Same...I'm receiving the first part of my plane kit tomorrow. Not an RV though.
What are you building?

The T6 SPO apparently had two SES fired.

So I can be wise on that literature, can you post a source on "significantly higher risk of suicide"?
I ask only because in the past when it comes to the military admission, folks have used all sorts of "literature" to say things like blacks lacked qualities to make them combat effective personnel, women are unable to fly fighters, gays will somehow lack the adaptability to be open and rainbow.
Here is a better argument that may work for you, I do not like (insert new group trying to gain accepted status in the military) because it does not align with the cultural identity I wish to uphold. But hey maybe you actually have a done a lot of research on your "suicide" claim.
"Mortality from suicide was strikingly high among sex-reassigned persons, also after adjustment for prior psychiatric morbidity. In line with this, sex-reassigned persons were at increased risk for suicide attempts. Previous reports [6,8,10,11] suggest that transsexualism is a strong risk factor for suicide, also after sex reassignment, and our long-term findings support the need for continued psychiatric follow-up for persons at risk to prevent this. "
Easy find on google scholar.

Well the previous administration pushed transgender policy down the departments throat despite the services medical standards experts saying this was unwise. There is evidence in the medical literature that transgender folks have a significantly higher risk of suicide over the general population. And given the suicide problems the department has and the resources devoted to suicide prevention I can not understand why the department would accept that risk.

Are there any people out here in the medical field? I'm looking to get my dmd, I'm currently a dental assistant. Any dentist or doctor students out there?? How are you balancing school and the air force reserves? Is the afr accommodating to students who want to be in the medical field(s)?? What base (s) do they try and send you to? I'm trying to attend Howard in D.C.
Thanks.
I joined the ANG during the internship of my Family Medicine residency. The Guard was very flexible but my program was too and allowed me to participate in UTA weekends. I was able to get good years in each of the three years I was in residency training. I don't know how flexible the AF Reserves will/can be.
I was even able to convince my residency program to credit me an "medical officer indoctrination" elective for OTS/COT.

I had to put a 172 down in a field once. It all worked out, didn't bend anything. The field was a cow pasture and the owner arrived about 10 minutes after we put it down and said he had just moved the cows off the field about an hour earlier. There were all of these deep depressions all over the field where the cows bedded down, I guess. We must have missed them all somehow because they were deep enough that I think it would have taken out the nose gear if we went over one. Anyway, I walked out to the road that ran along the field and looked down it. It was probably a mile long, straight as an arrow, no power lines and no signs on the sides....all I said was, WhyTF didn't I land on the road? Oh well, we walked away.
Why did you have to put it down? Was a cause determined?

An history of cryptorchidism (undescended testicle) is disqualifying for Flying Class I/IA, II, & III IAW line J51 of the Medical Standards Directory dated Nov 29, 2016.
The reason why is due to a 2-8 times increased risk of developing testicular cancer.
This is a DoD standard that applies to the Services IAW DoDI 6130.03.
1) You would need a waiver for appointment, enlistment, or induction into the military.
2) You would need a waiver for USAF aviation.
I would prior to the MEPS physical get a urologist to give my balls a good going over and a clean bill of health. You want a statement from said doctor that you have no pain or other problems with your junk. There needs to be a statement of other risk factors such as personal history of testicular cancer, family history of testicular cancer, Caucasian race, or any environmental exposures that would increase risk of testicular cancer.
Collect all records pertaining to your nut sack including the surgery to fix your hidden ball and take it to the MEPS. When the time comes do the same for the flight doc. No need for another Urologist visit prior to the flight doc visit though if done prior to MEPS.
I think a waiver is likely but will be a pain in ass. But you won't mind cause the joy of flying is on the other side of the nut roll.
The alternative is keep your mouth shut hoping you don't get caught and that your future flight docs catch the testicle cancer if it comes up later.
BTW, testicular cancer is usually painless but 30% have painful unilateral mass in the cancer nut.

I'm a doc and I'd say declare it & provide the records.
Not but a couple years ago the son of a family friend (recently retired Army pilot) forgot a similar event at school. Mom took him to ER just to make sure he was okay. He later got into BMT and was going to be a boom operator but at the FC III exam it was determined he had this event (military dependent thus AF had the records). The civilian (retired AF flt doc) thought he was evasive when questioned about it and thus recommended a DQ without waiver for head injury and fraudulent enlistment.
Family called me and I gave the kid the benefit of doubt and called the decision authority. Was no use as the decision authority who was a flight doc and former pilot felt strongly this was an integrity issue that had implications beyond head injury. Basically ARMA unsat. Kid was devastated when sent home and having completed essentially all of BMT short of graduating. He probably was coded be AFPC to prevent any future attempts to enter service.

