There are times where I think that there's no way that our country would find itself back in a place where brothers are killing brothers on a battle field. But then I read threads here and am reminded that there are absolutely people here who wouldn't hesitate to shoot me dead if we ever get into a shooting war against ourselves.

My MAJCOM A3 has no idea who I am. I assumed you were at the squadron level.

That’s your DO’s fault. If Delta had offered me a CJO two years ago I never would have applied anywhere else. That’s a lot of time and effort saved wasted on applying everywhere.

No, it’s better than that. The ADSCs won’t run concurrently.

Increased amount. Early take option. Additional ADSC for assignment of preference. More contract options. Gen Miller briefed it in a small group I was a part of a couple weeks ago. Those were the interesting parts I remember

The weird thing is, from what I see, is that studs aren't putting it at the top. I see way more kids putting AFSOC stuff up there.

Interesting changes are coming for the AvB, some of which will be worthwhile and others not. BL: if you like your job when the bonus comes around it's a tough decision. It just seems that so many don't like the job they're in at that point.

Depends on your base

Seems like the T-6 2.5 syllabus has stabilized. FWIW Gen Miller mentioned the other day that they've managed to save some T-1s beyond 2026. XPW for T-1s will live on in some form, but your standard issue UPT stud will probably get the Redbird treatment before he/she goes to Altus.

Hobbyist RC planes and UASs larger than a half pound and such are going to require RemoteID starting in 2023 which seems to be a lot like ADS-B-out. Seems like weather balloons and the like should have the same requirement. https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id

The T-38 track doesn’t change. T-1 will eventually be sim only.

Pretty sure Laughlin will be the first to lose T-1s with their legacy cockpits. But who really knows.

And it's spectacular.

Thanks Jon. Working with you right now on a possible move to Utah. Got to say, Jon is where you want to go if you’re an Air Force to Airline guy for sure! Great comms and he knows the ins and outs of airline life as a current airline pilot himself.

Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

I get it. You like guns and have a phd level knowledge of them. Sorry for having an opinion.

But you ignored my statement about supporting the Switzerland model of gun ownership. I have no problem with gun ownership. But in America we have no incentive to make it safe.

Isn't it Texas where people get shot for trespassing?

I've watched some videos about gun ownership in Switzerland. I think the U.S. could really learn a lot from them. Of course a lot of that is based in mandatory military service for everyone, but gun ownership is seen as a tremendous responsibility. Lots of people are simply reckless with firearms.

There hasn't been one event that has changed my mind. I've slowly changed perspectives over the past decade.

I come from a gun family, though we were just casual target shooters with dad. Sandy Hook made me change a lot of what I think about the availability of guns generally. I find myself more in line with the left on guns now. But I recognize guns are the law of the land and I don’t have the votes to change it.

I’ll agree with you here. He definitely pulled the pin and dropped the grenade.

Doesn’t everyone here want to do the same thing? Except we call it airlines?

A violent mob in the capitol will do that to ya

I’ve changed my view on the 2A in n the last decade too. Nothing wrong with changing opinions.
