I remember CAP incentive rides at my detachment. It was designed to target ROTC kids with no flying experience to see if they were interested. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Most the WG Execs I know are too old for this program. Exceptions exist, but of the year groups they are looking to crossflow, the T-38 drops were pretty good. Makes me wonder just what kind of talent they are going to be able to scrape up. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It's all a test to see how those 8 will do. Judging by how AMC defines "success" I expect around 4-6 Gp Execs get slotted for this and the program ends up crashing and burning just like all the higher ups are hoping it will. But at least they can say "we tried!" Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I know of two Wing Commanders who were Heavy to Fighter, but that was a different Air Force. The fighter WG/CCs and fighter porches can't even take care of their own guys who are punching left and right after sh!t deal after sh!t deal gets handed to them. How much do are they going to take care of a heavy guy who they don't even really want. Be realistic people. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Mypers updated for the O-4 board. Estimated release mid-late June. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Actually that makes a lot of sense if that's the reason they are slowing the pin on rates that drastically. At 260 a month I assumed '08 would start pinning on in Aug/Sept. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

When I checked earlier in April they hadn't listed the 150 reduction in June. Thanks for posting that. I guess the timeline has slowed drastically. Good thing since they haven't even posted an update for the '08 board timeline. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

We need to go back to the 90 day deployments. 6 months is still way too long. So it costs more money. What costs more replacing O-4s who are burnt out or breaking those BS deployments between 2 people? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Well even Jalen Robinette is finding out that maybe the Air Force isn't all that it's cracked up to be. For those that don't follow NFL/NCAA football, the AF officially told the USAFA WR on Thursday (round 1 of the draft) that he is not going to be able to go to the Ready Reserve until after 2 years of AD service. Being projected as a mid round draft pick, this probably cost him somewhere around $2.5 million... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Yeah, be careful calling the AF's baby ugly (not finishing ACSC). I had a buddy who was indirectly told that if he didn't finish school he was on the next 6-month they could find. He was a bonus taker so he really had no choice. Your best bet is writing a letter stating you don't want to be promoted (come up with a better reason than F the AF, even if that is true). You won't get involuntary Sep pay (no one is, I promise) but it sets you free from indentured servitude. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Haven't been passed over yet, I'm an '08 guy anxiously waiting for the board results. I wrote a letter to the board telling them I don't want to play anymore and I am taking my toys and going home. I promise, I'll tell the raw unfiltered part of the story once I am free. I am currently Fencing-In and waiting for the AF to somehow screw me. Bennynova, I'll send you a PM with more details.

That's not happening obviously, seeing as the increment went from 180/mo to 261/mo. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Has there ever been an interruption, or does it typically just keep flowing? I can't see them taking a month off promoting people with as fast as we are jettisoning Majors. IIRC there was no gap between the '06/'07 groups. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It's actually 2/3 of your INITIAL commitment, so ROTC guys have to serve 2/3 of 4-years. That being said, asking anymore than 1 year will get you a definite NO, and even 6 months isn't a sure thing anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I would tend to think May-July 18. The '08 guys will start pinning on in Aug-Sept '17. With the last two year groups exhausting the list in 9 months, I'm thinking '08 will be done by April '18, and the '09 guys start in May '18. The flood gates are open, O-4 11Xs are bailing faster than anyone in the military as soon as their 12 year purgatory is up. Too far from retirement and too tired to put up with more BS.

Wow... what a coincidence. When I put in my Palace Chase App, while it was going through the wickets, I got tasked with a 6 monther to Iraq. That made my decision sooo much easier. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Which is exactly what's happening with the O-4s. By promoting 260+, the list will be exhausted by the end of July. Leaving the 08 guys pinning on in August before the next FY begins. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Is this the last Line Lt Col board that met on 27 Feb 17? They haven't updated the Promotion Status on MyPers since 6 April, but as of 6 April that board had already made it all the way through the AF (CSAF, SAF, etc) and was presumably at the Office of Sec Def sometime later. According to MyPers it takes about 18 working days (3.5 weeks) to get through that wicket and then released. Although they projected a late May, early June release, it seems like it could be as early as the next couple weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Not sure on OTS. I was picked up through ROTC. If you can't find someone here to help, I can ask some of my former students who were OTS. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Drops right now at ENJJPT are about as good as you could ever get. To even have a shot at a heavy you need to be... "FIRST OR LAST BABY" -Ricky Bobby And being last may still non-vol you to a fighter. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
