BADFNZ

You mean besides an aging fleet and all your experience sprinting to the door when their ADSC is up?

There's a much easier solution to this: 1. Turn off computer 2. Crack open beer 3. Turn on Final Four 4. ??? 5. Profit

"Cars didn't even have seat belts back in my day, and I'm still here!" Such an idiotic line of reasoning.

What's the story on this dude?

Submit a ticket, give me 6-9 weeks, and I'll tell you.

There's really no benefit to Big Blue promoting you to Lt Col in this instance. You're already locked in for 20 and you're not going to be a CC, so why would they voluntarily give you more money? This just sounds like classic AF carrot dangling.

Am I punching the second I am eligible? Yes. Do I have regrets? Fuck no.

You don't happen to be a Dyess guy do you?

Maybe this is a question for the AFRC/ANG board, but I figure this applies to airline guys too... Are there any part-time non-flying AFRC/ANG jobs that pilots can do that might work better with an airline pilot's schedule? The city I want to settle down in has an ANG flying unit, but I'm not sure if I want to cross-train, go through the school house, etc. all over again for a new airframe. I might actually enjoy flying a desk for a few days a month as a break from airline flying. Any positions like this that are common in AFRC/ANG units?

2-piece OCP flightsuits are going to become mandatory at home station for C-130 units at Dyess, according to a buddy stationed there.

I've had a beer or two since, but didn't USAA still pay it's members their normal paycheck on payday when the last shutdown took place?

Thanks. How does terminal leave affect a PC separation date? Is it treated like a normal separation? If I set a separation date of 1 Oct, could I still go on terminal on 1 Aug if I had 60 days of leave?

If you PC with let's say 6 months left on your UPT ADSC, are you required to fulfill that final 6 months as a full-timer in the AFRC or can you go straight to a TR?

Thanks. Sorry, more n00b questions here, but when they say "hold a line", is that basically the same trip/schedule every week?

I'm sure the answer is "it depends", but which airline allows for the most schedule flexibility? I admittedly know nothing about the airline scheduling process, but how hard is it to add/drop trips? For example, if I'm scheduled for a Mon-Thur trip, but my kid has some school shit that my wife wants me to attend on Wed, can I drop the trip and it's easily picked up by someone else? Do I need to find my replacement? Or do I need to put in for a day off months in advance and hopefully the chips fall my way?

What are condoms?

This is at least the 3rd time you've mentioned the Herk community cross-flowing our shit to the Tanker. Did some former Herk dude/dudette take your CGOC presidency position?

From what I've heard from some bros at Dyess, the shit the new AW/CC has implemented could fill up its own thread.

As the PIC, I just turn down FDP waivers every time. Problem solved.

$50 raise?

Checked MyPers today and it looks like pending Congress approval, '08 YG Maj selects with line #s 1-191 should start pin on in Oct.

We've already covered this, but those are the type of people we try to get out of the community through programs like Phoenix.

Someone on TPN posted the unit the tail was from and a quick Google search showed they flew T models but obviously nothing has been confirmed.

It's pretty sad that I'm in this board but my give-a-shit factor is so low that I forgot the results were going to be released this summer.

It's funny because the last few we've sent to Phoenix from the Herk were the sewn-in kneepad types that we wanted out of the community. You're welcome.
