Smart move...a PRF & promotion board for LTs was complete BS. I'll give Welsh credit.
-
Yeah, no kidding. Having all those people trample on their gravesite pisses me off. I wonder who the American was in the last minute of the video.
-
Those pictures were hard to look at. Prayers go out to the families. This has been a real shitty week!! Stay safe out there brothers.
-
Very hard to watch. They definitely gave their all the whole way down. Very sad.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. However, commanders using it as a way to dole out DPs won't.
-
I'm willing to bet that it won't be long until someone turns these fuck-tards in. Over/under I'm thinking is 5 days.

I'm just saying that it takes time to un-fuck years of misplaced priorities. Throw in shit like budget sequestration, and it's going to take a while...longer than just a year. You can be critical all you want, but I would reserve judgement towards the 2nd half of a guy's term. I've had the pleasure of meeting & talking with Gen Welsh a couple times since he's taken office, and can say he has the pulse of the people...more so than previous. Is he a miracle worker that can change EVERYTHING for the better in a year, or four? Probably not, but he'll steer the ship towards the right direction. The CSAF will & always will be part politician...just the nature of the job.

Bunch of haters...give the man a break. He's the best we've had in a long while.

Very true...I'm not normally a puker, however sitting in the back as self-loading cargo, it wouldn't take me long. Especially when sub-stellar pilots are attempting receiver AR.
-
Just curious, has anyone done correspondence courses from some of the other services (of the IDE variety)? If so, what was the pain factor?
-
I know, separate topic, but the AF needs to shit can the whole PRF deal for promoting to Captain. It's just stupid.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one looks at dream sheets for casual & UPT assignments. Back in the day I had Cannon on mine for casual (I had family there) and I totally counted on going there since no one in their right mind would request that---they then gave me Eglin. Go figure. I then requested Laughlin, Vance, and Columbus for UPT---they then gave me Moody. I'm glad it happened the way it did though because casual in an F-15C unit was pretty sweet, as was living by the beach as a 2LT, and flying a brand spanking new trainer. Not to mention it was nice getting 3 weeks off after we finished T-6s so we could move to either DLF or CBM.

Oh, I believe it. He's been promising his vector soon, and I honestly believe he'll choose to mask the degree. It just makes sense...besides, there might not be TA for much longer.
-
You know, if CSAF decides to mask the AAD for promotion boards, it still doesn't get masked from your WG/CC (the guy who hands out the DP/P). He also sees the completion year.
-
Yeah, Megan Kelley showed her true intelligence level today. After they figured out it wasn't the C-21, she said they were flying by the tower to show they what good landing gear looks like. We all now know why Fox hired her. From the news feed...Yup, looks like the gear is jacked up to me

Sounds very similar to a guy that PCS'd from our squadron. Still waiting for O-6 intervention though.
-
Just watched the episode...very well done. I have the utmost respect for those guys. Looking forward to next week's show.
-
Doesn't surprise me, as the media has had a renewed hard on for CIA drone strikes with Brennan's confirmation.

https://www.airforcetimes.com/mobile/news/2013/02/military-new-medal-for-drone-pilots-outranks-bronze-star-021313 I'm all for recognizing the accomplishments of UAV "drivers" for what they do, especially since they aren't in a cockpit, however awarding a medal that outranks the Bronze Star is a little much I thinks.

Wait a minute. I thought they were called "Peter pockets"?
