I'm glad that worked for you. Seriously. I went back and forth with AFPC arguing the same point, trying to get them to read the same note. The minion who I was dealing with didn't agree with your and my interpretation of the English language. Ymmv

I'd have to go look. IIRC, if it's requal you should be correct. If it's a new MDS then you're SOL. I know lots (ok several) Herk guys who fought and lost the ADSC for J transition.

Huggy-which model/size do you have? I assume you like it or you would have traded/upgraded to a bigger one in 16 years?

No, and I know of at least one guy who applied last year under the force shaping rules who got denied but is trying again every 6 months until he either gets approved or finishes his ADSC

Well at least we're not leasing them. Maybe no one will go to jail (like Darlene druyen) and this contract will stick with Northrop. Serious question: what's the break even cost point at which survivable manned bombers are no longer worth it compared to cruise missiles. I'm sure someone on staff somewhere has crunched those numbers.

The whole calculus changes when the retirement system goes to a 401k style with matching. I wouldn't be thrilled with the longer commitment, but no one would be stuck since they're so close to 20 by the time their UPT commitment is up.

To them.

Glad to hear. Thanks

You hope. I know little rock came home recently, but do they have any crews at the Deid or Saleem who might have headed north for a little deployed TDY?

Crew of 5 makes me think it's a slick J with the tactics LT riding along. Anyone know if it's an AMC or AFSOC tail?

This. I have no problem with people playing the game within the rules regardless of how retarded the rules are Does the VA system need to be reformed? Absolutely. But you're barking up the wrong tree if you think we need to "take one for the team" When Uncle Sam is offering up the bennies. Anyone else see the irony in how ed up the VA system is when to my knowledge it's currently the only Government run healthcare system? I can't wait until every hospital system is this dysfunctional under obamacare.

Haha. Fair enough. Good luck with DTS. I heard the admin peeps were coming back to the squadrons to handle this kind of crap for us. I think that was 3 years ago...still waiting

Were you drunk when you dig this thread up?

This same dynamic is what gave us Obama over Hillary as the democratic nominee in 2008. Curious to see how that shakes out this time.

Nope. But for an extra $200 I have a pistol length gas SBR. 8.5 inch 300 blackout and 10.5 inch 5.56 uppers. I wish I'd gotten into NFA sooner. It's not as hard as it seems. What info are you looking for?

You don't sign the adsc after drop night. It's been a few years but I'm pretty sure I had to sign the paperwork before starting UPT. And I went through in 08-09 when they started doing this the first time.

Not BS. I remember hearing that story when I came through the C130 FTU. In fact, I'm pretty sure that tail is on static display at little rock. Front gate maybe?

My stance is that the slide clickers are compliant. Until someone shows me papers that says they're not, I'll continue to use them.

My understanding is you took the ADSC when you transferred. It's not reversible. i.e you don't get to reverse it and make the ADSC go away. It doesn't work like that.

To them.

Aren't you in sanctuary by now?

That's the problem. Most aren't willing to poke the bear to find out what happens if you decline the ADSC.

Make this man a general.

It was A-3 but it's working again now

Little rock is running pretty close to 24/7 with a couple hours of scheduled downtime for maintenance/reboots etc. I love the 0200 CRM refresher sim.
