"We have an increase student load coming and from 2017 to 2021 the forecast is a 34 percent increase in students," said Col. Darrell Judy, 71st Flying Training Wing commander. Judy said the student increase won't come with more instructors, at least not for a few more years. https://newsok.com/article/5600396/vance-air-force-base-prepares-for-boost-in-pilot-training This will definitely help retain existing instructors right?

Shack... Only a matter of time before we write more “guidance” with blood.

No confirmation here, I do know that I DIDN’T sign I to my blackboard account and attempt to complete my ACSC by correspondence....

Now there is one more gone! Congrats Duck.....

All those -38 trained guys that were sent to bvllshit assignments back in 2008-2011 are probably the last captive(literally) audience that you could snag to teach -38 UPT. Wonder if IFF for those dudes would breed the right mentality.

Yup! Can someone please tell CSAF to stop lying then....

Serious question: Who DOES the Air Force give a about? General Officers? Congressmen? Its clearly not anyone below the rank of Colonel.

I just don’t understand.... How could this possibly happen? His Bio clearly states that he attended SOS in residence, ACSC by correspondence and has a Masters from the coveted “TUI University”. Mind boggling.

True. But you’ve got to start somewhere.... Wolves and Sheep and sh!t right?

For the love of god, we ALL know how worthless ACSC in correspondence is.... Please just stop. It can’t be a discriminator when the masses cut the bvllsh!t on their own. Reference: AvIP changes, two tour in place option, CBT removal/thrash, 365 reductions, 5 year fencing for those that deployed their asses off. All because we are finally voting with our feet.

0% chance?! Damn... I've been hearing the term "promote to retain" being thrown around.... Just like FUSEPLUG said, I believe attrition will play a major factor in our future promotion boards. All that said, I suppose ill be the first to "commit career suicide".... I stand by my previous comment that ACSC in correspondence is a waste of time.

ACSC was totally worthless. SHACK That said, it’s not all that time consuming if you can fog a mirror. This mindset is feeding the AF machine in a negative way. Rationalizing "worthless" tasks is EXACTLY the reason we are all stuck in this sinking ship. I was able to knock out most of the self paced classes in well under 2 hours, and the group classes took an average of maybe 6-9 hours spread over a couple weeks. Congrats.

Fvck ACSC.... here is why I refuse: 4 year degree ASBC SOS in correspondence (in order to get the push for in-res) SOS in residence (8 weeks) Masters (in order to make O-4) Just like the pilot "crisis" my vote will be cast by action. (or lack thereof)

Thanks.

Any more info if this actually fills the square for Major?

In on this one as well...

There goes that idea: https://www.kake.com/news/headlines/Suspects_Wanted_In_Salina_Dollar_General_Holdup_134139528.html?ref=528

They started dropping the MC-12 out of UPT with no follow on... Most are 38 dudes too.

Couple Questions: Which one is the "better" of the two? Leadership Concentration or Operational Warfare? Also, is this an actual "application" or are you automatically in when you are deemed eligible? Thanks.
