  1. Exactly what I was thinking
  2. WRT guard/reserve help; I agree with making the guard/reserve units that are already flying drones more active in order to fill gaps... Explain. Many are already 24/7/365.
  3. On the recommendation of the WG leadership, then ATAG.
  4. Not something we have been stressing ourselves. Nothing has come down at our Wing other than seeing an e-mail for current O-5s that do not have a Masters to be eligible for ACSC Masters course.
  5. Have not heard a single word on ANG invols
  6. What predetermined route?

    Dude only has 1600 hrs? Doesn't that seem a little light?
  8. It has been a while

    Is flying the plane that bad?

    So current O-5 Guard guy is definitely out?

    Bought one for my wife as well.

    Not particularly. Had recently shot the 42 and it felt comfortable.

    Just bought a Glock 42 for concealed carry. I think I'm gonna like it.
  14. Likely, but with the schedule we are doing, I'll be working less. My kids are small enough that weekday or weekend, doesn't really matter.
  15. I'm a full-timer. We have been doing the job deployed for almost 3 yrs- most traveling once a month for at least a week at a time. This sucks! I'm gone more now than when we were Herks- 120 days last year, and that's on the lower end compared to many others. We hope this will be done by end of the month. But the pay opportunities for the part-timer are crazy compared to my bumming days. I would have killed for the amount of pay days that are available now. As a full-timer, I'm looking forward to the homestation ops. No more terrible 12's- 12 straight days of work when we have drill wknd. The schedule is going to be much more palatable and I'll get to spend more time with my family.
  16. Bumming in an RPA unit could be fruitful. It appears to be much better than when I was bumming in a Herk unit.

    This now officially confirms Chang's troll status.
  20. If you do this, you also need to go down the road a few mins and see the German cemetery. Stark contrast to the American one.
  21. And it's an AE SQ at that!
  22. Bumming is extremely easy. SQ dependent on length of orders, but no problem keeping guys paid. Scheduling is also unit dependent.
  23. 2 of our last 4 have become a SQ/DO and a SQ/CC. Current one will likely be one in the future. I forgot about our Vice Wing CC, he was also the XP about 8 yrs or so ago.
