  1. Where are the emergency escape hatches for PAX? And what does a robo-bailout or brace or egress callout sound like? Dude might say, "Hey U-Hawk, hey Matrix, hey AI...open the emergency 'escape' single point of entry/exit/clanshell". UHawk might respond, ' Danger Spc. Will Robinson! Danger.' Though, It could deliver my Uber Eats Chipotle order. That'd be impressive.
  2. Pics! No far-shot video! Or it didnt happen...Adalaide Stone... AI Overview: Yes, Oregon does take arrest photos (mugshots), but state law strictly limits their public release, allowing them to be shared only in limited circumstances such as when critical for public safety to apprehend a suspect, when needed for a potential victim to come forward, or if the person has been convicted of the crime for which they were arrested
  3. Have individuals pass either one of three functional checks: 1) program Havequick II to a network of PRC-152A/163, those in-net pass. No help, no phone a friend. 2) >= pull-ups than SecDef (SecWar) and SecHHS 3) (bonus round, +1 star) build a functional drone operated by G/N/A/J-6 comm complaint standards, then take out someone else's drone with theirs
  4. Who's Senior Leader Qual'd and have the brass to arrive in that MDS/MWS!?

    Oh snap! I thought they started with "." unless that dirty metric system is being referenced! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_mm_caliber Or..
  10. This one: https://www.cbs17.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/643107992/usaf-maj-gen-ret-craig-pulse-wills-joins-htx-labs/
  11. Where did that AETC general go? And what contract does that company have?
  12. MOAB. That's a clear, but mistifying, deterrence-message.
  13. How does one merge AF acquisition shenanigans of/for pilots with a new level of Italian-Acquisition 'bravate o imbrogli'? And are the Italians contractors now?
  14. Last photo tile should caveat *10-20 years ago*
  15. UPT-Next, UNT-Next, AF One-Next = CSAF-Next? But good question. What will be his legacy. Begs the future question: what is next-Next?
  16. Ask any Ops squadron (line flyer, DOT, DO, or CC) if they're completing their mandatory AGEP surveys on recent graduates. Bet you they're like, eh-GeP...bless you? Or ask, what did you just ask?
  17. Aircrew Graduate Eval Program: Goal. As part of the instructional systems development continuum, feedback gathered through the AGEP is used to ensure AETC formal flying training course graduates meet customer requirements. https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/aetc/publication/aetci36-2606/aetci36-2606.pdf

    Trash panda (bones) could pass for legit stowaway...
  20. Waived for TERA. Needs of the service were rebalancing more than LMs or their ADSCs. I was shocked, that guy was pleased to walk with TRICARE for Life, VA disability from working on SFS, and 2.5% of High-3 on ~15+ YAS.
  21. I inprocessed a brand new LM for LAO and opened a training folder after he graduated the FTU. Less than a week later I closed the folder because of, and learned about, TERA. He was on terminal leave less than a week after that. #winning?
  22. TERA has been active since the "great RIF" from NDAA FY2012 following the "great VSP" in early 2010s. TERA expires EoY FY25. https://www.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2000923562/ https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/495744/tera-program-offers-enlisted-officers-early-retirement/ The authority to utilize TERA until December 31, 2025 is for force-shaping of active military forces by that NDAA by law. Doesn't mean by policy applicants will be approved for TERA.
  23. Maybe for this reason/policy, now rescinded 5.3.3. REMOVED. 5.3.3. SQ/CC may waive 30 percent of the total and PAA flying hours required for upgrade to aircraft commander... This change of policy must've been for some [welcome] reason!? And I'm not saying that max efforts are a problem in that community, but it is a risk and training opportunity missed b/c of no FP max effort quals when it seems training and qualifications are priorities, but its also "additional" training (qual and beans) with inherent risk requiring flt hours. Its all about in-seat experience on both counts.
