C-21 info
I'm not sure either because that's the right altitude for direction of flight. Maybe he meant FL400.

Washington DC
Yes, the green line was a joke. Green line starts in MD, near Andrews, and you know how areas near bases are.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I agree...I honestly don't think many (if any) pilots will be released.

The dude is obviously a troll. No doubt.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
You are correct! I figured that out last year with the O-5 SERB. Those sons of bitches!

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I agree, all except DV airlift. Do we really want the lowest bidder to fly around our senior leaders (except maybe CODELs)? Not to mention losing the flexibility you would have from an AF crew. I could see a Netjet type operation not moving the mission because something wasn't in their contract.

Is the pre check on your boarding pass possible if you're using a mobile boarding pass?

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I wouldn't get your hopes up too high if you are eligible for the VSP...we all know what happened last time. Though there's gonna be a whole lot of card showin' soon!

Expedited TSA Screening for Active Duty Military Effective 20 Dec
I've used the TSA precheck a few times over the last year...felt great to not have to take off your shoes or jacket. I have though had to have my hands swabbed each time, but that's no biggie

Aviator's Joke of the Day
It's Chris Hansen...and you know him? From that time you had brought the 12 pack of Bud Light & box of condoms over to that "18 year old's" house?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
In the M-16 fam CBT they made us take before our ORI a few years ago, if you rapidly left-click it actually sounds like an M-16 firing!

Ever Considered Expating?
I think I would choose Creech over Cambodia. Have you ever been there?

Promotion and PRF Information
My AFPC functional said something to that effect, although I'm not sure how reliable he is.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Is this the IDE/promotion/PRF thread? I thought it was supposed to be about the bonus.

I'm pretty sure I know that guy.

I think you're on course on glide path with your assessment. I took the bait this year, and am definitely in one of your 20% categories.

C-17 4-engine flameout/SIB/FEB questions in here
If there is boldface, you should do it. However, I remember lessons early on in my career that mentioned something about being a "checklist monkey" and ALWAYS doing EXACTLY what the checklist says without any thought about what you are actually doing, which sometimes meant that you should think about what you were doing. I'm not saying you were right or you were wrong for doing what you did, but I applaud you for bringing it up, although I'm still unsure of your motives for doing so. Peeps will always Monday morning QB @ ground speed zero...

Me too.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
It's probably so low because Bob is still building packages. Mine is still showing status as 'Submitted' & I hit send late July.

I'm not so sure about that, as I swear I've seen MFRs in dudes' PRFs.

Cannon AFB
Funny. I actually requested Cannon for casual because I had family there, but ended up getting 10 months @ Eglin. Go figure.

PCS Bingo
It's definitely not standard, however when I was exec-ing-it I needed to add something to the checklist. I called FSS to see if they could add it for me, then get an email saying I had been granted full admin rights. Not surprising they would rather give me access to just do it myself so they wouldn't have to.
