Good thing Secretary Chuck "get-a-commission-together-to-investigate-issue-X-instead-of-actually-doing-something-about-it" Hagel is already cutting the legs of credibility out from under her: https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/17/air-force-command-nominee-is-1st-woman-non-pilot/?page=1

This is what happens when PA officers with horrendous grammar & PA skills are put in charge of a general's PR machine. Hilarity ensues.

Checkride Scoring
It may have something to do with the fact that you can't correctly spell "douchebag", douchebag. You answered your own question. It doesn't matter to your assignment, but it absolutely matters to your bro's assignment. Any scheduler or training chief that uses your Flt/CC rank (assuming they even know what it is) to hose you is also a douchebag who has forgotten the very system they were brought up in. Besides, the instances where I've seen this happen, the guard dude usually only moves if he's on the bubble (and then by no more than 1 spot). Otherwise it's a moot point. Now ALPsters, on the other hand...

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
So if I, as an "early eligible" this year were to stay on the fence, would I be able to sign the FY15 bonus next year as a regular "eligible"? (Assuming it's offered)

Just got the AMS robot email Would it shock anyone to know that all of the links in said email are broken?

Checkride Scoring
It's been a few years since my white jet tour, but unless something has drastically changed, the pool of assignments is AF-wide. Your SQ/CCs will rochambeaux with their counterparts at DLF & END to work out the final drops. They'll use MASS scores as ammo for their arguments, but in the end, the 3 #1 guys are generally equal (unless they're gunning for a special drop, like a B-2, then differing scores will matter) Your OGs should have the same scoring policies across UPT. I imagine it's probably outlined in 36-2205v4, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

If those were the sofa king & porn star patches... Then no, sadly.

The ceiling tiles stayed up, unless the class patch was "offensive", then it was removed, along with every Thank You plaque with that patch anywhere on base. The wall of patches in the OG bldg looks like the toothless mouths of so many MS locals now. It's just sad.

Which Aircraft At Which Base?
Aww, I remember when I thought I had "choices" and "control over my career". Those were the days! ::single tear:: Unless you're guard/reserve, then Godspeed for being smarter than me!

Random question, but I didn't see any dedicated threads. Does anyone have good contact info for the hurricane hunters? I've been calling their recruiter's number all week with no joy. PMs appreciated.- UPT/ENJJPT Start Dates

We could absolutely pull it off today! Have you even SEEN the number of party planners, event coordinators, & staff monkeys we have?? By god, it would be so (over)planned by so many people & briefed to so many other people, that there'd be no one left to actually go ashore! It wouldn't matter though, the war was won on PowerPoint, & everyone got an OPR bullet!!- So You're Getting Out...Why?

It's a self-licking ice cream cone too. Part of the problem is many of the bad managers don't know they're bad managers. I'd wager very few guys (even shoes) wake up in the morning & think "I'm going to be a shitpump today at work!" They're taking the taskers their bosses give them, and carrying them out like they've seen their bosses in the past do. We only know what we've been taught & have been exposed to, so the odds of a endless cycle of bullshit grow exponentially with every generation... Like the plague. - C-130H Total Force Integration
