It would also have to go hand-in-hand with a decree from HAF that the Masters is once again masked. Masking it alone isn't going to solve it. People will be paranoid and still go get it for fear that one day, the "next guy" will come in and unmask the AAD, leaving some poor suckers without a chair when the music stops. Masking it AND saying "no more TA to get BS degrees" sends a much more clear message, and one that would be much more difficult to reverse down the road. Cutting TA would make it very difficult for upper management to tout the AF as the "most educated" force, though.

Crickets...

Not what he was talking about.

Pure gold right there.

Sage advice. Thanks for saving me the typing. If you have to cash in retirement accts to fund a mortgage down payment, you're doing it wrong.

This.

Aren't there writing assignments and discussion board posts?

Change of heart?

Congrats and thanks for your service. I don't know I'll be able to take 20 years of this nonsense, so much respect to you for gutting through it.

Do you like calling it a day at 3:30?

This just proves how ridiculous the policies are! You're telling me that in two weeks your wife's physical fitness increased so dramatically that she went from a "fail" to a 90? Or was it that the test she failed was such a crock for whatever reason and then turned around and got a 90 two weeks later. GMAFB. Did she have other "life issues" that caused her to fail?

Completely agree, but I am not surprised at all that it happened given our current insane culture. Funniest thing I've read all week. Seriously, LOL. Thanks for that.

Is your head really that deep in the sand?

This. But then how could upper mgmt brag that we are the "most educated" force?

I'm sure it was.... but we have all met those people that get just a little too excited about that kind of stuff.

Wow dude.

Too good to be true.

Even the "fly" days are painful sometimes because I know how much shit is piling up while I'm away.

Some days that's easier to do than others.

Signature block worthy.

It's built into the noise cancelling device. Standard stereo jack.

Yep, love them. Squadron issued them a year or so ago. Much more durable than the other Bose ones (Aviation X?)

Closed last month on a re-fi to 3.25 with no closing costs. Worked with Amy Paterson. Nothing but good to say.

Agreed that this site is a valuable resource, but when you get called onto the carpet would you really rather say "I heard it from some dudes on BODN" vs "I cleared it through OGV (or whoever)". I'm no old head, but I've been doing this long enough to know that if something is vague and it is difficult to get a straight answer, it is in your best interests to proceed on the conservative side.

Pretty sure it is in 11-401.
