Every time I open this thread, my decision to volunteer for VSP and subsequently getting passed over are further proven the right direction for me. It's good to just walk away.

Liquid, what's your background? We're just a little curious.

You'll need a waiver being twice passed over as well.

There is also a double standard that exists. The chosen ones can do anything without scrutiny while the unchosen are looked at under a microscope. I've clearly never been a chosen one, but after a deployment where I saw vastly different standards enforced, I couldn't take it anymore.

See, that's the thing. I was never told that I was a shitty officer. Not once was I told how I could improve my performance as a pilot and officer. Even when I asked. I was always told I was doing what I needed to do, I was upgraded on time, and I showed job progression. Then I volunteered for VSP, was denied, and was passes over 9 months later. Yep, you're correct. Douche.

Radio etiquette
I just move up behind the tanker and move to contact when the rocket comes out. I don't think I've ever said anything, and I get gas every time. Is that wrong?

.45 for EDC (Kimber Ultra Tactical II). 9mm for zombie apocolyse (Sig P226 with 20 round mag and Liberty Infinity supressor). I don't participate in the .45 vs 9mm debate. I use both. Caveat - the above hardware does not actually exist.

Apparently having "good hands" no longer matters....

There is no Bushmaster made worth $1145. Take it back and look for a Colt 6920.

Well, I'm giving it till the end of 2015 to get picked up by a major. Even if the flood gates never open and they aren't interesting in my 2200 PIC hours, anything is better than the absolute bullshit I have experienced on Active Duty the last 3 years. And it's sad that everything else can truly suck the fun and excitement out of flying a Hog at 100'. Caveat - I do have a shitty attitude and I realize it's my fault for allowing the Air Force to ruin such a good thing...

There are around 500 or more of those furloughed United guys currently flying on the Continental side. All United furloughees were offered positions with Continental.

WTF are you talking about? United and USAir are hiring. AA has 80 more recalls to bring back before they start hiring, most likely this fall. Delta will start hiring in Jan 2014. The hiring boom hasn't kicked off but, with literally 69% of all airline pilots retiring within the next 12 years, it will.

Boston Marathon Bombing
This! And that cop and anyone who's involved in the decision should be charged with manslaughter. I, for the most part, appreciate the work that police do for us, but the militarization of police agencies in this country has got to stop.

They should have put a $100,000 bounty out on him, dead or a live. He would have been dropped off on the FBI's doorstep hog tied or with a bullet hole in the head.

Gen Welsh - USAF Chief of Staff
The guy is a politician. Pure and simple. Never trust politicians. I hope he can save the ship. I really do. But for every 1 good General officer like Welsh, there are 50 spineless, O-6 to O-8 fucks that are happy the way things are..

11F. Twice deferred. Continuation offered.

I started the non-continuation rumor. The AF will always offer pilots continuation. Anyone who accepts it as a Captain passed over to Major is an idiot.
-

Enough hours to maybe get hired by a Major, but definitely not a $75k check. They'll be offered continuation, the last "fuck you" the AF will give.

So, not having a Masters is like having 3 LORs or Q3s? Am I reading that correctly?

So you think some rights are more important than others. Copy. I don't. My Gun rights are equal to my voting rights are equal to my free speech rights.
