Well, it IS the Navy...

I just tell the LTs to move.

You'll get about 500 hours per CENTCOM deployment. Not a pilot, but I've been flying the jet for about 10 years and I'm at 3000 hours.

Her fiance really dodged a bullet on that one!

After wings have already written them. Again. Over-under on this board having the same delays as the last one?

Wouldn't surprise me. They're trying to figure out where they can source it from while keeping operational squadrons in the air.

So, you are in favor of larger corporations getting ever larger stakes in their industries, while small business owners are unable to pass their business to the next generation? Remind me again which one has more wealth, a small business owner or a corporation like Monsanto or Google. A corporation that, BTW, will never pay an estate tax because it will never die.

The B-1 has an arming lever, but it's pretty visible. When safe, it rests against the left ejection handle on the outside of the seat, near your knee.

You don't fly as often home station...a young dude might fly six times a month. But sure a single 6-month deployment, most dudes will be North of 500 hours.

Well, he was already contemplating retirement. Not sure how working directly for CSAF would derail that.

Feel free to write your own article if you want an invitation from the CSAF.

The real fun part about this guidance is that if you even have an investigation open, they'll withhold your promotion until it finishes. So if you've got that one airman that doesn't like you because you gave him an LOR for being late to work, it could delay your promotion.

No. Just don't have a board do it. The Air Force still hasn't learned that you can't lead by committee...this is how we get things like terrible PT gear and reversing the patches on the OCPs from the flight suit AND from the current AFGSC guidance.

I must have missed that part of the JTR. My lease cost is my lease cost. My roommate's lease cost is my roommate's lease cost. Sign independent leases, and I don't see what finance could possibly argue against.

Except the JTR lets you self-certify non-availability.

There isn't one. You stay in a hotel, you get paid up to the locality rate regardless of the length of the TDY. You also get the full per diem, regardless of the length of the stay.

Don't most of those cases involve a PCS anyway?

So, how does AFPC even get notified of an in-house requal? I understand if it's in conjunction with a PCS and you're out of the jet <39 months...but what if a guy goes long-term DNIF, and his checkride is overdue...now he has an additional ADSC? Who routes that paperwork for AFPC? Or a guy coming back from a 6-month non-flying deployment...now that guy will have an ADSC for in-house, commander directed requal? Again, who is even notifying AFPC if there's no training RIP and no PCS involved?

Of course, that old-timer was also in at a time before Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram allowed the most junior airmen to throw spears at their most senior leaders in a public forum...

Side note, Luke's gonna really injure his family jewels on opening shock if he doesn't tighten that harness.

So about tree fiddy?

I'm worried about what the Air Force believes a 12X is worth on the outside. At least I got the bonus while it was hot.

I don't know too many people willing to bail out of the Air Force for a six month deployment. Hell, those are the standard in my community when you go with a squadron and employ the aircraft downrange. I know plenty of people willing to bail on a 365.

1. Our combat squadrons now have civilian schedulers, training folks, and mobility folks, meaning there's continuity and fewer flyers having to manage things like RAP, scheduling, and mobility folders. 2. He implemented about a dozen tiers of bonuses, including this year offering a bonus to WSOs even well past their initial commitment. 3. He's reduced the number of 365s. From what our functional is telling us, there are only about 20 365 jobs left that aren't SQ/CC or more senior leadership. 4. He separated IDE selection from promotion boards. 5. He approved the OCP uniform for wear. 6. You can push up the sleeves on your flight suit. Maybe you don't think that's enough...I know most on the board don't. But he's not just sitting around. He is actively working to change things within the Air Force. I don't think the problem lies with Fingers. The problem lies at the WG/CC GP/CC level and with A-staff at the MAJCOM. If all of that leadership actually implemented the things Fingers is telling them to, life would be a lot better for line dudes.

I consistently score around 90 and have never failed a PT test. I get nervous before every single one. There is no other measure that has so much ability to impact someone's career. I know people who have failed a PT test ten years ago who were then prevented from going to WIC. Meanwhile, I know people who had run-ins with the law who were still allowed to apply. Even if it's something you can do in your sleep, the stress of knowing every test could end your career is still present and significant.
