Just saving for when October comes around. My gut tells me that the bonus take rate will continue to decrease regardless of the extra bonus money, but I don't have the insider information that you have, being the A1 high ranking guy you totally are.

Ha. It makes me think the whole thing is just for show, to make the stop-loss more palatable down the road.

Good first step. The cynical part or me predicts that this is just a required step on the inevitable path to stop loss. Now they can say they tried "everything" before using the nuclear option. But still, good opportunity for some. It should come with a bonus though, otherwise these guys are working for less pay than people they are equivalent rank with in their AD squadrons.

Can you get a conventional loan and then 6 months later refinance to an IRRRL VA?

What does it take for inactive reservists to get activated? Is it done at the same time as a regular activation, or is it a different and more difficult process for the USAF? I ask because if stop loss combined with ARC activation is in the future, it may be time to hang up the spurs. Getting activated to fight for our country is one thing; getting activated due to perpetual personnel mismanagement is methinks a bridge too far.

Can we rename this thread, "I'm not staying in, but does anyone know if the Air Force is going to give me more money before I leave?"

Is this your first time using a Forum? You can reply to multiple people or multiple posts with one of your own.

Viper guys usually do not carry cell phones.

You've obviously never had first hand experience with the UCMJ. What's the quote? "Military justice is to justice as military music is to music."

$1k a month? I get that much airline per diem per month.

Hey, they're aspiring to be professional pilots rather than professional christmas party planners. It's progress.

If this is the case, it makes it difficult to tell where you're at in a given year without some sort of personal tacking system. Not a big deal if you're a normal TR, but for min running IMAs I could see it getting challenging.

How often does the points summary update? Last I saw it hadn't updated since my last "year" completed.

Could you do ACSC while inactive reserve to get a "good" year?

Is ACSC points/no pay?

By being honest to the flight doc for the first time ever?

Story - go.

Interesting - the more you know. I would assume that the success rate at AFBCMR appeals are very low, but I doubt that is an available statistic.

If your CC is going to give you an LOR, you are entitled to an ADC?

Yes. There's no "appeal" to an LOR, and you're not entitled to a lawyer.

A commander can always give you paperwork for whatever he wants.

Is there a single example of an unmanned craft with the same safety record as, say, a 737? Until there is, isn't this academic?

Actually, I think there have been several instances of a pilot having a life threatening problem in the cockpit. Heart attack, stroke, etc. Remember you're talking about 60+ year old guys who often haven't lived the most healthy lifestyles. The fact that you don't hear more about it is due to the second pilot being there to "save the day," and turn the situation into a non-issue.

Wow, really good point.

I don't know why you guys have faith in the IG or the JAG to fix this stuff. They are going to side with the commander 99% of the time.
