Does it actually matter if a CC at any level denies it? I thought the final decision was at HAFPC regardless of what our CCs say.

Thanks. Recruiter told me 2-3 months but I assume the leadership change can't help the timeline.

How long has it been taking you guys for the scroll to go through?

Thanks for the info. Good luck to all of us. I assume the earlier we submit the better the chances. Right now they are focused on fighters and moral in bombers is "pretty darn good" so maybe we can sneak by before they realize.

Fuzz, you are correct. Maybe I was a little sensitive on the matter.

Technique, don't post pictures of sh!t until the SIB is done.

. Likely. You can only push it up at 1-2 Gs so much before engines start falling off.

I've seen that comment a lot this week, but all of us here should understand the significance and issues of an engine departing an airframe. Glad the guys were able to get the jet down safely.

Who were you working with and did referencing the above mentioned AFI matter at all? I'm in the exact same boat.

Thanks for the help from you guys here. ATP complete! I also highly recommend Downtown. Solid group there.

Taking my ATP with Downtown next week. If anyone has any nuggets of info they wish they would have had prior to their check there please shoot me a PM. From the discussions here I'm pretty to happy to check there. *

Prior to my AF days I had a C-172 flt with a buddy on a hot summer day. He started to feel sick and was going to puke in his nice camera bag. I stopped him and told him to crack the window open and let it rip. I learned a very important lesson that day. Every time he puked it created a cyclone of vomit in the cockpit. As I ducked down my neck, the windshield, and instrument panel were all covered in lettuce and other wonderful lunch items. That was the closest I came to puking in the -172..

He is a very very good dude. Family focused, realistic, wants to make change for the better and kill the red tape that holds us back. Sould be as good couple years in GSC as can be had in the nuke world.

Check out the Duxford imperial war museum and if near Cambridge stop by the eagle pub for a drink. Plenty of amazing history there.

I did a search and found nothing. In the market for a new primary flashlight to fly with on a crew a/c. Any recommendations out there? I'm looking to replace my old coast led with a new updated version http://www.coastportland.com/px20-led-flashlight.htm I figured there may be some new amazing flashlights out there that I have never heard of. Thanks *

Yeah I think that was just the one dude that got sent there as soon as he finished the FTU. I haven't heard of anymore.

Actually just take 3 vitamin I (imodium) and that should back you up for 33+ hours. That will prep you for the buff. No one craps in the jet.

When 96% of the time that jet returns with an IFE you start looking for options.

A guy in my community is pushing a Bremont. Looks like a sweet watch but the price of a Breitling. $2550 and add $375 if you want a metal band. I just finished a Chase Durer order and we are waiting for the watches. $399 for a mid-level watch and everyone that I've met that has one has liked it. I'll see in a few months when we get them but they look good.

2 days to a week usually over weekends.

In the Buff you can expect 6 month deployments soon with roughly a year back. In that year back you will have 1-3 exercises or inspections per month of the NORE/NORI, CORE/CORE, NSI flavor. We now send our people to both bases to participate in these.

Sitting in the jet the other day waiting for a fix and thinking about how you had to sometimes shake the tweet on engine start to get her to fire up. Had fun in that jet, especially the day we had 12 solo studs in the pattern. Glad I lived through that one. She'll be missed

Wow! Sory guys, didn't mean to upset anyone. Just thinking back to the days when they were talking about dropping UAV's to UPT studs and many people had the attitude of "Fvck that, I'll just SIE if I get one," and now they're droppin 5 to a class. But really, I hope the guys are ok. I still have some bros back at SPS. Oh and stretch back at ya man

maybe he's one of the 5 dudes that just got a uav dropped to him and is trying to wash out
