I didn't see anything in his post about TR, just if he could get the bonus in the Guard/Reserve. I know quite a few dudes that have rolled right off AD into AGR spots.

What he said. We have several dudes on the bonus, both 2 year (15k) and 4 year (25k). Edit: clarity.

Why wait? I'll put my money on a higher than normal rate of descent upon landing. Boom, safety report done...lets go to the bar. Edit: Even says it in the article, which we know anything put on the Internet has to be true.

True story. Have already had a few friends hired by majors this year.

So let me get this straight...women aren't always telling the truth when they claim they were sexually assaulted? Bitches be crazy!

Thanks MAV!

Why would he? Unless he is SQ/CC douchenozzle...

So I want to order direct from Glock but their paperwork requires a copy of a military ID. I'm fairly certain that this is NOT one of the exceptions to the rule, that we can't make copies of our ID. Has anyone dealt with this? Just want to make sure before I talk with Glock directly about this. Edit: did a search and this was already discussed. Or my last weekend...

One of them was just worried about selling to someone who isn't legally allowed to own a gun, I guess. I think it's so they will sleep better at night, to be honest. I don't worry about it because I don't sell my guns...just buy more! And it just got a whole lot of gay up in here! Must talk guns...Considering picking up my first Glock soon. Have never been a fan, but I do like the looks of the compact gen4. Thinking of the 32, have wanted a .357 sig for a while.

I know many people who have done this. It's just a way to CYA and you charge the buyer the 20 bucks for the transfer.

Depends on your status. There is a breakdown on the Glock site on who is eligible. If you're retired then yes. Not sure about if you got out and are no longer on IRR. You could probably sell it online for what you paid, maybe more. Then go buy on at the mil price, if eligible.

FFLs are generally easy to find and you should be able to get a transfer for <25-30 bucks. If you check out the link I posted above, you can see the MIL/LEO discounted prices. I'm not sure which Glock you picked up but you can get a Glock 23 Gen 4 (.40 S&W) for $399. Go to Glocks website and in the upper right hang quarter there is a find dealer by zip code container. Once that pops up, click on the LE dealers tap to find a place close to you. Not all Glock dealers can offer the MIL/LEO discount. Find a local FFL here. http://www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx

http://www.vancesle.com/category.cfm/CurrentPage/1/le/firearms/brand/ALL I'm sure there are more around but here is a website I stumbled upon, that has a separate website for LEO/MIL prices. Of course, every gun I want has been "temporarily out of stock" for a while. Hopefully the idiots will stop buying up everything known to man soon, so we can get back to collecting/shooting our guns.

Talk about hyperbole! You said, no one cares about this, when clearly they do. I'm not arguing that it's destroying mission effectiveness.

You and me both!

I think he's referring to the fact that flying an airliner is relatively easy work (it is). Also, when you're home, you don't even think about work, I know I don't. I don't know anyone that is gone 15 days/month (that doesn't want to be). Most of our guys bid reserve and sit on the porch while "working," rarely getting called. We have quite a few part timers that are contractors or some sort of businessmen. Most of them are on the road quite a bit, they all seem to have platinum status... Also, when they're on a TDY, as soon as we get done with work, they're in their hotel room on the computer working their other job. A few of them have apps in at the airlines. If you've found a job paying 150+ (in a place that doesn't have a ridiculous cost of living), that keeps you home every night, then more power to you. I'm not going to say the airlines are the end all, be all. I will always keep an ear to the ground for good gigs (outside of flying) out there. Just pointing out some observations I have seen in my little corner of the world. Just give him your cash and he will get you first in line!!!

Ya, the AF cares so little that they created a website, and a reg. Have you looked around? http://www.af.mil/diversity.asp Ya, because a careerist would ever tell someone to go study anything related to their real job...fllying. They're more likely to tell them to read stupid ass regs like this!

Had a college friend get hired by United last week. My current airline has recently lost a few to US Air as well. But you're right, I highly doubt anyone is making 97k their first year...Maybe year two. All bets are off for the FedEx guys...year two is ridiculous. Edit: totally missed your latest reply. All of our guys hired in the last wave, got the 75/76 right out of training. FWIW...I was in a Delta jumpseat a week ago, and from the Captain (who had recently attended training) The latest numbers from Delta were 60/month for the first 6 months of 2014, then 20/month. Take that with a grain of salt.

If someone lets their fear of failing UPT keep them from trying, it probably wasn't for them anyway.

Spoo...did you eat paint chips as a kid? More WTF!

No, it's 59 easy payments and 1 really fucking hard one (STS).

Well we have to be "more fair" to certain groups, if not, that would be discrimination...

Not even for fini flights! When you're on state property, you play by state rules. I know of at least 3 states with the same rule. It also doesn't help when the Army is part of your chain of command.

STS... I thought it was rather well played.
