Do you mean 'decimated?'

As far as I have heard "strategic pause" is still in effect.

So, how does that set of gambling machines at Ramstein's KMCC keep operating if gambling is illegal on base?

If the bill ever gets to the floor of Congress, one is out there to allow members to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for up to five years after separating.

Speaking from large aircraft receiver (but not in a 135) experience, yes, it is the same sort of motion to stop roll PIO and ease DR.

Good luck, and thanks for your service! Although it does make me sad to see the AF meat grinder push people to make decisions like this.

Alive and well in AMC:

By the way...some pretty awesome women flaunting their mustaches in Gen Welsh's twitter feed. Looks like they took the "boys' club" fun and ran with it. BZ ladies.

My favorite part: she loved Mustache March and ridiculing the boys until the CSAF said to ridicule the boys. FYI, Ms JAG, calling the men who serve "boys" is the same level of douchebaggery as calling the women who serve "girls."

He responds to Twitter as well.

Reminds me of a briefing several years ago by some 2-star at AMC: he asked for questions and after some silence, a flight engineer stood up and asked "Sir, why do we fly around empty (or with only a few pallets) on so many cargo missions?" The answer: "We don't." The engineer then said, "Sir, I have all my paperwork for the last year of missions and I'd be happy to show you all the missions where we had active legs without cargo." "Next question, please." I think that was the same briefing as the infamous "those of us on O&M don't have the money to buy TP to wipe our own asses but the TWCF squadrons have new computers, uniforms, boots, etc." I don't think I ever applauded a question that hard before or after.

No, but it is called something like "FY14 Force Management Programs," so I'd say they didn't need to explicitly state it (but they should have stated that any VSP would have to meet LADSC waiver criteria).

At least you still don't look 12!

Tried to quote the post that disappeared...but my money is on the insulating layers between CSAF and the masses that are the roadblocks right now.

I do work in the Operators Group.

Who needs any A-10s anyway...

They were supposed to have already replaced the BCUs two years ago, but funding got cut, IIRC.

Question: why did it take a RIF [currently on hold] to require SR strats from #1 to #last? Instead, I have to guess if my push line is good, bad, or if my rather is just an idiot and doesn't know how to strat/push people. I know [with decent confidence] that I fall somewhere between the top 20% and bottom 20%...but I don't know fuckall beyond that broad range...I'd love to know where I really stand WRT my peers.

You can get an iPad CAC sled or an iPhone dongle. https://www.thursby.com/products/pkard-reader I said "CAC sled."

You do know that the current "expectation" is that if you haven't completed it within a year of O-4 pin-on, you are "sending a message to the board," right? It still makes perfect sense even with only a few candidates going...but it does require "expectation management" on the part of SR/board members. The bottom line is to be promoted or selected for school on merit, not box checking.

I think the bold part is the key. You will know by the time your IPZ board rolls around if you've attended IDE/SDE. So, don't do it in correspondence until after you've had your looks.

I trust Boomer. It is most other senior raters/leaders whom I do not trust.
