?s on logging flight time
The LogTen Pro site says the desktop version is free till 40 hours, then costs $149. The iOS apps cost $29 plus an annual subscription of $49/year. Am I missing something?

Motorcycle Riders Thread
My wing is collecting copies of drivers licenses and proof of insurance in addition to the MSF card, hazardous activities worksheet, and commander's brief for all riders. Is this normal in most wings?

This is good. MOAA was pretty active on this point after Congress tried to pull this one over on us.

Max Use or Lose Leave
Emails making the rounds from our finance people say to be below 60 by September 2015.

Max Use or Lose Leave
Any chance the 2015 NDAA goes back to 75 days of carry over or did that ship sail with the 2013 NDAA? Looks like I'll need to burn over 50 this year to use all my current use/lose and get my balance down below 60 by September 30, 2015.

Study: Nuclear Force Feeling 'Burnout' from Work
What's a debrief? Seriously though, I don't really have any idea what happened, and think that people of all ranks should treat everyone with basic dignity.

Electronic flight bags could boost operational safety, effectiveness
You can download the NGA Aero App for free from the NGA NIPR ePub website. Not really any more functional than your paper FLIP, but everything is there digitally which (AP, GP, FIH, approaches, etc) if you want it all in one place.

Why? You don't promote against the peers in your career field.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
No, I said that only other Captains care about DG at SOS. Maybe I should qualify it by saying that nobody in my community ever cared about your SOS DG, or your ROTC DG, or your USAFA Top 10%, or your UPT DG. Nobody. Ever. Except on your PRF...where it belongs.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
You know who cares about SOS DGs? Other Captains at SOS. And maybe some Lts hoping to someday go to SOS. I have never once heard anyone above O-3 talk about SOS DGs. Will it make it to the PRF? Yep. That's pretty much it.- Iraq in state of emergency - Mosul overrun by militants; government flees;
NSA confirms. Hacking is one thing, and there is no defense except to opt out of social media entirely ... flash mobbing a public faceplace is another thing.- Iraq in state of emergency - Mosul overrun by militants; government flees;
Especially if your profile is public and you list your home address.- Tablets and Functionality
- Olmstead and LEAP programs
I'll add on...I finished an immersion to Uruguay this summer where I attended classes for 6 hours a day 5 days a week. I've been in online LEAP classes since May twice a week for an hour each. My DLPT went from 2+/3 to 3/3 and passed the OPI with a 2. LEAP requires you to take the OPI after an immersion TDY. 3/3 in Spanish with the SEI gets me $275 a month.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
I found it under the "ARP Option Definitions" on the ARP site in myPers. I'd post the link but my work computer blocks BODN, so here is the content: Code B: - 20 years aviation service: initial eligible fighter pilot (11F) - 20 years aviation service with 50% up front: initial eligible fighter pilot (11F) Code C: - 5 years: initial eligible pilot - 5 years with 50% up front: initial eligible fighter pilot (11F) and pilots also qualified to fly RPAs (11U) - 5 years: initial eligible weapons system operators (12F) only Hopefully that saves someone the 15 minutes it took for me to find it.- Iraq in state of emergency - Mosul overrun by militants; government flees;
I think most people agree that WMD use on his own people was that point. A "red line" if you will.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Because freedom to walk away from an assignment or deployment you don't want is worth $18k a year after taxes.- More SARC briefings soon.
Who cares? He raped a woman.- Equating military service with Heroism.
I also 100% agree. With no skin on the line Americans won't hold their politicians to account. This is why there's such an outcry if someone mentions cutting social security or Medicaid. But only the die hard liberals spoke up against Iraq in 2003. I'm for mandatory service, but the memory of Vietnam has soured the public against it forever unfortunately. - What's wrong with the Air Force?
