What's wrong with the Air Force?
A gem in my email: "A change to the join spouse assignment policy has been approved allowing mil-to-mil couples to serve together at Osan AB, Korea, effective 31 March 2018. This program has been approved for 36-monhts and implementation status will be reviewed in March 2020. Because of limiting factors with MilPDS, follow-on policy implications and changing join spouse intent codes in the system, implementation will be by exception until the system is updated for normal operations." Cool...if mil-mil couples wanted to get their short tours done at the same time...and the same location...sounds like a good deal. "This change in policy is only for the military couples; dependents are still not authorized to accompany the Airmen to Osan. Each Airman will be required to live in separate unaccompanied quarters; however, they will receive short tour credit and still be eligible for follow-on consideration." Aaaaaand that's where the AF goes and fucks it six ways from Tuesday.

IPZ first look at 16.5 years assuming normal O-4 pin on.

1,000 Retired Pilots Can Be Recalled to Active Duty
They used to. The actual exec billet at all the CC levels was a different AFSC. But someone still thought the CC’s at all levels needed a “flying exec” to make OPRs for flyers great.

1,000 Retired Pilots Can Be Recalled to Active Duty
A GOFO doing this would fail miserably. Get a handful of crusty Iron Majors and give them free-reign from the CSAF direct to evaluate the various jobs that “need” to be filled.

1,000 Retired Pilots Can Be Recalled to Active Duty
I know a bunch of people at HAF who genuinely care and are trying to successfully implement Fingers’ reg reduction/rescinsion/simplifying. It’s not going to be easy given the timeline and pervasive AF mentality of more refs from on top...but it is being worked.

Leadership at the 'Deid
Yup. And the guys who have depth in their airframe as well as some good breadth get passed over. Shitshow.

J O was a good dude as a Capt. Don't know anything since he left the KC-10 in 2005.

That shitshow should be three separate squadrons.

IRC (Instrument Refresher Course) Info
Once your HARM fixed the tables for your base... You will be due at the end of the 17th month after you took it last. Same as a check ride cycle. Pro tip: take it during your check ride window to keep it aligned.

At least you're learning early the AF doesn't give a fuck about join spouse.

You should be able to jump from the E-8 to UPT or the E-3 next assignment. She should be able to go to any Mx unit.

U-2 Dragonlady info
Didn’t say Korea was bad. It was just a free trip there. Or maybe Cyprus. Or that other sunny place. I’ve been to all three and none of them are really bad.

AFPC functionals and leadership
MAF and CAF are getting several more functional billets and filling then because the 4-stars want them engaging with us peons. Like answering the phone and whatnot. I commend the existing MAF functionality who set up their Facebook group. Transparent is better.

They don’t give a shit about your credit score. They care if you are a bribery risk.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
There are people who think that...but not the people who write the 202/217. Speaking of which...new 217V1 “soon.” God help us all!

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Different communities and MAJCOMs have different rules/interpretations. If we show to the jet, AMCC, squadron, etc. then my crew has started the FDP. Brief time doesn’t start our clock in AMC; show time (at the aforementioned locations) does. If I’m awake and check the weather or SMS from my hotel room, then I’m not breaking crew rest by 202V3 2.1.2. If I get on the bus, I am still in the 12 hours of crew rest set aside for transportation, meals, etc. This is why we have MAJCOM and Wing supplements...MAJCOMs have operational authority.
