Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Nope. Mine was half up front, then $12.5k a year for each year of the contract.
- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Promotion and PRF Information
They didn't figure out order of merit at the board? Isn't that how they figure out who gets promoted in the first place?

Finance Problems
Just so we're clear...everyone understands that it's not in his power to forgive these taxes, right?

Promotion and PRF Information
I was thinking the same thing. The slide says something about 18 days from OSD to public release date...so unless they approve it tomorrow, probably going to be October.

Brown Nominated to be Next CSAF
I don't know about the continue flying piece, but I know a guy who did exactly this to escape Dyess and PCS to Eglin. Retired for exactly one day before going back on AD orders for three years.

Finance Problems
If you're in charge of any folks affected by this, you may want to take some time and explain to them that this is, in fact, a loan. Would hate to see some young airmen caught by surprise at tax time.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
At least Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot held her ground when she was caught doing the same thing.

It was a real thing.

Promotion and PRF Information
I've heard of DT boards, but I've never gotten any kind of feedback from one about where my records stood or what I could do to improve.

The new airline thread
At least, until the Chinese REALLY seize the city.

Promotion and PRF Information
I met the board as the Deputy IG, so at the Wing, with a P. 5/10 eligibles. I made my peace with being a major for the rest of my career soon after I got passed over the first time. I am definitely not in the 1% of people who are going to get promoted APZ with a P. I got a nice assignment now...that's all I can ask for. I can be done volunteering for one-off projects and additional duties trying to earn a strat...just do my job, to the best of my ability, and let the young'uns knife fight over strats.

UPT Segregation
Certainly this won't be compared to "separate but equal". Can't help but wonder if the instructors will be similarly segregated. Can you imagine getting yelled at by your commander as a white male pilot for failing someone in the "minorities only" class when they suck?

Promotion and PRF Information
I ain't shy. The whole forum knows what happened to me last time. Including what my PRF said.

At this rate I'll be writing my next PRF before I know the results of this board.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Ahem. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/27/joe-biden/biden-wrong-when-he-says-trump-hasnt-condemned-dav/ And now David Duke is voting Democrat. He endorsed Tulsi Gabbard. Which to me just says you can't control who your fans are... It's a bit like blaming Jodie Foster because John Hinckley tried to shoot Reagan.

Still said at the Air Staff since June 19th as of the last update.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
So I guess we're completely ignoring when he said neo-Nazis and white supremacists should be condemned?
-
The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Still pushing that hoax, eh? Let's look at the whole quote: He explicitly excluded white supremacists and neo-Nazis from the "very fine people" comment.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Maybe...but generally you can kick over chairs and clean up the joint without creating the "most toxic environment in 20 years".

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
According to democrats, protests are perfectly peaceful and encouraged...just not where the elites live. https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-chicago-police-lightfoot-home-protests-20200820-s563zjj4uzc2rcbprrruzalwaq-story.html

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Considering how many dead people got stimulus checks...I'm not sure just shotgunning ballots to the last known address of registered voters is a winning strategy.

The Next President is...
A woman who jailed thousands and thousands of black men as a prosecutor. And it's the person they want to put forward while people are protesting racial inequality in the criminal justice system.

Accompanied at AUAB
I thought most of those 365s were turned into 6-month deployments, not two year accompanied tours? And with shit winding down (yeah, I've heard that before), they theoretically wouldn't need as many people, right?
