Good Riddance, Mark Milley.
I wonder if he'll be as invisible in the CJCS job as he was in the CSAF job.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
I always thought that was the whole point of continuous flight pay. Would have been nice if this had ever been brought up at any point before I left the flying community.

So...the gate months and continuous flight pay are meaningless is what I'm hearing.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Not exactly related to the bonus, but to flight pay...my counterpart here in the office got an email from the local HARM shop that aviators in "Career Enhancing Assignments" (basically, any non-flying job that isn't coded specifically for a rated officer) would have flight pay terminated after 48 months, regardless of how many gate months you had. The guy referenced AFMAN 11-421 and said it over-rode AFMAN 11-402. This seems counter to the entire idea of meeting gate months to get continuous flight pay. Anyone else heard about this?

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
Maybe we're just super conservative now, but that looked like a pretty normal airshow profile from the ones I was at a decade ago.

As a straight white guy, I'm prepared to accept a TERA offer to make room for a more diverse officer.

So, which American cities are you willing to give up again? If these are losses, I'll take it over the constant "winning" we did in Iraq and Afghanistan... https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/09/13/ukrainian-bombers-firing-western-cruise-missiles-have-destroyed-a-russian-submarine/- What's wrong with the Air Force?
I thought the point was that the upper, upper echelon got to go to sister service schools for that sweet "joint" experience. Now they want to push those guys back into Air Force schools. I have a feeling it's just going to result in more declinations until the bottom 50% are the ones at Maxwell.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
