I just heard a rumor that the next O-4 board in December will be a 100% promotion opportunity. The only people required to submit PRFs are those with DNPs or Ps w/ derogative information. WTF is going on?

I don't know what bothers me more, that people feel the need to lie to the Generals or that the Generals are stupid enough to believe them.

Puts things in perspective. Prayers for you all and the little man.

I'm gonna use the extra $50/month to pay for Emerald Coast. Thanks Air Force!

What year was this?

Every time you guys post in this thread it gets people's hopes up that the AF is actually approving Palace Chase applications only to come to this thread and find nothing about Palace Chase is actually being discussed...

NAACP boycotting NFL games may be just what the NFL needs to get more viewers. Just like when all those faggots boycotted Chick-fil-A and they had the biggest week of sales in history.

They are actually talking about cutting the UPT syllabus substantially to produce more pilots faster.

I was wondering about this myself. I am very happy with how my situation worked out, but was also expecting the AF to say "fvck you, you are getting promoted and serving out the remainder of your ADSC". On the other side of the coin, I talked to a couple of my 11x buddies who were passed over unexpectedly. Only one of them had a negative indicator. I had buddies that were current/qualified Viper pilots who ended up getting passed over, who were planning on staying 20+. How can Goldfinger and Wilson even have a straight face talking about a "Pilot Shortage" to congress, the airlines or whoever the hell else will still listen after the bloodbath from the past O-5 and O-4 board for pilots? Honest question. I really want to know how they spin this.

You can try anything once!

Would love to hear what these kids think about drops in 2009-2012 then, when half the class got Preds. A decent drop was just getting a Viper in the drop.

I'm glad you said that because the way I read it I came to the same conclusion. "okay so basically nothing changes except for the fact that you have said that you are changing something". A lot of "Ifs, Maybes and Looking intos".

My favorite was the Air Force 4-Star IG, standing up and telling us that the inspection process was broken, there was nothing he could do about it but it was up to us Captains to fix it.

For Lt Cols its 70 a month. Should exhaust the list by November. For Majors the list is exhausted by the end of September, leaving the 08 guys to pin on in October. No updates on what the rate will be yet on mypers.

Sorry everyone. My Wing Exec misread the email on the PRF dates and thought the whole board was pushing left.

God. I miss the days when dudes were born dudes and chicks didn't have dicks.

This is bull$hit. I mean all 7 of those people now can't join. Thanks a lot Trump.

Rumor floating around that the P0417D board for '09 Capts has been moved up 2 months from December to October. Can anyone verify? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I 100% feel you brother. If it wasn't for an awesome Commander? I would have been in the cubicle beside you. I saw first hand how fvcked up the AF filling of the RPAs were. Let me know if I can help. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I'm drunk and only understood every other word but I completely agree. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Malloy's COA was that you take 11Fs and Dual Qual them and all they did was fly and operate drones. No additional duties and a vast and extensive support system (finance, Dts, etc). I obviously have no experience but it seemed better than what the AF was doing (i.e. UPT direct and TAMI 21). Maybe better in theory than practice but seemed like more in line for what I signed up for. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

This, this, this. Even I, as fed up as I am with the AF, would stick around to 20+, if i could fly a light attack and then RPA on my non-flying days. Put it in some nice locations. Fvck Altus, and Cannon (the go to AF bases for new missions). Send over a couple E-2/3s to do my DTS and paperwork queep and voila! AF just created a bunch more 11Fs/RPA pilots who can live on our own little island without dealing with the stuff that makes us all want to leave. I don't see it happening, but MGen Malloy was pushing for this back when he was Col Malloy at AWC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

That's interesting because the PT AFI has that separation is an OPTIONAL action after 4+ failures (Table 14.1), but then later says that it is MANDATORY to separate after 4+ failures. Anyone want to push to test to see which one is correct? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

About 2 years ago the wording of the PT AFI changed ever so slightly. Whereas it used to be an almost auto-separation, now the ball is more in the Commanders best judgement. My guess is using this technique wouldn't get you what you wanted. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