No waivers required for incentive flight of non aviators. The flight doc will do an incentive flight physical and determine if you can fly. Sometimes folks are cleared to fly with restrictions such as limiting G loads or altitude restrictions.

Don't worry, things aren't that much better for the rest of the DoD.
IT trouble tickets are backed up 7-8 months out because of a new (cheaper) contracting company that came onboard last year. Many machines and VTCs don't work, the only way to get something fixed in a timely fashion is via the bro-network.
We had a vosip phone trouble ticket submitted on Nov 4, 2016. I called one night to check in it in March and was told the trouble ticket was closed because the airman that submitted it PCSd. After I recovered from my aneurysm I had to walk in to the J6 (AF SES) deputies office the next duty day and plead for help. It got fixed but it should not take begging.

The devil is in the details, the services handle things differently which drives thrash.
Also I recall from my days when JBSA stood up there was no cost savings. We spent enough money there to build a new base consolidating medical training at Ft Sam.

In fairness though it was nice to know you had your physical synced to your birth month as a lieutenant. It's a bit harder, sts, now that the date of expiration is 455 days after the last flight physical.

Eh, I knew Obama would eventually go away. He was like a bad version of Windows. He'd eventually be replaced.
I'm more excited about finally getting rid of that nasty Clinton virus. In the past, it seemed like, just when you thought you got rid of it, it popped up somewhere else. Out of the White House, then into the Senate. Then the State Department, then it tried to get back into the White House.
Thankfully, not only does it seem like we finally got rid of the virus on our system, it looks like we've been able to disinfect it out of existence.
Ever heard of herpes?

How about concealed carry reciprocity for AD service members stationed in IL but residents of other states. The Governor or his staff doesn't answer his emails.

Al Jaber AB, Kuwait deployed supporting OSW. AlphaSigOU spoke of the Tulsa ANG jets flying back home which is a story in itself, but much of the 125FS was at Al Jaber. I was walking through ops and saw a few folks congregating around the TV showing the feeds after the first tower was hit. I was there to see the second tower get hit and then it became clear this was no accident.
That night, the base had every light in the place ordered on and I can remember helos patrolling the areas around the base. The following nights we were ordered into blackout conditions until our redeployment back to he States.

No, I'm saying the example you gave isn't as simple as "I drive a truck so I'm a rapist". The example given from the slides leans more to, "My family requires a vehicle suitably large enough to carry us all and I decided to buy a truck for my desires, not the needs of my family". It really has nothing to do with SAPR at all.
The link is no workie now but based on the example I'm a real dirt bag for owning a truck and a light aircraft that can't fit my whole clan.

Lots of ways to address this question. But the short answer is: sure it's been discussed, but as BuddaSixFour has pointed out, highly skilled technical organizations have spent trillions of dollars developing software and it's still buggy. The gov't and/or one of it's contractors isn't going to do better...
This cyber stuff moves too fast for development the USAF way. Look at the problems w/ the F35 software and that's a very specific set of design parameters. Now imagine that for everyone's different set of desktop boxes and the USAF/DoD directing the fix. We'd lose a few GDPs worth of cash w/ nothing to show.
We did this in medical with the electronic health record called AHLTA and it's widely despised. The AF Surgeon General stated it was the John Deer tractor on the information super highway. It has cost in excess of 4 billion and due to the way we have to program money to fix and update we can't keep up. This was a DoD platform and it's now getting dumped (online since 2006ish) for a commercially contracted platform.

McDew stated over the last two days he was not chosen to be the CSAF. He said he would remain at TRANSCOM.

stuckindayton is correct regarding what trained asset means in relation to USAF aeromedical standard/waivers

This. I have no problem with people playing the game within the rules regardless of how retarded the rules are
Does the VA system need to be reformed? Absolutely. But you're barking up the wrong tree if you think we need to "take one for the team"
When Uncle Sam is offering up the bennies.
Anyone else see the irony in how ed up the VA system is when to my knowledge it's currently the only Government run healthcare system? I can't wait until every hospital system is this dysfunctional under obamacare.
The VA is not the only gov run healthcare system in the USA. The Indian Health Service and the Military Health System are federal systems. However, I get your point.
WTF? (**NSFW**)
