Print out the email exchange that says they moved the date on you. If they charge you leave, take it up with the new finance office.

You don't even have to have previously flown T-6s to teach them at PIT. You just have to be a former AETC IP. There are T-6 IPs at Randolph that are qualified because they flew instructed in Herks at the schoolhouse. A little ridiculous if you ask me, but they didn't.

I'm going to regret this.

If you were born in the 80s and don't go see Jurassic World in the theater, you're wrong. I was afraid the whole trained velociraptor thing would be stretched, but it wasn't.

https://militaryadvantage.military.com/2015/05/dual-service-couples-could-see-housing-allowances-slashed/ Are you a mil-to-mil couple? You could be losing half of your BAH. No, it's not Obama stealing your cash, it's McCain's idea. As a mil-to-civ guy who gets jealous of two married captains raking in the cash, I think this is a ridiculous idea. It's like the congressmen were sitting around the table saying, "How can we reduce retention even more? Hmmm, how about cutting the salary of much of our force by upwards of $15k a year?"

I don't think that's starting from nothing. I need the 30 hrs of ground instructions, and 10 hours of sims because I'm lazy and didn't do the written. However, I wouldn't be opposed to doing all 46.5 hours in 4 days. That averages out to 37.5 minute days shorter than I'm working now. It'd be a mini vacation.

Where can I get the ATP now... starting from zero?

The video is pretty obvious. It fails to cover, however, if one or (especially) both parties are intoxicated. That's the real gray zone.

A year dealing with AfPak culture issues and then do it again? I'd be 190% considering 3-day opt.

They could have just given everyone in the military $4 and told them to use it for a burger, fries and drink off Burger King's dollar menu. I would have been happier with that.

Well, as long as a JSTARS is involved, my job is secure. I'll vote for that.

Sounds decent, but what the hell is a point worth?

That's enough internet for today.

My favorite part of that class was when the instructor asked the class if it's ever OK to call a woman a bitch. One guy immediately said (very loudly), "Yeah. If she's being a bitch." I about lost it.

I speak Jive and Caveman, let me translate: Me like watches. Me have friend. Friend scared fly with me. Friend no want eject so me get watch.

TruGreen will also not stop calling you after you cancel service. I have 5 numbers from them that get auto blocked because they call at least 3 times a week even after I told them I moved to an area without service and don't even own a house anymore.

See below Yep. Tell me about it. I had an O-6 and several O-5s thinking the same thing. I even appealed, had it approved and then denied the day I started my drive to PIT. I'm taking every opportunity I can to get a paid vacation to San Antonio that I can though.

Yep, but not a place that can see my daughter. That's in San Antonio.

https://www.med.navy.mil/directives/externaldirectives/1300.2a.pdf Page 13. I can't find an AF reference, but the Navy says it must be within 2 hours normal driving time to health care services. Laughlin, that is not. According to Google Maps, that gets you to Castroville and that makes several people I know on unofficial accompanied remote assignments.

It's a completely different teaching style. Are you teaching your C-17 co-pilots how to chairfly? Have you ever had a student that's so bad that they need to chairfly by bouncing a tennis ball and talking about flying a straight in so they can force it into sub-conscience? You're also teaching 'essentially' civilians how to become officers. By the time they graduate, most of the officership issues should be taken care of. Also, I've seen the T-6 PIT IP that can't fly the airplane well. How much cred do you have as an instructor if you only have 60 hours in the jet and I can fly it better than you?

This... It blows my mind that it's possible. There's a big difference in teaching a winged dude with 200 hours and two airframes vs a guy that has zero hours and requires 68-70 reminders to click the trim nose up when he slows down over a 1.3 hr sortie.

What is the Spokane Water Survival pool like now? I was one of the last classes to go through with the old pool. I heard it's much more... realistic?

I thought that was a BFM tactic. Like a lizard that can shed its tail to distract a predator.
