    Found this patch in a consignment shop. Any of you old hats around when this first was made?

    Unfortunately the lack of inflationary adjustment to flight pay has limited me to only a Ninja blender. Although it has a lot of bells and whistles, it's no Vitamix. I suppose this is how someone feels when owning a Corvette ZR1 rather than a true exotic, supercar.
  3. LookieRookie
    True, you need someone else to fly while you get ATIS
  4. LookieRookie
    If you don't take the bonus, the Air Force doesn't let you fly. It happened in the 90s. It was basically the threat that you wouldn't fly until your ADSC ends so good luck getting an airline job being non-current

    That's no bueno. Even making a flying squadron have a fully staffed CSS, there's the fact of deployments, lack of assignment control, just general AF buffoonery. It's hard to not go to the airlines from a pure finance/QoL standpoint
  6. LookieRookie
    Unless it's on a contract counter signed by AFPC/CC I don't believe it.

    The Reserves are a little behind the power curve. We're currently getting manpower studies/updated UMDs that move the CSSs to the group level. Oh and SQ/CCs lost their secretaries! Wahoo!

    I don't know why you would do that. I don't even think you technically can. UOQs are government owned and they take the full rate BAH.
  9. LookieRookie
    No it was staying in the UOQs (dorms) at UPT base WHILE getting BAH for your HOR. It happens, but is illegal.

    He's saying if you're denied continuation you can TERA.

    HPOs don't have to worry about lesser mortals
  12. LookieRookie
    So now since they have a signed non-continuation letter could they take the involuntarily separation pay now?
  13. LookieRookie
    Perfect he can go to a reserve unit, get a twice passed over waiver, and then be an airline pilot and keep his TR job.

    I got back my 4th of July since it was going to run till the 7th, no complaints from me.

    Interesting enough there still is the MilPDS code for dudes that enrolled in Phoenix aviator back in the day. Edit: A quick Google search says the meeting is on Thursday May 18.
  16. LookieRookie
    Do you have any details of the recent meeting? That article is from 1997.

    O/A-X is light attack/LAAR. A-X is A-10 replacement.

    Test Pilot PSDM dropped today on MyPers. Reserve and Guard pilots are allowed to apply. Make sure you search under Active Duty Officer.

    For perspective a T-6 costs ~$4.6M let's say an AT-6 costs $8M. A scorpion costs $20M. The AT-6 flight hour is $1K compared to $3K on the Scorpion. Not to mention a "mature" T-6 parts line. Essentially for every Scorpion produced 3 AT-6s could be bought and fielded. I don't see the Scorpion winning this. I assume the SNC A-29 has similar costs and it's line is open/being offered to FMS and we have qualified A-29 USAF IPs.

    Doesn't that fall under sanctuary?

    In case there are any young Zoomies, USAFA can't be on initial ADSC aka your first five years.
  22. LookieRookie
    Yea they do, they're called SERGRADs. (Selectively Retained Graduates)
  23. LookieRookie
    I think he is an actual GO. He may have been dox'd himself, which is probably why he stopped participating.
  24. LookieRookie
    Lol
