Promotion and PRF Information
Many of them did not have enough (if any) performance reports in their records. The dudes impacted most sat casual for 9 months to a year, went to UPT, sat for another 4 or 5 months and then went to PIT. Some only had 1 or 2 TRs in their records which were probably 'canned', generic bullets. When they met the board, there was nothing to 'grade'.

SUPT ops going forward...specifically to IP's
The bigger concern is with maintenance. Some sims can be covered/augmented with AD military (IPs).

Promotion and PRF Information
ADSC is after getting picked to go...and you accept. As far as when a select will go, it depends. Lots of variables that can drive which look you get picked up on. Being a select does not make it automatic that you'll go on your first look.

C-17 Pilot Charged in Training Jump Death
Go to Air Force Docket (online list of all CM in AF) and it is still listed as going to trial...hence my question.

C-17 Pilot Charged in Training Jump Death
Any word on whether or not they are going to continue with the CM of the other Pilot?

More SARC briefings soon.
At every UPT base it should be going to the Wg/CC per the uniform AFI (AETC Sup).

Finance Problems
First time I heard the title "chief pilot" was at an AETC base where all the leadership, up to and including the wing commander, were former fighter pilots and they forced the squadrons to create the position. The title is now normally added to one of the ADO's. (ie; ADO/Chief Pilot).

Max Use or Lose Leave
So, work on Saturday, that's why my ops squadrons did to accomplish our required training. It sounds like you have never had a commander tell you to take leave on weekends and federal holidays (even when you weren't going anywhere) so that "his" squadron didn't have anyone reported as having use or lose.

PM sent. Referral caused by a DUI (one example) is criminal. True. With that said, if a dude meets a promotion board and has 2 OPRs (or fewer like some are reporting here) and 50% of those reports (1 of 2 for the dude) are referral, what do you think his chances of getting promoted are? I think the dude self-identified.

Referral OPR.

Not all of the dudes passed over were innocent. I know several that had negative (criminal) information in their files.

Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training)
Not true for AF dudes training navs in the T-6 at Pensacola unless that changed in the last year.

Why not just call and ask? Are you really going to rely on gouge from several years ago?

It is usually the result of multiple hooked tests or students not showing on time Monday morning. If your class acts like adults, they will be treated as such. If not, expect to have limits placed on your outside activities.

T-6 Instructor Requirements
Have you looked at the 11-2T-6v1? Have you went to the etca (education and training announcements) for the administrative and reporting requirements? There are multiple T-6 IPs that were not aircraft commanders prior to arriving (MAF dudes that got non-vol'd before upgrading from First Pilot). It's all waiverable.
