KC-46A Info
Last I knew they were going TDY back to their airplane/base every once in a while to rehack things/keep gate months going.

F-16 Students skip Phase III
While I was there 100% of PQ graduates went to UPT. My senior year, the AF said “no more UPT spots than given to ROTC. Because fairness.” So there were people in my class who were qualified but didn’t get to go. It only got worse from there. And yes, all NQ cadets graduated having completed Nav school while a cadet a long time ago.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
You have a sauna at your deployed location?

MARSRADIO (ex - MARS Phone Patch Net)
If you really want to talk to someone on the HFGCS, you need to use ALE. Unless your HF set doesn’t have ALE. Then you’re proper ed.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
I have no reason to be an optimist...but I’m guessing that is the “standard” rate and the AF messaging got screwed up yet again and they didn’t release targeted values yet. If they’re only going the 2.5x route they’re in for a world of hurt.

Electronic flight bags could boost operational safety, effectiveness
Because it is Public Law (ADS-B Out). Because the FAA continues to hold fast on “no military exemptions.” Because of denial to operate in US Class A, B, and C airspace. The list goes on. Military aircraft that were not properly equipped for airspace they were filed/flying through have already been diverted/rerouted. It will only get worse.

Electronic flight bags could boost operational safety, effectiveness
Not likely unless it has Mode 5 Level 2B. In a nutshell Mode 5 is the replacement for Mode 4 since NSA depreciated it and no longer will provide codes for it soon. But it is possible someone actually ordered something with M5L2-B.

It’s ok. They won’t be able to fly 1 Jan 2020 anyway...

11-217: should it stay or go?
I once used “unable, the FMS is loaded from a floppy drive and doesn’t have that point.”

Staff Jobs @ Pentagon w/ Attached Flying
Or the C-21 unit at ADW.

Staff Jobs @ Pentagon w/ Attached Flying
What CH said. The only flying “HAF” jobs are at AFFSA now that they’re allowed to go TDY and still fly with their units.

Updated this year and signed...stuck in publishing. But probably already out of date anyway.

11-217: should it stay or go?
CSAF / SecAF say reduce/resize regs... Informal poll: Should 11-217 stay or go? Should it just be 11-202 and the AIM (Navy style)? Any and all thoughts appreciated.

But TV shows tell me that they can get any fingerprint data from the DoD so that can’t be true!

Assume every last one of those will wind up filling staff roles. We will see.
