Launch and recovery for RPAs

You just grab a welcome packet at the front desk. You don't need to check in. You can stay off base. Alamo corporate is one.

I've never flown GA and I fly enough mil side. If my flight pay went to $2K per month maybe then I would.

Any links?

Yes it's hard to follow. The gist I get is he's a reservist who just finished becoming a load, boom, or FE. He Q3'd at his squadron and then Q3'd again during requal. His leadership gave him three options: 1. Go to the IRR and it will be swept under the rug. He didn't want to do this because he would lose out on IDT/AT pay until a unit took a gamble on him and gained him from the IRR. This could never happen because he has multiple Q3s. He also would lose out on a good year points wise for retirement. 2. He could voluntarily give up his wings and permanently DQ himself iaw 11-402. 3. FEB He elected #3 and it appears that the FEB went poorly for him and now Gen Miller or Gen Scobee has to approve the FEB recommendation (no wings probably). He's saying that the FEB process was biased and that they don't have eyewitness testimony to his Q3s which doesn't make sense to me. It seems to be the old, leadership is out to get me argument.

Are you still in IQT?

I do not think it was a they, I think it was a he as in Gen Robin Rand AFGSC/CC. That would align with past statements he has said to AFGSC aircrew.

Good thing I skipped this SOS class to start flying again.

Link no work for me https://www.airuniversity.af.mil/Portals/10/SOC/documents/Bios/SOC_Commander_Bio.pdf

LEAP 25% would be covered by the 3R all ARC pilots can get. 3R= Recruitment/Relocation aka when hired or Retention Incentive.

Yup, especially if you're an IP coming off AD you could become an ART, get GS-13 and an increased step with a superior quals package and then have a 25% 3R on top of it. By the way, does CBP get the same SSR that ARTs get? Edit: SSR 0558 for GS-2181s is for Element : Department of the AF. More coin being lost out on. https://apps.opm.gov/specialrates/2014/table055801012014.aspx

Is that all shut down now?

Well... You have to sign a release for them to get your records because of HIPPA. If you narrow the scope of that release to just appendectomy, they can't get any concussion information. If you provide the appendectomy documents yourself, you will be able to ensure that you only get docs that talk about an appendectomy... Use that information how you will

God speed

The reserves already do school with their RSSB. +1 for my baseopileaks source.

Someone very much involved in that area of A1. Sorry can't name names. It's something closely held. I could be wrong and then I'll shack myself.

Ya, the board had school selects bit that's all being stripped and everyone is competing separately again.

No more schools selects on O-4 boards, everyone competes separately. Getting that approved is what's taking so long for release.

The 940th has RPAs and maybe the 919th. And space with the 310th. They're part of 10 AF. As for vacancies if you have a portal account and can get on AFPC secure, you can look in RMVS but that only shows completely vacant position and a lot of units do overages. https://www.afrc.af.mil/Units/

The AF capitulated to pressure. The AvB PSDM was changed today and now early takers still have the additional year, but they get paid for it if they renegotiate it. "Aviators will be paid for the additional year of commitment at the renegotiated annual contract amount."

I'm pretty sure that the May board was the first of more frequent (monthlyish?) boards like the NGB. I can't remember the exact cycle. It was the first AFRC board held at Randolph instead of HQ AFRC.

Allegedly all the info I saw says T-X is supposed to chosen by this December. But that means a other year of GAO protests

UPT: Sponsored: 34 Selects, 38 Applicants Unsponsored: 3 Selects, 6 Applicants The getting is good.

3 of 6 unsponsored guys were selected from what I saw.

A lot of times evidence is needed to gain that public awareness. Otherwise, posts are disregarded.
