Bottle for the bar
Keep the tradition alive and bring one. Give it to the person that greets/hosts you when you get there. Keep it simple. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Days of availability guard/reserve
I never heard any real discussions on “DNIF coverage” over my 29 yrs in the ANG. If someone went DNIF, someone else would, as you said, fill in or a canx. Of the 3 units I was in, only 1 had a commute distance requirement and that was due to the alert mission. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Days of availability guard/reserve
The unit I retired from has a 1 hr commute distance for crew, and it has nothing to do with DNIF coverage. It allows alert to be pulled at home. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

F-35 Lightning info
I was Aeromedical Evacuation when I was enlisted a long time ago. When we had head injuries on board, we would request the lowest possible cabin altitude from the flight crew. BigRed is correct in that it has to do with intercranial pressures. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Haiti thread - to intervene or not...
It’s a definite shithole. One of the dirtiest places I have ever been. But it could be a great vacation place if anyone cared about it, especially the local population. I remember the amount of trash in the harbor back in 94. You could barely see the water. But the potential is there. I haven’t been there since the earthquakes, so I can only imagine that things have gotten worse. A total wasteland is what comes to mind when I think of Haiti.

Haiti thread - to intervene or not...
I remember going there in 94 to oust Cedras and reinstall Aristide. My 4 month Haitian Vacation. Didn’t work out then. Not sure it would be any different now. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Retirement / Separation Considerations
I was told by my rep that I had to wait until I was 6 months from retirement. So I did and had no problems getting it all done. I used someone that had retired from the unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
