  1. That was a risky click...but the TLDR of the article:
  2. Luck, timing, and there is no justice.
  3. At least you don't have to fly them...I despise staffers.
  4. So...exactly like the C40/BBJ then. 700 fuselage, 800 wing/gear...and ghetto fabulous aux tanks.
  5. 100% possible. But, statistically unlikely. My class (granted this was a while ago) got AD to Scott, March, and Birmingham in the same drop. Figure, they get one or two new people a year.
  6. Mostly agree, but ops tempo and having a predictable schedule also are huge for quality of life. I could not have sustained my life as a tanker toad from 2014-2017. Min dwell between deployments and then red flags shoe horned in between, plus other crap crushed me. And, even today, if I don't have approved leave on the books then nothing is safe or sacred. There are still many communities running their people to the breaking point.
  7. Schweet. Don't happen to have a source/memo for that though? Nobody on my end has heard it.
  8. https://www.iranintl.com/en/202305275606 The CIA and State Department right now:
  9. Summary of AAL's AIP is out. Some good, some meh...not industry leading, IMO. Doesn't even meet DAL's pay rate for another 2 years. Unless there is some magical language in the actual/full contract when it gets released:
  10. True, freight gets to fly around literal boxes of dildos. Not this onesie twosie weak sauce...
  11. Yes...and the current one is a legit bad ass: https://www.jcs.mil/Leadership/Article-View/Article/2039792/seac-ramn-cz-coln-lpez/
  12. Maybe this is their version of the Doolittle Raid.
  13. Don't forget they like to PCS O-6's right at 2 years so there is another 2 year ADSC. Hard to cut it to less than 4 years unless you can snag the first assignment overseas then it's only a 1 year commitment to come back stateside.
  14. Yesterday Sudanese Mig-29's attacking the Rapid Intervention Forces: Also yesterday:
  15. A dramatic depiction of the Air Force in literally any deal/program/agreement they put out:
  16. Has anyone had their base finance push back on the 20 days of PTDY if you are separating? Mine is saying that is a benefit only for people who are retiring. The DAFI 36-3003 states: "pre-separation or retirement relocation activity such as job or residence search and is eligible under as a: (1) Voluntary separation incentive separatee." I can't find the definition of "incentive separatee" anywhere.
  17. DO's need incentive pay, IMO. The CC at least has a chance at promotion and is their because they want to be (most of the time). The DO is probably in that position against their will, has limited promotion potential, and is getting the same amount of crap as the CC...just one is ops and the other is people. Edit: And I am not even a DO. 😇
  18. Let's see which ones apply: Yeap, definitely in an abusive relationship.
  19. It was planned months in advance. Sadly, shit happens. If we cancelled every DV movement because something else was happening in the world nobody would ever go anywhere. Considering I'm one of those resources that gets wasted for all this travel, you'd be correct, I don't see a problem with FLOTUS going to Africa. Countering China's advances/influence in the African continent is a huge priority.
