A CRO is less medically trained than a PJ who is less medically trained than a doctor.

A Letter from Col Brian S. Laidlaw, 325th Fighter Wing Commander Good Morning Team Tyndall, We are definitely better today than we were yesterday and tomorrow we will be better than we are today. This is the mantra of Team Tyndall as we continue to recover and repair our base. On Friday, November 2, the Secretary of the Air Force made an important announcement about our base. She announced the specific units that will continue operations at Tyndall as well as the units that have insufficient infrastructure to resume their missions at Tyndall and where they will go for now. Units that will resume operations at Tyndall AFB: • The 601st Air Force Operations Center will resume operations no later than January 1, 2019. • The 337th Air Control Squadron will resume air battle manager training at a reduced rate by January 1, 2019. A full production rate is expected not later than summer 2019. • Air Force Medical Agency Support team will continue their mission of medical facility oversight. • Air Force Office of Special Investigations will continue their mission from usable facilities. • 53rd Air-to-Air Weapons Evaluation Group will remain at Tyndall Air Force Base. • The Air Force Legal Operations Agency will continue their mission from a useable facility at Tyndall. • Air Force recruiters will continue their mission from local area offices in the Panama City, Florida, area. • The 823rd Red Horse Squadron, Detachment 1, will continue their mission at Tyndall. • The Air Force Civil Engineer Center will continue their mission at Tyndall. Units to be located at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, with reachback to Tyndall: • The 43rd and 2nd Fighter Squadrons’ F-22 Fighter Training and T-38 Adversary Training Units will relocate operations to Eglin AFB. Academic and simulator facilities at Tyndall will be used to support training requirements, as well as Tyndall’s surviving Low Observable maintenance facilities. • The 372rd Training Squadron, Detachment 4, will relocate with the F-22 Fighter Training Units to Eglin AFB. Units with insufficient infrastructure to resume operations at Tyndall AFB at this time: • Personnel and F-22s from the 95th Fighter Squadron will relocate to Langley AFB, Virginia; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. • The Noncommissioned Officer Academy will temporarily disperse across four locations: McGhee-Tyson, Tennessee; Maxwell Air Force Base - Gunter Annex, Alabama; Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi; and Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. With this announcement, I know there are many questions regarding assignments and timeframes for returning to work. We are working each day with our team of experts and your squadron commanders to provide you those answers. We will meet Gen Goldfein’s goal of ensuring our Airmen (military and civilian) are on a path or deliberately settled by the winter holidays. While the Air Force has committed $100 million dollars to repairing and recovering Tyndall, our Airmen and mission partners are the key to recovering our base. In the past week, we have finished our initial structure assessment, started mold remediation in high priority buildings, completed street debris removal in housing, and many other tasks. Our base looks better every day, and many workspaces will be ready for you to return in a limited capacity. Your commanders are helping us build our phased reconstitution plan and timeline. As we continue with this process, you remain my first priority. Know that you are forefront in my mind as our team supports the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force’s decisions and we look forward to our future. We’re Airmen. We’ve got this. v/r Col Brian S. Laidlaw 325th Fighter Wing Commander

There isn't a shortage of volunteers as said before and before.

They cut/paste the AFCENT A2CU guidance into 'current guidance'. Most of it is bullshit and we have been told an updated version is on the way removing the convenience stop stuff amongst other shit.

Sorry, was going off of my world where we're about 25% green bag wearing and the rest are A2CU for many years now.

Not sure what you mean by that. Its a simple patch change. You aren't buying a new uniform.

So the word I got and that was passed on supposedly worked from ACC head bob down to our grp bob. He didn't specify if they were replacing or would be authorized for wear with the bag.

Facts from on high

Green bags, mulitcam patches, brown (coyote) boots, and brown tshirts coming very very shortly.

No, the program was pretty stupid from what I gather on the AF side. These were brand new fresh out of basic Airmen. A couple were in the linguist pipeline I believe. Nobody had a degree. You are correct in that none finished but I don't think there was actually a 'finish line' on this.

Where are you getting your data? I have a pretty direct source who says 1 self eliminated, 4 completed program and of those 4 2 were recommended for commissioning programs. Are we talking different programs?

Why hasn't the coastal areas taken the far east approach to the annual storms they deal with. You go to okinawa and everything is cement or the equivalent. I was at Tyndall for first assignment and we hangared 2-3 times for pending storms. We would put 10-20 F-15s in the available hangars and head to the dorms to party.

MI-26 is a bit over 40k but still not even close to enough barring major stripping mods

Nothing government is insured as far as I know.

Think of the infrastructure costs saved. Rapid response availability. Build the wall then build these carriers. Dibs on the spark tank suggestion

Guys, the answer is already out there.

Wasn't impressed with First Man at all. The flag hoopla was much to do about nothing. I counted at least 30+ shots of USA or the flag proudly displayed. Even showed it in the landing scenes.

The "no stopping" for the A2CU will be corrected in an update message. HAF has said the A2CU will be treated exactly like the ABU/OCP uniform in regards to off base stops.

Ha. Hilarious but mostly true. I hate dogging on them because there are some really good dudes, even on the rescue side who get it and just want to do the best at their mission. Then there are the rest who won't fit in too well to the AFSOC side I think.

Whos GA? Haven't seen those guys in about a year on our birds.

No I get it but with newer tech and not frankensteined shit that we have in the 60, I think they'll be alright. At least off the bat...if they ever get it fielded.

What mission equipment would it need? With current tech being used I can't see anything more than a couple thousand pounds at most.

Yup. I'm with you.

That has some pretty amazing one liners in it. Alot of them 🙂

For fucks sake it's 'lose'.
