  1. That’s right, don’t forget the great crew ratio lowering of late 2015-early 2016 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Rumor mill was that a couple were non-recommended for IFF Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. What’s this guidance you speak of? Where I am wing/cc laid out a couple days ago, 2.5 hrs driving radius for purposes of outdoor rec only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Anyone who tells you they would rather not be a pilot in the Air Force, but is in fact a pilot in the Air Force can go f*ck right off. I might bitch about shit constantly, but I love flying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Wtf is a clay beer mug? A stein? Anyways, head to aviatorgear.com they probably have all you need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. And that’s when you leave and don’t come back for the rest of the day. I’ll laugh if someone tries to chief over this. I already don’t have to get my haircut, who gives a what color my bandana is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Yes. Politco has more https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/02/navy-fires-aircraft-carrier-captain-who-raised-alarm-about-virus-outbreak-162225 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Well in standard pentagon tradition, the one who goes against the machine gets removed from command https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/navy-expected-relieve-captain-who-raised-alarm-about-covid-19-n1175351 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. In this case, the likelihood of this guy needing 5 years is low. He has already applied for retirement. He will likely apply for retirement again in 2-3 years when the PCS ADSC expires.
  10. Yeah because I wash my 2 flight suits every other day... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Not unpopular opinion. Note: I am an AETC IP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. My best guess is that due to the relatively isolated locales of these bases (Lackland excluded) they were not worried due to lack of confirmed cases near the bases. Now that COVID is nearly everywhere they are going to have to re-evaluate because this risk is getting out of hand Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. From the sounds of it pipeline PCS are still happening. So why bother with the stop movement order if 2 levels lower is just going to come out and change it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Well UPT is still chugging along with the only real changes of reduced out and backs and self quarantine if you exhibit the symptoms. And I don’t think you’re the only ones still flying, my previous ops sq is min-manned in the office, but still flying locals/sims/worldwide missions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. You’d have to be nuts not to. Over $200k a year (on group 4 Capt) to retire early. I’d be calling today to get signed up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Sounds like a special kind of hell having to endure a car service JFK-DOV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. What ever happened to “Nothing we do today can’t be done tomorrow”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. That can’t be right because when I went through I did my $ ride then like the next week was X Mas Break and then I soloed at like the end of January so that would have been like 20 days on the flight line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Same problem with flight pay except $700 in 1989 should be ~$1800 now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I’ve had rotate speeds be under 100 kts before, really light, but still under 100. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. As for looking for a place, I used Alamo Corporate Housing to get a spot for myself, wife, and dog during PIT. They work with a good number of military in the same situation and can help get you in something reasonably close to Kelly, I am sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. That’s precisely what’s already going on. Initial Qual is like 40 sims, then a check, in the sim. One qualified, continuation training in the sim focuses on instrument flying and emergency procedures. Local training sorties are dedicated to tactical training until weather dictates otherwise, in that case you might fly a 3 hr local doing approaches somewhere, but it’s not the norm or first plan.

  23. I haven’t personally seen it having spent the last 7 yrs at either UPT bases or AMC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Idk man, I’m way too young for that shit. I was in 6th grade on 9/11 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Also absent from her bio is a single Air Medal. AAM, yes, but no air medal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
