Would she have even crossed paths with the Blues? Their training seasons are both pretty busy and not really geographically convenient.

Go on...

https://www.foxnews.com/tech/f-35-air-to-air-missiles-can-now-hit-2-drones-at-once-changing-air-combat So many jokes to be made here with so little time but I'll give it a go: F-35's can now shoot half the targets of a Viper (the jet it's replacing) Now the F-35 can shoot it's AMRAAMs all at once.

I would argue it should be the same definition the leave reg uses which is outside your commuting distance to work.

You're no longer required it pass it... Or go past chart 'B' on the depth perception.

1. The GS is filled with BS but it's BS that you deal with on the clock. The only time I worked past my contacted work deal to deal with the BS I logged comp. By the way, I had more leave then I could use as a GS. 2. Buying back is a no brainier if you plan to stay in the GS system. That $15k it would have cost you is worth about $12k a year so you break even after 1 year of retirement. My dual retirement if I hang on that long will pay me about $80k a year. 3. Valid but I'm sure your wife will appreciate that extra money at 80 when you can no longer wipe your own ass but can easily afford a high school drop out to do it for you. Of course if you go airlines after AD you could afford a past her prime swedish bikini model. 4. I took a pay cut to go AGR. Assuming the tech bonus stays around, the pay is pretty good. Take the bonus away and it's not worth it. For someone that doesn't want to go airlines, the tech world really isn't a bad option.

"The Air Force wants to leverage artificial intelligence, automation and algorithmic data models to streamline opportunities for airmen watching drone feeds." It's finally happening...

1. Don't waste your money. 2. Not all stress is bad. 3. I hear people don't wash out of UPT anymore.

My money is on the abbreviated syllabus that ends with an FEB at sometime before BFM-5.

A small part of why I love the Viper...

I'm an ANG technician. GS-13. $114,000 as tech plus 28,000 tech bonus, plus 24,000 DSG, plus 12,000 sitting alert. No commitment, no 365's, no 179's. Come home every night. Don't sign the bonus, go Guard.

Your problem is that you're not doing ACSC at work where it should be done.

I'm a technician and have been getting random LES' for $10 and some change for the last month. I can finally fit into those airline conversations about how thousands of dollars randomly show up for profit sharing...

Perhaps no one has told them that tops in blue has been disbanded. Anyone care to shatter their dreams?

The only US 52s on AD are already at Nellis. You can put a 229 in a 42.

Bet they ask for one from the FTU

In the immortal words of Snooze, "being a fighter pilot won't get you pu$$y no more." And also Top Gun is really old. The kids these days were born in the late 90's. They don't even understand the SNL reference... ICEMAN - The Later Years - watch more funny videos

Ugh. Just go away.

You sound like an SOS instructor. And the lethality of the USAF is decreasing every day you fail at retaining experienced pilots while forcing those who are staying to do every job but tactical protecting American and her interests job.

Two thoughts on this weeny. First is he hasn't the slightest clue about how the Air Force accomplishes its mission. Sure, he's been to the Maxwell think tank that has taught him how air warfare is conducted, by people who have never actually accomplished the mission. If he did have a clue, he'd understand why pilots are complaining and not just resort to name calling. Second, I can't wait for this guy to get a taste of corporate America. His approach to management will bankrupt any company he works for. Successful companies know how to treat their talent since they are what makes the company successful. The USAF has it easy. Their talent isn't demanding insane pay, afternoon naps, hover boards, company cars or bowls of jelly bellies with all of the green ones picked out. We simply want to be able to do the one job we're trained to do better with a better QOL. Chang, I refuse to believe that when the USAF has tons of information on how to help retention they would rather just say F-it, let it roll and do nothing, rather than make meaningful changes that will keep tactical experience. Oh wait, never mind, it does make sense now that I think about it.

OG told us that a DSG bonus was all but approved...amount unknown. He did some digging and found out technicians would be eligible. Said it would be in FY 15. This was several months ago and haven't heard any updates since.

Any SA on the rumored DSG bonus?

So you are ok with terrorists, drug cartels, violent gangs, criminals, hosts of diseases, etc legally immigrating to our country? Because that's what is happening right now. The money would not be spent on the broken process if I were king...sorry, president. It would be spent on securing our borders which is totally different. Legislation is what takes care of the process and the only cost of that is what we pay for the clown show.

Why the hell should I care about an non-U.S. citizen's goals? I care about defending and protecting our country and citizens. Since when did we put Americans on the back burner? I would gladly increase the border patrol's budget to increase their capabilities to hold the line. There are only a few thing that the Federal Gov't is responsible for and border security is certainly one of them. I am not against immigration, just abusers who get here illegally, suck our resources and send them back home. Obama wants to spend so many billions on these immigrants, what about our own poor? What about our own unfortunate, out of work citizens. What about cleaning up our problems first before we build a resort complex for the citizens of other countries? I think anyone that is overly compassionate for these people need to look first at our own citizen who could use that same level of help.
