it's not a loophole. You just have to provide justification WHY you want to separate with less than 180 days notice, and your SQ/CC or WG/CC has to buy it. In my case, I just put that I had multiple employment opportunities on the shortened timeline, and mine was approved (128 days notice from application submission to DOS). Took AFPC 4 weeks to approve my app, and I went on terminal leave 35 days later. Since I was applying with the justification of being a free agent (ADSC expired), they weren't going to disapprove it...(I think the only time that could happen would be stop loss). Took TAP while still waiting for app to be approved, since you can take it up to 2 years out from your expected DOS, and a nice A1C from the MPS went ahead and loaded an outprocessing checklist for my in vMPF so I could get ahead of the game, since it was going to be such a short period between notification and terminal leave (I had 60 days terminal).

look on the right side of the page, where it says "recent posts by others"...

Chida - call ahead and get someone on the phone who doesn't have a reading comprehension problem to help you out, or try a different FSDO altogether. I know the Scottsdale FSDO has been giving out the NVG endorsement...

I'm guessing that's how he qualifies each nugget of advice he dispenses to the crowd.

to take the test? No. Read what others have said about the FSDO, and I will report back once I've done that part, but sheppardair has some good gouge. Next step for me after the MCI test is to fill out the application on IACRA to get the ball rolling. Then i've been told I will need to make an appt with the FSDO for a face-to-face. Hope to walk out of there with an NVG endorsement and an S-70 type rating on top of my CFI/CFII.

still need help? I have a 4, still running ios 6.

he said it still had to get approved by Apple. i'm guessing that approval is not instantaneous.

good, it's been so long I would need a E-6B refresher...

holy shit you ain't joking. I didn't truly understand all the variables in properly filling out a 781 until I upgraded to AC, and it's obvious and apparent neither did the 1 Chucks. I've found some pretty glaring errors in my flight time up to the point I upgraded. NVG time vs night time (the former but not the latter getting logged on a give sortie), NVG time getting logged with Other time, etc. Glad I'm taking the time now to covert my crappy flight records and correct those errors, though it is tedious.

just signed up for the MCI at the local testing location, and am using Sheppard Air for test prep. Will I need to scrounge up a flight computer/calculator/E-6B/etc for the actual test or will the sheppard air test prep cover that, too?

The PT test thing started back in 2009 at BAF. Sad to hear it continued through multiple changes in leadership.

It would be more credible if you could at least get the CSAF's name right.

the email floating around DM says it's related to BAH. They're doing an audit for those claiming "w/dependent" to make sure they're getting what they should be getting.

the same as you get anyone else's email addy: the GAL.

thread bump. Wondering if anyone uses LogTen Pro, and if it's worth the $99 purchase price? Or should I just go with an excel logbook? If the latter is the recommendation, please point me to a good excel product so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Thanks!

you ruined the fun, thanks.

did you check vMPF to see if you have a DOS of 31 Jul 14?

there's a rumor floating around on FB that the SNCO TERA first batch may be done, and to check to see if you have a Date of Separation loaded in vMPF as that may be an early indicator.

I miss the camo paint scheme. And what are those things above the center windscreen?

I was in Anaheim last week for Heli-Expo, and made sure to find a Coco Ichibanya for a meal. The entire experience was just as I remember in Japan. Too bad they don't sell curry packets, though I was able to score some of the delicious sesame dressing.

it was sporty.

every plane should have an affordable new cock.

the next time I hear "sausage" or "convoy" I'm going to break something. Why is it the USAF seems to be the only service that uses Joint Brevity?

Sounds like he was drunk, out after curfew, got in a fight... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
