Why did you stop?
Not sure, just wanted to keep it short and simple. Doesn't matter, not posted as of now.

This is the comment I submitted, we'll see if it gets published.
This article's use of the word "Airmanship" is a complete abomination. Merriam-Webster defines airmanship as: "skill in piloting or navigating aircraft." Please stop using a fundamental concept of our service as a buzzword. And before anyone thinks this is about operators vs. support, please don't. This is about an overblown warrior ethos and a lack of focus on the core competencies of the Air Force.-

Didn't get the AMS Robot, anyone willing to post or PM the contents?

SPiF, read a little closer.
Airman Boggs was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal with Valor March 22 for his selfless contribution in defending Forward Operating Base Gardez against insurgent forces Sept. 24, 2010. He was also awarded the Army Commendation Medal and Army Combat Action Badge for his actions. -
I'm single. So I don't need to call lodging or anything? Just show up and see what happens?
No & yes

The over manned percentage is about to climb even higher. Altus is increasing the number of PIQ classes by 30% in the fall. Source: Altus Sim Program Manager.
Keep in mind that AD won't see all that 30%, if it in fact exists. There are two, possibly three AFRES units converting to C-17's as well as another new customer, India, that all need training.

Steve, "Iowa" State. I know that Ohio and Iowa are probably the same place to a Brit.
Kind of like Ireland and Northern Ireland to many Yanks.
Actually you are both kinda right. The game was Ohio State at University of Iowa.

19th AF is one of the NAF's set to go away in the next 18 months or so, could have something to do with it (pure speculation).

...but there were questions as whether it could hold up at altitude... or, and probably more problematic, Herk crewdogs.
Article says rapid-d test to 51k. The concern I've heard is the temperature of some of the garden spots we tend to visit for months at a time.

Don't give me a patch, give me a day off or a bonus.
Mention this to your CC. Ours gives a two-day pass for >90 and 1 day for any improvement of 5 points. May not seem like a lot but making a weekend four days long can be a good deal. Our Sq has seen a quite an upswing in "Excellents." Sometimes you have to incentive-ize things to motivate people.

Yes. I have a MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.5. I just connect my USB CAC reader to the MacBook, go to the webmail site, selected my email certificate, typed in my pin and it works great.
I assume you are using Safari. Or some other browser?

Maybe I'm just really slow, but I recently learned that certain AF Education Centers are Airman Knowledge Test Centers. If I understand this right, free tests for IP equivalency, ATP, etc. Anyone know anymore details?

The message is bad...the animation is horrific.
I think I know what you mean, but I would clarify the contents of the message and animation. I thought the animation was well put together.

link/copy paste?
Safety is priviledged, see your FSO. AIB not released yet (that I've heard).

Another win for the grammer police. Thanks for keeping the rest of us safe.

If it falls during the Boeing portion it is pretty easy to get the time off and easy for the FLT/CC approval. On day one you should meet Mr. Barnes (I think that's his name) and he'll ask you which weekends you would like to have as long weekends. IIRC I had 3 3day weekends and 2 4day weekends. It's a pretty chill course and the Boeing guys will almost always work with you.
His name is Mr. Bayers, otherwise mostly correct. The other side of the coin is that if you are on the flightline, you'll need to coordinate with the long-range schedulers at the 58th. If it adversely affects the timeline, don't hold your breath. Also keep in mind sim maintenance, weather, jet maintenance and follow-on training, i.e. survival of varying flavors. In the end, you're here for training, but we do what we can.

Im going to be at Altus in a couple of months and would like to stay off base. Im guessing that you have to check-in with base housing first and get a non-a before you are allowed to go elsewhere. If this is the case, do the apartment complexes in town usually accommodate on such short notice? From reading this thread, the Madison Trail apartments seem to be a good place to live. Anyone have any recent experience to help out? Thanks
The short answer is you can stay wherever you please. The government is only on the hook for the on-base lodging rate or the rate "downtown" for any days on a non-availability slip. That said, $30x30 nights=$900/month in rent. I don't live in an apartment, but you in the past.

How do you get selected to fly the G-Vs at Hickam, MacDill, and Chievres? Is it an application process or just another assignment worked through your functional at AFPC? Are C-130 pilots picked up for these jobs? Thanks.
No, yes, and I have no idea. Guys tend to get 'em after a stint at Altus, wonder why that is...? Seriously though, the only blue and white airplanes that I know for sure you have to apply for are the ones at Andrews. We just sent a guy to Macdill and I'm renting my house from a -135 guy who went to Hickam.

There is also a little sandwich shop in the back of Crown Jewelers (Grapevine Cafe) that is pretty good, it's only open for lunch though.
If you like Pick Up Taco, rumor is La Hacienda is owned by the same folks. A few more seats and sit-down service. May have been mentioned earlier, but decent BBQ at Tommy Joe's.

Done! And invites sent.

Our Sq issues Oregon Aero "hush" kits for our David Clarks. Maybe you can hit up yours and put end of year money to a good use...

The wife and I just got back from the Oahu/the Hale Koa this morning. I will echo the sentiments of most so far. We really enjoyed Hanauma Bay, the Dole Plantation, Diamond Head, and Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona. Hanauma Bay is $5 per person, free for military stationed in HI. We had a car the whole time and made a trip to the Hickam Commissary for breakfast foods and booze. This really helped negate overpriced drinks and pricey food throughout Waikiki. As far as I could tell all Hale Koa rooms have been renovated. Something I overheard at breakfast one morning was to check the ITT office at Hickam/Pearl Harbor. Apparently you can get even better deals than the Activities desk at the hotel.
Any specific questions, PM me.
