Mexican Military incursion(s) into the United States
OCONUS missions take precedence over protecting our own border...protecting other countries (Which are OCONUS) is more important than protecting our own country (which is inside our border...see how this works?) Where exactly is the strawman? And I never saw any mention of the military involved in the protection of our border, either in the original question from Clark or your snide answer to it. So again...why is our OCONUS mission more important than protecting our own border? In case you still don't understand, that question is larger than just the military and more of a US question, not just a US military question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gun Talk
I recently got the Masterpiece Arms MPAR556 and really love it Here is the link to the review I posted on AR15...if you guys want me to post it on here just let me know. It's pretty lengthy (STS) so I figured I'd just link it before posting a book https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/645460_Masterpiece_Arms_MPAR556_Review.html

DQed for scar on my eye
I don't have anything to offer for your specific medical dilemma, however...regardless of how this turns out take it as a lesson. There is no one who cares about your career progression or goals except for YOU. If someone tells you a waiver is started, stay on it (sts) and keep track of it. If someone tells you paperwork is being routed, keep track of it and make sure it's being vetted to the right people. You get the idea. Good luck with this, hopefully it turns out in your favor!

2014 RPA Numbers
I'll just repost this so Chuck doesn't have to... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What you're talking about is no where in the realm of reality right now. It would be great to have, but until then it isn't really relevant in this discussion IMHO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nav to Pilot prior to 2.5 years?
For the life of me, I can't find where I read about IFS, so I just called AETC/A3 because it will drive me insane not being able to find it. From them...If you attended CSO IFS prior to 2008 then you are most likely exempt, if after that you'll have to re-attend and go through the pilot syllabus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nav to Pilot prior to 2.5 years?
Your start date would be determined by the board...so if they picked you up and saw your specific numbers they would work it out so you could meet all time requirements. AFI 36-2205 is the reg governing all rated boards. It goes very in depth on all guidance, and each year the PDSM supplements it with additional guidance. I can't find it on my home computer but I know I've got the IFS reference at work, so I'll post that tomorrow. And yes, avoiding IFS is always a good idea IMHO as it's one less opportunity to get tripped up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nav to Pilot prior to 2.5 years?
I'm not smart on #1, so I won't throw chaff. #2...it's 2 years from nav pin on to UPT Board date with the caveat that you must do 2.5 by the time you start UPT. You can ask, but I can pretty much guarantee those numbers aren't flexible. Also, since you've done CSO IFS, it doesn't matter if you have a PPL or not, you won't go to Pilot IFS (I forget the reg that's written in but can find it if you'd like). So short answer, yes, it's unrealistic to apply prior to the 2/2.5 year mark. #3...that is a very subjective question and very dependent on who you're talking to about applying and more importantly HOW you're asking/talking about it. For your second post...the 10 year ADSC starts when you graduate UPT, so you wouldn't be able to get out at your 20 anyways, unless you VSP (ha, good luck). It won't slowroll your application timeline at all, but once the application hits the board (depending on who is sitting on the board) they certainly might take that into account when it's you vs shiny new LT.

I'm willing to bet it's not as ridiculous as the "SAPR obstacle course" we recently had during SAPR/Wingman day. I could barely contain my excitement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We can put any data we want onto out issued iPads as long as it's not classified or porn. Affirm on wifi/safari/email, we actually just added wifi in the sqdn for use with the iPads. That is a ridiculous policy for settings/locking. And by ridiculous I mean stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our pilots use that for our full size iPads in the gunship, they work pretty well. Every now and then (aka towards the end of 10 hour sorties) it fails but that's the exception. I use the same mount on my iPad mini when I fly on my own and it works awesome, especially with Foreflight and not Phaero. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's bitch about the BX here!
Most of this time, I'd agree with you. But there are a handful done correctly I think. I'd shop at the Eglin BX way before I'd go to the Pensacola NEX (even assuming distance wasn't a factor). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
