I think continuation is inevitable if you are a pilot. I know guys with negative indicators who were all continued on the last 2 boards Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

That sounds about as good of a deal for the Air Force as offering passed over Capts continuation to 20! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

If only we would have fired the first Gen Schwartz before he wrecked the place. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

How can they do this? Wouldn't they still be allowed to deny the retainment and separate? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

There is such a huge split between the Rated and Non-rated Officer Career fields. You get your first real good picture of that while at SOS. I went there already feeling jaded at the system, ops tempo and leadership in the Ops world. Even back then before the airlines were hiring, I knew few pilots who were planning on staying in. Imagine my surprise when I found out that a ton of Officers in the AF couldn't be happier. Working 9-5 (sometimes), deploying maybe once in their career (The Deid BPC) and making almost six figures. These dudes were happy. Their biggest problems were what they needed to do to make the next Wing Quarterlies... When they told me what their job consisted of, a report, updating some slides now and then, EPRs, etc. I realized that we were in two completely different military organizations and they would never quite get it. Before anyone jumps off a cliff, I know some other non-rated career fields have it tougher. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

So they would have to rely on shoving "service before self" down people's throats... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

But how would they be able to non-vol you to a 365? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Quite a few of my friends in the ANG side have just outright quit or transitioned to non-flying positions inside the unit and outside. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Doubtful. More than likely they call it Basic Housing PAY and then you are taxed on it. It wouldn't be a flat rate pay increase across the board nor would it change your base pay, therefore no increase in your retirement. Just lube up bro, they are only trying to fvck you.

In no way will they let this benefit us. But that would be a nice incentive! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Thanks congress. Preciate' that. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I used to live in LA many years ago but hadn't been back. Went into LAX for an interview and was surprised at how third world that place had become... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I don't know man, I'm kinda hoping California just kinda falls off into the sea. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Learjetter, how long ago did you sit on the board? Was it a Maj or Lt Col board? Thanks for the insight. The rate now for Pilots is damn near 95%, so hoping for a miracle cause the AF has practically shut all voluntary paths to the ANG outside of 6 months. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Thanks guys! Good discussion. Really hoping in my case the board helps my family out and I can continue my career a long time in the ANG. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Thanks man! I'm wondering how the board deals with these Do Not Promote letters. So far everyone I know who got a P and wrote a letter was passed over, but I don't know how solid their records were. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Chang, I love you bro, but I can't take you seriously! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Because I can turn down continuation, separate early from my UPT ADSC, move to help my parents and in-laws and join the local ANG unit. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I think I understand the way they score PRFs at the board, but what about people who write letters? I got a P on my PRF (score on the WG/CC hating me!) but my record is pretty good. Lots of #1s and 2s in Sq and Grp (small grp about 32-36 CGOs). How do boards look at Do Not Promote letters when the record is pretty strong? My plan is to mention that my father in law was just diagnosed with brain cancer and nasal cancer and my mother in law is handicapped and cannot take care of him. I would try a Hardship Sep, but like I said my Wing/CC hates me and would not support. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

What's the DP allocation rate for Major? 70% or 75%? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

So glad we found a solution to the fighter pilot shortage. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I thought it was end of March? Did they move it up? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

At this rate the whole list will be exhausted before the end of August. It's just an indication of how many Majors are flooding out the door at the end of their UPT commitment. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Dang! The wheels are coming off. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
