I also wonder if the people that had previously been passed over will lose the indicator on their SURFs that it had happened since this O-3 PRF process is canx'd.... for now.

I took all of my travel vouchers to MPF. I had short tour credit in about 15 min.

Yes. Thought the same thing.

Not a rumor--confirmed.

Maybe the fact that it's a JOINT reg... As in, above the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force...

Same thing as a NAF? Nerd.

It's ridiculous that there is a diversity reg. Can we just leave it at that?

Ugh.

Fair enough.

I don't doubt there are one or two here and there, but my understanding is this is non-standard.

And how many second year FOs do you know flying for a legacy carrier on a wide body?

Dude. Just stop.

Don't worry--he'll be put out to pasture soon for thinking logically and not following the herd.

So can commanders be more restrictive with that reg too and actually limit diversity?

All the more reason to punch. I can remember being all bright-eyed about the Air Force, but it's turned into more of a place of employment than some kind of noble career. When you look at it that way, and given the RIFs, budget issues, and shitty deployments I'd just assume be employed elsewhere.

The heart of the usaf's problem, ladies and gentlemen: Complete lack of faith in our "leaders".

No, it's fine. They could lose their income, but still pay off all those things that are financed and pay them off because they "have" the money, but just chose to finance... To, you know, get a higher credit score or get some 1% rebate or something. Give me a break. If you are paying on it, you don't own it. That includes stuff you pay for with a credit card. I don't care when you pay it off. All of those points and rewards do the square root of fuck-all to your net worth. I'd go so far as to say they will ultimately negatively impact it. But what do I know... Apparently I'm the one that can "control myself" with money enough to borrow from a third party for something I could just pay for in cash. I seriously LOLed at that. Young guys: if you are reading this thread, you are trying to maximize your income to secure a comfortable retirement. Owing people money, even for a "short" time and even if you can "afford" it does not contribute to your net worth. Millionaires don't get to where they are and say, "Man, those credit card rewards really helped me get here." They got there by living within their means, which means they did not BORROW MONEY. It continues to blow my simple mind as to why this such a difficult concept to grasp.

Aren't you a Guard guy?

There is more to "career progression" than upgrades.... But, Stiffler makes a great point. And I'll bet you'll have a great time.

How is this "WTF" material?

Finally.... The post I've been waiting for since this thread was started 28 pages and almost six years ago. Although, it is a link from the AF Times fish wrapper, so I fully expect the article to be incorrect or, at best, exaggerated.

Oh, good. Another idealistic "we're gonna free the shit out of you" war. Because that's what we need right now.

Back in Dec 2010 I really thought we were going to head over there and put nK's teeth to the curb and stomp on the back of their skull. Seemed to fizzle out as quickly as it escalated though.

So.... was his first act to disband the CGOC or what?

Restarting nuclear facilities: https://www.cnn.com/2013/04/02/world/asia/koreas-tensions/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 I hope this fatshit realizes that, somewhere out there, is a line he does not want to cross. I think we are already dangerously close to where one errant NoDAK shot could resurrect a pretty devastating conflict.
