FS/CC major has already happened a few years ago. It’s been that bad for that long.
To be clear, he’s a patch and very capable, so this doesn’t reflect on him personally.
Is this in the F-16 community? In the F-15, all the CC’s are O-5s with about half of the DO’s as O-4s.
Anecdotally, the talent pool has shrank from years past since a lot of folks are getting out, more than I remember as a Capt.

If you're RA and leadership have half a clue thats the way to go.
I just ask my RA to do it and the Group Commander isn’t in my business as I run my squadron effectively in the manner in which I see fit. Pretty easy to negate the GTC issues.

Maybe I’ve been shielded by being in the fighter squadron, but every TDY I’ve been on I’ve been in mission critical status before and after. The last deployment I took my squadron on, I made sure we wouldn’t have to deal with any GTC shenanigans and put all the FS folks mission critical. Is that not usual?

The SIPR WSV of the intercepts and the collision are pretty amazing. Hopefully we declassify them ASAP to show that the Russians were lying when they said they didn’t hit the robot. Then again, it probably won’t matter…

Discipline withheld at one higher level maybe?
Something that 36-2907 or Military Commander and the Law might address...spitballin' here
Very likely this. Officer discipline in 15th AF is held by the NAF. Likely the case in whatever NAF owns Minot.

Target rich environment. How many AIM-9's do we have stockpiled?
'99 Red Balloons: US Air Base Launching Slew of Weather Balloons as Scrutiny Intensifies over Flying Objects:'
'The National Weather Service alone releases around 92 balloons every single day in the United States and its territories. They can float to altitudes of around 100,000 feet, according to the weather agency.'
How many -9Xs? The answer is not near enough

I’ve got a good friend who took a CSO bonus with UPT orders in hand and is still receiving the CSO bonus as a pilot. That was a few years ago but I know it was possible.
I’ve seen this 2-3 times in the Strike Eagle world.

11 Apr is the release date from the data I’ve seen.

And the garrison wings are going to staff these A-staffs with what bodies?
Yeah, that’s the issue. That hasn’t been figured out yet
-
Latest hotness from the CAF is that garrison Wings will have Group commanders and an separate A-Staff while in garrison, starting this year during a phase in period. AEWs will dispense with Group/CCs this summer and will only have A-Staffs, thus will be much like MH circa 2019.

Russian SAYS it is pulling troops back. Fixed it for you.
Google Maskirovka
100% all of this. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Putin is merely building a Potemkin village for us to see.

RTF from COVID at SPS has us taking an EKG a/o a few weeks ago. Anybody else? I wondered why
It’s part of the return to fly in ACC. Everyone has to do it, probably to make sure all is well before pulling G’s or flying in general.

Mosul on Netflix is worth watching if you have some spare time and are looking for a war movie. Pretty good depiction of brutal urban combat against ISIS. Plot was a little thin but was still overall a well done movie.
Agree. This was pretty ok

Pawnman is correct, it was both.

That clip was refreshing. Bravo

@Steve Davies At RAFL we would typically fly with a 5000’ transition altitude to allow for unlimited maneuvers above and 1000’ hard deck to allow for low altitude strikers. Below 5000’ you are limited maneuvering, only able to turn 180 degrees after a merge. We combine that with IMC rules (limited pitch and bank) when transiting cloud layers.

How many hours are pilots/WSOs coming out of F-15E B-course with? Curious how it compares to the F-16/F-35, as those jets are both AETC vs. ACC, and as close a comparison as possible regarding breadth of mission sets.
Hypothesis: ACC knows fighter business better, so why is AETC sticking its hands in the fighter pie with 2 of the 6 fighter MDS.
65-70ish hours for 2 graduates that did their F-15E MQ-BFM sortie today.

I’ve had nothing but good things to say about Vanguard for all my investments. I moved everything from USAA about 4-5 years ago based on Vanguard’s low fee scheme compared to USAA. Highly recommend vanguard.

Of course it can - and, as I originally posted, the info I have is it’s going to a five year window. Don’t care if you want to shoot holes in that information brother, do what you like. All I’m passing is that’s the brief I saw. Take it or leave it.

Chuck,
any idea if this applies to promotion to O-5 or O-6?

We got the jackets at RAFL in 2016/17 and have had rank sewn on the entire time. Same as other bases I’ve seen, everyone has rank sewn on.

The question I have is if she will be quietly retired in the next year or so. If AFSOC needs her to keep being the face of diversity and keeps her on then perhaps we’ve further lost our way.
-
The real question is why would you want to fly on a single engine?

What is the average percentage of school selects for the majors board? Nominally 20%?
Commanders are dropping like flies this year

Toxic leadership and uppity HPOs that don’t listen to direction/guidance and don’t know what followership means. Sounds like a slam dunk when it comes to getting rid of the wrong type of leaders.
