I worked for him when he was the OG at Salem in '05. He was everything that's wrong with USAF and not a tear was shed when his career was terminated.

Apparently Chris Kyle was murdered at a shooting range in Texas today. https://www.theblaze....shooting-lodge/ RIP

And -130 Navs.

The guys you listed are pilots, why would I ask them? With the first VSP I saw good pilots get out, I saw Navs stay in and assume leadership position because all of a sudden the USAF had a pilot shortage and what were they going to do anyways in the civilian sector? Nothing, hence why most 12Whatevers stay in.

What common post-military job opportunities do Navs/EWO/WSO/CSO's and ABM's have?

Him Him

You left out the not wanting to be a pilot anymore, three years into her UPT commitment, so she gets pregnant, goes unqualified due to the pregnancy, gets qualified again, maybe upgrades to AC/IP, gets pregnant again, goes unqualified, gets qualified again, gets pregnant again, the applies for VSP/PALACE CHASE... 2

UFB, is that all you got?

So are female trainees going to shack up with male trainees? Probably not, you're going to have to build new dorms/convert older dorms...which costs money.

Not even an AIB?

I've had Sq/CC's and DO's that weren't even IP's. That says something about their credibility off the bat.

Who said anything about Warrants being Pilots? There are some specialities where a Warrant would work better than a SNCO or even a young CGO. Do you honestly think there isn't a leadership problem in the USAF currently?

Horrible way to die. RIP :beer:

The USAF would benefit from a Warrant Officer corps.

We just had a civilian Test Pilot from Edwards go through our Senior Officer Course. Anything can be outsourced.

The guy I know was AD.

Most of the people I've seen fail the PT test were skinny guys that either couldn't run or couldn't do sit-ups. However a Sq/CC, who has the authority to give referral OPR/EPR's for PT test failures to subordinates, should be fired for failing their own PT test.

That would be a step up from Altus.

E-3's and E-8's are some of the worst receivers to refuel. RC's usually are pretty spot on. A lot more have it than you think. We had A3T brief us here two years ago of the various PTX courses AMC is coming up with for previous tanker pilots/no receiver experience, tanker pilots/receiver experience, no-previous tanker experience.

McConnell and Fairchild have same sized ramp space, with McConnell having double the -135 tails as Fairchild. The -135 isn't going away anytime soon, considering the first R-model was retired this week. McConnell will still be the biggest -135 Wing in the USAF IMHO.

Altus for the FTU, Fairchild for the MOB #1.

Altus just cancelled Blues Monday, however the same email said personnel at HQ AETC would wear Blues Monday through Thursday. Flight suits/ABU's on Friday.

If his name was Josh...

That you're not MR'd.

Aren't you still in PIQ?
