@nsplayer OPRs do count now. We have had them sent back from JFHQ and told to rewrite them. It all depends who is running JFHQ on what weight they carry. Current group puts A LOT of emphasis on them, so wordsmithing is huge. I hate playing that stupid game, but we don't have a choice now. Luckily our guys are doing great things with no shit numbers that seem to baffle the head shed. Can't argue with facts. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

The saying goes "API 8, the flying is great!" Not sure about the retraining part of your question. Call NGB HRO and ask. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

That training means nothing in the RPA world. Do some more research on the mission to understand what is and what isn't needed. If you are around those units, ask the bros. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

All ANG flying slots are Maj slots. With that being said, you will need your PME for promotion. I was the pilot hiring dude and a mid to senior Capt was our hiring wheelhouse. We typically only took junior Majors. You have to have think about retainability, because we do. We have to worry about force mgmt, so we will do our best to avoid being too top heavy.

Are you able to make it a comprehensive list of boards? There are other units besides fighters hiring. I'm changing the title of the thread to not be misleading. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Speaking of Pops , what is the current status of The Alley and getting to Pops' store? The store was awesome and had plenty of leather goods. Also bought one of their leather barn jackets. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

My Pops jacket looks exactly like it did 10 yrs ago when I bought it. Had to replace zipper when some of the teeth were ripped out a few years back. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Took all of 8 or 9 days for him to go public. And W was silent for 8 yrs. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I did a 2 year non flying embassy gig and it was awesome. Actually, I kept flying at my home unit, but travel was on me. I will second everything said above. Embassy life was pretty sweet. I had a staff of foreign nationals and driver. I was treated like a king when I visited the host nation Mil bases. I actually met my wife there. She was State Department. We hung out with the same group of folks, started dating, and we got married about a year after getting back. I would highly recommend it if the opportunity presents itself, especially if it's a flying gig. Herkbum Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Did you get a checkride in a fixed-wing airplane at primary, T-6 or T-34? If so, you are GTG. If not, you'll likely have to go to UPT. We recently hired a Marine MV-22 bubba. Took right at a full year before we were able to swear him in. So, if interested, get the process started as soon as you know you are going to pull the trigger. Have a plan to support yourself for at least a yr during the process. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

And how is this Trump's fault? Just because he accepted the resignation? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

And this surprises who? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It goes off duty location, i.e. where your base is located Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Every time I put the base zip code in, it says insufficient something or another use a 5 digit code. What did you use? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I do not. Check with your MDG, they may have some insight. Ours went out to SD and did some clinics for the Native Americans and to Bulgaria to help some remote villages. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Most of the situations you describe, that I am aware of, are done in conjunction with OCONUS deployments such as the State Partnership Program. All are Humanitarian Assistance projects that the host COCOM funds. The ones I know of here in CONUS were done as part of an Annual Training, most of them by the MDG.

Also stumped by the question. If you were in my unit, the answer would be "no". Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

We have heard about a TR/extended orders bonus for RPA units. Does anyone have any insight into this? We are researching, but curious if any bubbas are getting it or have some knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Not a FAIP, just curious. Price? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

We knew, I guess we need some parity. But you will likely get lonely. And BTW, come pick up your clothing issue stuff-it's crowding up my office! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
