Appealing a promotion board
Come on dude, don't be THAT Guard guy! Don't worry my friend, the queep/bs spigot has turned from slow drip to a steady stream, and is only getting worse. I have seen my OPRs go from what you have described above, to shit that would water any boards eyes. Total BS, but apparently someone is taking note and the shit is becoming more important. We have our fair share of BS, just a different flavor of BS! It probably won't get any better when we all receive our AD TFI guys here in a year or so. Times....they are a changin'!

Good military/aviation books
https://www.amazon.co...m/dp/080783551X Hanoi's War: An International History of the War for Peace in Vietnam Has anyone read this? Pretty steep price, just wondering if it's worth it.

JSTARS sabotage?
Point...same as Sky and Tac. Thanks, it's always good for a laugh.

I had two friends who showed up to the B-Course as Captains. There were quite a few who were Captains by the end of the B-course or shortly after arriving in their first ops squadron. None of them were prior rated...just had lots of casual and BIT (this was back when Eagles were breaking apart, Luke and DM were having mx issues). My first OPR cover a year as a 1LT and half as a Capt...and I only had minor delays in training.

What kind of type rating do you guys get?

JSTARS sabotage?
We were discussing the difference between the JSTARS and AWACS. Basically, one has a cool spiny thing on top, and other has a big adam's apple. Oh, and AWACS co-pilots are spitters!

Squadron deactivation/activation
Ugh, really? What a waste of time in the AOR! But I'm sure somebody got a good OPR bullet for planning that one...

"No Easy Day" - Book revealing details about Bin Laden Raid (Neptune Spear)
My guess is that he really doesn't care. ...and not a single fuck was given. I'm willing to bet that a good majority of the military population doesn't know, or care about the difference. There are people in the AF that don't even know what kind of planes are based at their base. +1 I'm amazed at how little some Americans know about the geography of the U.S.A!
