Not directing this at anyone in particular, as I am guilty of this as well, but Gen Welsh has actually made moves to increase morale in spite of the Air Force's dismal outlook (budgets/force shaping, etc.) Yeah things aren't perfect and we got a long way to go, but thank God Skeletor II is done destroying our Air Force and we got someone who seems to genuinely care.

Good on him!

Soon it will be FT by correspondence, before you go in residence.

I actually thought the 8 week program was pretty easy. However I heard from several friends years later that the compressed course that they implemented is more difficult.

Judge much? You have no idea how bitter I am at the Air Force, and I haven't been screwed nearly as much or as often as most guys on here. Glad your life is going great though. Keep up the faith! I seem to remember it being announced like 3 years ago. I could be totally wrong.

Didn't they get Selected as one of the first ANG F-35 units? Any chance you would take a T-38 guy who is "Fighter Qualified" from ENJJPT, finished top 1/3 but got relegated to heavies back in FY '10?

Sorry to hijack but what are the financial implications for walking into a Technician job from Active Duty (UPT base/IP)? Is that a good deal as an IP? What kind of compensation should someone expect compared to the AD teet I've been sucking on for the past 6 years?

Is there any reserve component there? Looking at options with this VSP!!!!

Joe, that is perhaps the most intelligent post you have ever shared with this community.

365s for everyone!!!

Hey kid, you got to get in first and realize how horrible it is before you start talking about Palace Chase! To answer your question, someone will correct me if it has changed but it is 2/3 of your initial commitment and you are PC eligible. Chance of success however is a whole different ball game.

Great advice. I like the look and nostalgia of the wood furniture, but ultimately I want function, so I think polymer is what I should look for. I would like a fixed stock though. Definitely looking for a 7.62. Thanks again guys!

I want it. What do you guys think about this? Is this heading in the right direction? https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/714007832/redirect

Thanks M2!!! Thanks helodude. I'm thinking 47 but I will definitely look into the 74s. I'll check into the Krebs as well. Now I just got to go launder some money from the wife!

I'm planning on digging through this thread extensively, but I have about $1000 in my pocket that I would love to put towards an AK. Any quick advice? I have a AR and know some basics about AKs but nowhere near the level that you all do. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thank God he finally sought out the help he needed.

He has only got more "awesome" with rank.

So what ever happened to Joe1234?

What about the RIF me letters to the board? Anyone know on the last round the success rate of that course of action? What about the RIF me letters to the board? Anyone know on the last round the success rate of that course of action?

Between him and the previous Little Rock WG/CC aka SOS Commander, they are producing some real winners.

Hmmm... that guy keeps popping up on the negative side of a lot of our BO.net conversations. Just sayin...

Too many people are leaving!!! Quick change the regs!!!

I remember the rudder effectiveness drills while load is on the jet. Little unsure of stomping on the rudder while stalled...

Had a classmate trying to tell other studs that during TP stalls you should step on the rudder to recover because it was more effective under G-loads.

I was debriefing a T-38 sortie with my FLT/CC when I realized my pins were still in my G-Suit. Did the old "Forgot something out at the jet" routine on the bus driver and sheepishly put them back in. Also did half of an instrument ride with pins in - I was back seat so IP never noticed. Makes me wonder how the hell I made it through Phase III without hooking a ride!!!
