Yep. Don’t know the guy or line number personally. The big thing with the line numbers now is funny because they wrote everywhere that your line number is just a snapshot of one time your relative standing among your peers. Gtfo, someone in the bottom half of that shouldn’t have smoke blown up their ass telling them they could do all this cool shit and should only start hanging with ANG/AFRC and working on their airline apps.

I just heard of a guy passed over last year that made it this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’ve been talking about this for a few years now. Basically since most wing commanders are pilots, group commanders are redundant wastes of space placeholder spots for junior o-6 types Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ran into this guy at an FBO the other week. He’s flying part 135 now after he retired from American Airlines, before that LA Guard F15s, before that AD and separated 100% disability because he ejected from a T-38 over NM in the 80s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First time I’ve heard of this Rhat guy but got damn does he sound like a douche. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before coronavirus it still looked much like that. Currently it is back and forth with having a grad ceremony and dinner banquet depending on the current viral trends at CBM.

Talk to the shirt. Talk to the transition flight commander. There may be ways to send a casual to a nearby base in a case like this. Casuals have recently been farmed out to other bases for 6-9 months leaving the casual population at the UPT bases lower than it had been. A humanitarian move may be possible. Talk to your STUS leadership, that’s what they’re for. I would know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. You’ll never have to pay for the gas in the boat if you take your class mates out every weekend. You can boat year round in Del Rio if you want. I remember wakeboarding late in October no problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Joke is going to be on them now that any company over 100 employees has a vaccine mandate now. It’s a really dumb hill to die on folks especially people with multiple pages of immunizations and a slew of them being for anthrax. Like really who has seen anthrax besides that Daschle mail thing in like 2002? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t, but I don’t see why you couldn’t. Traffic may suck getting to RND every morning. I stayed off of 1604 and Bulverde rd, relatively traffic free 20 minute commute, next to the nicest HEB in the area, and a stone throw to all that Stone Oak has to offer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IFS has been IFT for years at this point Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As of right now that waiting game isn’t happening. The MAF FTUs are taking UPT grads within a month of graduation. This was not the case when I went through ~7 years ago. I sat for 6 months between UPT grad and PIQ start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly the patches. The wing king didn’t ban faip flags. Just made them a Friday thing instead of every day. Idk why it’s a big deal, back in my UPT stud days at DLF nobody could wear pen tabs and faips could only wear faip mafia patches on Friday. Why or when it turned into an every day thing I’m not sure.

It’s probably as fun as flying a C-17 into ORBI with a 100 hr FP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah UPT 2.5 is the future man. Wing them after 6 months in a t-6 then send them to a sim top-off. Honestly it probably would work well if the heavy sim top off wasn’t the POS that is the T-1 sim. Make it in some sort of full motion multi engine jet and it probably would be worthwhile. Too bad the cost per hour of those rivals the op cost of most small jets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Jon! Just came by to say that I closed my first mortgage/VA loan going through Jon at Trident and I have to say Trident made the process pretty easy. The whole team was easy to communicate with and I had no issues through the process Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I haven’t heard anything does that mean I’m a o-4 select? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s gone. We are back to the traditional 15 class per year system.

Just came in here to show some support for Rep Kinzinger. Apparently multiple members of his family have come out denouncing him due to him not being down with the Trump cult. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/15/us/politics/adam-kinzinger-republicans-trump.html

It totally should be. They should be able to buy any light twin corporate jet slap a UHF radio in it and call it good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I fly the toner currently and just last week the 19af/cc talked about potentially a partial divestiture with the toner only at CBM and END Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I came here to write that Rep Adam Kinzinger is the first GOP House Member to call for invoking the 25th to remove Trump from office. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/533112-first-gop-lawmaker-calls-for-invoking-25th-amendment-to-remove-trump If you don’t remember that name, you should. I think he has an account here or you might know him as Lt Col Adam Kinzinger, KC-135 pilot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like this has to be someone trolling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
