  1. 10 Taliban fighters kill 163 Afghan soldiers. Oh yeah, the security situation is improving, sign me up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/at-least-160-dead-after-taliban-attack-on-major-afghan-army-base-official-says/2017/04/22/239aa398-2750-11e7-a1b3-faff0034e2de_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_afghan-attacks-830am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.f12298bcb95d
  2. MyPers says that VLPADers will still compete for promotions on the Reserve Active Status List rather than the Active Duty List. You can't try to PV though, only mandatory boards.
  3. Copy, I was expanding on how far behind the times AETC is.
  4. They were approved in 2015 with Stratus II pucks
  5. Crossflow talk aside, I think it's weird a FAIP decided to make an account pretending to be the mouthpiece for every FAIP in the AF, past and present.
  6. Yes and the quality of student doesn't matter. Faces in spaces.
  7. Articles saying it's an MC-130
  8. I'm convinced Chang is a line flying Major that just loves to rile everyone up while sipping some 18 year single malt.
  9. I think Chang is a better troll account than scoobs. I wonder if multiple people participate in it.
  10. From the article: "The Air Force feels that implementing a stop-loss policy would cause pilots to flee the Air Force before the door closed, and they won't stick around to see if things improve. " This tells me the AF will hide stop loss till the last moment so no one can separate before. And I think Everhart was showing an unfiltered, unauthorized view into potential scenarios.

  12. That email has to a joke, especially starting out with some E-9-esque phrase "XXXX Heroes" Edit: If it was Queep Heroes, I'll allow it.
  13. There was a reservist 12F WIC instructor that went through UPT a few years ago as a Lt Col(s). He pinned on in Phase 3. I'm pretty sure he had some stars backing his ETP. Especially since he didn't have a unit until Phase 3.
  14. To your AOC comment, because that's what they put for their first choice for school. I'm sure a lot of them actually like AOC for a school gig especially since it's a command tour. Not to mention USAFA AOC is a very high indicator for O-6. For the attached flying billet thing, the pilot Dean of the Faculty guys need to press their Respective flying coordinator to get USAFA/A1K to change more billets to P prefix and update the API codes IAW USAFAI36-3503 Management of Flying Personnel.
  15. Was Gates for a light attack? I thought he was only interested in buying more Preds.
  16. 36-3207 is Commissioned Officer Separations. 36-3206 is Admin Discharge for Officers. Really what you're going to want is the Separations PSD from MyPers.
  17. News reported that he was picked up by helo dudes. Radio makes sense if he's talking to those guys.
  18. I don't see the Navy response as all that positive. It just seems that the Striking IPs have ground naval aviation to a halt and so now that VADM has to save face. Especially telling is the pilots that said only 6 air test tubes were given for all their jets. "Some instructor pilots point to Rear Adm. Dell D. Bull, chief of naval air training, as the culprit in ignoring the unsafe conditions. “He is telling us to just, ‘shut up and color,’” one pilot said. "
  19. Go be the lucky one and get the IMA slot at the 81 FS teaching A-29s at Moody.
  20. There's a pilot that got his PC approved into the unit youre talking about. I'll look tomorrow to find his name.
  21. Do you not allow them to talk about anything else besides training during MQT?
  22. FWIW, there is a syllabus that fits your description. The T-38 TX syllabus has a track for MAF dudes that flew T-1s in UPT and have a T-38 PIT class follow on. Edit: I know your a CAF bubba but it was written assuming T-1=MAF.
  23. As usual the AFTimes has terrible journalism. It was a Lt Col's drive. Probably will pick up O-6, get SDE, and pin it all on a lieutenant though. https://www.zdnet.com/article/leaked-us-military-files-exposed/
  24. Back to the bonus, from what I saw from DRAFT is 11F/11U gets $35K. 11B/11M/11S get $34. 11H/11R get $28K. There also was the addition of 1, 2, and 13 year contracts and possible renegotiation if Congress ups the amount. Edit: Also bonuses for 12F/12B 5 yr @ $15k, 12H 5 yr @ 20k, 12R/12S 5 yr @ $10k. No love for 12M Who knows if this is actually approved
  25. You aren't being racked and stacked against other UPT bases for advanced phase. AETC determines the numbers based on a multitude of factors.
