Leadership at the 'Deid
Can't enter the room of the opposite gender. No worries if you want to go and bang a dude in his room though. Pretty sure it's a GO1B thing, not base specific.

SOS/ACSC information
Icarus and flickerball. Our flight had last pick on field day and we got stuck with "run around the base for 2 hours"!

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Aug - Oct must have been a slow coupla months for you... :)

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Someone just needs to take one for the team: step out in traffic with dual reflective belts and put this madness to rest once and for all. If this man should fall, who will lift the flag and carry on?

FAA OKs iPad for Pilots’ Charts
Isnt' Jepp simply a publisher? In other words, don't they just take the NGA plate and apply its own formatting? In that case, wouldn't the government be paying a contractor to give it something the government already had? Actually, that sounds genius!

Operating IMC in a MOA
I blame AFI 11-202V3 para 8.1. My community has little justification for VFR training outside the local pattern. Other communities have more of a need for VFR training and are more proficient with the rules.

Boom should have checked the boom stowed before landing with it in trail...

RRF metrics / "retain" vs "definetly retain"?
Maybe they think FGOs are safer than CGOs in general? I got handed my RFF from a dude in the mobility shop as I stepped off the redeployer...no Wg/CC explanation of anything.

RRF metrics / "retain" vs "definetly retain"?
When are the results released?

Masters information (MBA/GRE)
If you can begin the day you pin on Capt then that may be worth doing, but if you try stretching it out to Maj (S) to get ACSC credit you won't be finished before your board meets (obviously). Isn't this a giant catch-22? You need the masters to get the DP on the PRF, but you can only get ACSC credit if you complete the course while a Maj (S)?

Current Ops Tempo Question
Touche. If by Grand Forks you mean McConnell (no more tankers at GF). I hadn't heard about USAFE giving up their tankers. You sure they simply haven't been tasked by TACC to fight the war from France?

Current Ops Tempo Question
KC-135s at Mildenhall is the best kept tanker secret.

Promotion and PRF Information
EQs can make it to OPRs and PRFs. At least the Ops guy on the board will know what the heck it means.

AFI 36-2903 and dress/uniform regs and issues
That's probably an authorized combination, like combat boots in PT gear at the Deid.

ADP (Airman Development Plan)
i usually just update around the time that my OPR is due. I'm usually in the CC's office for feedback around that time anyway, so it's a good time to knock both out.

Nice. Let me know how that goes for you.

Found your problem right there...

Thanks!

Foreign Exchange Flying Tours
AMS lists 11M positions at RAAF Amberley (A330) and Ottawa City (A330). I've been trying to figure out what the 11M exchange is in Zaragoza, Spain.

Very well said.

Military retirement under attack
The irony is, for me, that since I've decided to separate when my UPT commitment it up, I'd actually benefit from a change and lack of grandfathering clause.

Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
Surely you jest...

?s on ADSC (Active Duty Service Commitment)
You could always just check the "No" box and see what happens. Seriously though, I'm genuinely interested in this. If they hand me orders with a 2 year ADSC and I only have 18 months on my UPT commitment, can't I just check "No Thanks" and set a separation date of 18 months in the future?

Just be careful where you drink your water during Ramadan.
