They will fix the glitch in manning by promoting more BPZ. Honestly it is smart you don’t need to be a Lt Col to be a commander. Now because they have to be they will make them sooner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do they give you Go Pills for those sims? Jesus. I had one sortie in the B-1 that was 20 hours I can’t imagine 28. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are they going to bump BTZ DP to 15%? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wonder if this news is in any way related to the losses incurred at Tyndall? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is anyone else finding it weird to see Captains and Colonels and Generals with brown rank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought it would be higher than 60%. Would like to see the results for AETC HAWK Sq/CC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Other Country National? Because Third Country National is also a pejorative term? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay here is a P that gets you promoted. Sorry it took a few days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll take a screen shot of my PRF ITZ to O-5 and upload tomorrow. I got a P. I had multiple FGO OTY awards at the Squadron and one at the Group level plus 2x Expeditionary Sq/CC gigs and was the Commander of MX Operations (130 enlisted) when my board met. Do I think that my record was stronger than someone else that got a DP, yes I do. I was taken to the MLR and lost out on the DP, so you have to understand those types of reindeer games. If you give the other guy P and Skitzo a DP then the other guy won’t get picked up. If I give the other guy a DP and Skitzo a P other guy will get promoted and Skitzo might get the MLR DP and if he doesn’t he has the silver bullet at worst. Long and short of it, no DP you almost need the super P. If someone smart out there knows how many senior raters are out there chime in but my best guess is around 120 figuring in non wing senior rater types. I believe there was a total of 213 with a P picked up. Some senior raters have more DPs allocated than others, some have none at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So in my limited experience those with truly the HPO stink usually say something like this... Junior Captain—Future Squadron Commander Senior Captain—Will Command an Ops Squadron Junior Major—Will Command at Multiple Levels Going to IDE—IDE next followed by ASG and Ops Sqd Command (usually after boarded to be a cc) Groom/Monitor/Ready for command—-better than not having it in the pushline but not spectacular either. Need a DP or the “if I had one more or if I had a DP to give” is necessary based on the amount of SRs there are vs Ps that got promoted to O-5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

55% I believe. So 1.1 DPs rounded down to 1.0 and the carry over goes to the MLR. Hey the worst you can get is the “If I had one more,” so you should be good. That’s what I got. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PEX would never be reliable enough to catch this. PEX server on a boat yeah right. Can’t get it to work at ground based locations for longer than 24 hours without some kind of outage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup that was it. Looked so odd and unprofessional to me. But I guess it’s function over form? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huh... it really threw me seeing that but yeah it did look acid washed as well lol. Hipster flight suits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Off topic, saw someone around Eglin wearing a flight suit that looked like it was made out of denim. Anyone seen this recently? I wasn’t able to ask or snap a picture. It looked really strange. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s up with that? Do LAF-J and MSC have 100% promotion opportunity all the way up? Never heard of those guys ever being passed over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are they all complete losses? Time to reopen the line MAGA more Raptors... 5 more squadrons! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1. Promotion opportunity should equate to “how many of x AFSC do we need?” 2. UMDs should be updated as well to allow for O-5 billets in the squadron besides the DO and CC position—allowing the above question to not backfire when AFPC suddenly says we are healthy on O-5s. 3. Individual MAJCOMs need to be able to define these requirements outside of the insane and pointless math that manpower and personnel types use. It needs to be like this “I need 4 Lt Col types in my x squadron because at anyone point I only have 2 on hand because of random TDYs, Leave and Deployments, and must fills at the OG or higher level. We believe that 2 x O-5s on station is the appropriate leadership when in garrison, 4 will get me 2.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s based on the senior rater, not squadron. Most senior raters are Wing Commanders, sometimes Group Commanders. At MAJCOM level they are usually the respective A1/2/3 directors. 75 is normal for O-4 (before the 100% era) and 50-55 for O-5. Senior raters get DPs based on how many ITZ they have. If the result is say 2.5, the SR gets 2, and the .5 goes back to the MLR and they add all the .5s together from around the MAJCOM to determine how many ML DPs there are. Then they have a knife fight to award those DPs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Less than a coin flip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It all comes down to the DP vs P. And apparently if you are a P you need the silver bullet or some other stratified P or else your ed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many Senior Raters are there? The low select rate makes it seem like you essentially need the “if I had one more DP” push to make it with a P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
