...like those COVID19 pre-existing conditions or other-health-factors worsening COVID19's impact... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html ...discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen, who will be the primary plaintiff? Any wagers on if a class action will be filed? A hearty 'you-were-right' 😒 is brewing 😏- What's something good the USAF is doing?
It is good that the AF consistently messes everything up, predictability is good...right? Otherwise we would all be anxious with uncertainty!!! And knowing the future is good, unlike current events...- Finally done in Afghanistan?
Trump tried... https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2020/07/unconventional-tactic-becomes-congresss-go-weapon-against-troop-withdrawal/166880/ Power of the purse kept Trump too from spending $$ on the withdrawal... https://theintercept.com/2020/07/02/house-democrats-working-with-liz-cheney-restrict-trumps-planned-withdrawal-of-troops-from-afghanistan-and-germany/- Finally done in Afghanistan?
What else could they have added, military coup? Riots? Seems a legit lvl. 4, puts other lvl 4 COVID-only advisories to shame. "The Travel Advisory for Afghanistan remains Level 4-Do Not Travel due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict, and COVID-19."- Degradation of SUPT
Drop on request vs. Self Initiated Elim, same right? Failing/washing out another matter, ref. rated aircrew is voluntary duty going in...presently...until draft- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
How about to enable 21 days of glutanous traveling/leave in Spain? ...and their famous beaches...those good reasons? Certainly sand, skin, food and wine can't be bad things (in moderation, which they weren't, the more the better!)- Degradation of SUPT
They're looking at "seasoning" options to "produce" more after wings too. Totally just fluffing the heck out of everything - aka smoke amd mirrors, but you can see we're running out of options- Finally done in Afghanistan?
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-set-repeal-2002-iraq-war-authorization-n1271107 The repeal or even more legally defined/refined/limited AUMF would get the USA out in present capacity....I am awaiting the AUMF's repeal or heavy modification. The 'complex' will change if the AUMF is repealed. The present AUMF is the legal flexibility from which the 'complex' is thriving.- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Did you say Dr. Mulligan? As in lab oops, sliced that a little much right...? Or took that one home with me, oops?- Promotion and PRF Information
This, BigRed, and AF doesn't understand all the implications yet, the 5 yr look is NOT yet mandatory but recommended legally I believe (prob. to get the glacier moving that way before legally mandatory)- AeroClub Ideas

T-44A had it. I forget which model, King RNAV something... However I'll never forget planning a beach tour XC from NAS Corpus to Gainesville which the IP refused to use because he didn't understand the FMS/Nav systems capes - dang I nerded out back then.- SOS/ACSC information
From 1 day after checkin to 3 months out from my direct observation. 1 day after scenario was person PCA'd from SOS instructor to ACSC.- Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)
2 pickup locations are determined by previous authorizations/orders and/or used allowance/entitlement. For example: I did 2 pickups within the same city no problem last PCS. Just listed it in pickup request and reflected it would be below max FGO allowance. Easy. Many people do this from storage and domicile/house within 50 mile radius. But if you were to do 2 pickup from different cities/"areas", were your dependents authorized to stay? Were they not authorized to go to new place (similar but different question)? If not, have you used your Home of record (HOR) move? Want to? Did you not use 100% of previous PCS HHG allowance moved? It sounds like your orders should be (confirm?) unaccompanied PCS orders in which you took/used minimal PCS HHG entitlement to D.C. In which case you will use for TMO a combo of your unaccompanied and previous accompanied PCS orders with your new accompanied OCONUS orders to get it all to the same, new, OCONUS place. If it's not this case, TMO will probably give you trouble. G'luck. You might be able to consolidate it at your family's departure point and get days to do that. As in, geo-bach stuff moved to family and then whole of family's stuff to OCONUS. That'll take some working, but should he do-able. You want to reference the JTR and AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 24-602 VOLUME 4 15 OCTOBER 2020 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a4/publication/afi24-602v4/afi24-602v4.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjxsJj_3sTvAhVDG80KHYmTAjAQFjACegQIIRAC&usg=AOvVaw0Yn91Xt0YtVTk2J6P4K_95- Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP

Same Learned today IMR pink, new higlight, means optional.- Promotion and PRF Information
Is there not still Senior and Command Pilot Wings? (There are, and Unicorns still wear them) Is there not a Master Instructor rating from AETC? (There is...) For both of these the AF doesn't, practically as in benefits, value them. Commanders get additional pay do Master Instructors? Or Command Pilots? Who gets preference? Commanders get to schedule themselves, do Senior Pilots?- Promotion and PRF Information
