Railway Labor Act petition
Yup...wasn't a dig. Copy shot, poorly worded on the "for a fighter pilot" part. I never learnt to speak good!

Railway Labor Act petition
Company tries to fuck you in the ass. This petition is an attempt to force them to use lube. That's about as caveman as I can make it for a fighter pilot. The Dragging of the feet is by the company, not the pilots. So you are correect, it's not a good practice for the pilots but a great one for the company.

Tac, Glock already offers a damn good mil/LEO discount. See below. You can also get almost all of the Glocks for $399 (fixed sights...up to $460 with night sights) with their mil discount. There is no min number of purcheses to get the discount either. Go to the glock website, click on military, then find a dealer. Enter your zip and click on LE dealer. That will get you the LE dealer nearest you as not all dealers can offer the mil/LEO discount. Or you can order direct from Glock...wait time is ridiculous right now. I found this website on another forum. It has the pricing for Glocks/Sig/S&W. https://www.vancesle.com/category.cfm/le/firearms

You can verbally kick me in the junk if you've already seen this. SIG mil discount. They also do a "squadron buy" type program. https://www.sigsauer....002-06-2013.pdf

Hmmm...I could have sworn I saw the phase, "I've got him on the fish finder," in there somewhere!

Didn't they go after USAFA guys when their commitments we cut short? Nothing would surprise me.

Ok, I have to ask...what the fuck does "rogered up" mean? It's like the term "you tracking?" who the fuck uses this shit?These two terms are way more annoying than any stupid shit I hear on the radio.

Apparently having "good hands" no longer matters....
Ummm....what? Something about a PAR and a F-14 driver getting mad props.

Man, you guys are a bunch of ate up mother fuckers! T-6 assignments for all of you! About the only time I get pissed at comm, is if we're in a stack, about to employ, and extraneous comm is hindering our ability to drop. Other than that, you can say whatever the fuck you want.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
If that's your argument, then the answer to his question should have been yes. Or you could just be less of an asshole. Edit: I see you edited your post... That sucks. No. Are you saying that no one can get the bonus on any airframe? Or that no one is getting hired at any airline?

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
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.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
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.

Thanks MAV!- Non-Availibility lodging/letter
Why would he? Unless he is SQ/CC douchenozzle...- Gun Talk
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...- Gun Talk
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.- Gun Talk
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.- Gun Talk
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.- Gun Talk
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. https://www.gunbroker.com/FFL/DealerNetwork.aspx - Chief of AF Sexual Assault Prevention Branch at Pentagon Arrested for Sexual Assault
