amazing horse" on YouTube.
Worth the bandwidth.
You're welcome.
