Totally thought this thread was going to get flamed down with “Use The Search Function” Now it’s turning out to be shitting on Hacker lol. He had a great point. Currently in the U-28 community people can’t do VFR patterns unless they have the missed approach fix / runway in the GPS with a GD bearing pointer. To the original poster: I have been both a B-1 pilot and U-28 driver. By far the most rewarding aspect of my job has been being in places I never thought I’d be in and giving great support to guys on the ground. In both communities I never thought I’d be stuck at the Deid flying an 18 hour mission after the entire F15 fleet got grounded and I never thought I’d be in blah blah blah because I’m in AFSOC and it is classified. BL: You will learn to love whatever you do and have great memories with the people you have done it with. Everyone’s mission is the best because you identify with it and the people you support.

Money won’t fix it but it surely won’t hurt.

Glad he got out. This has been a rough year so far.

Wow, removed the chute. Did they remove the axe because in the event more than one seat failed it was first person to the axe won?

LOL I nearly spit my beer out.

No it isn’t wrong. But I read that as well but didn’t see it in the actual PDSM.

UFB After spending six months in MX I am convinced that the mindset problem in the USAF is not in OPS or MX. This confirms my thought process. Johnny is a real fast burner in MSG, we need him desperately at the A1 so we can craft the next PT policy that will clearly solve our woes. Although I will say I did get a call back from the FSS Ops O today saying he would look into our problem with the indoor track at Cannon. For some reason running indoors over 20 laps adds :50 to an average run time, so maybe there is hope. Not bagging on you Weezer just find it odd that joint jobs are less desirable than HAF jobs.

If true, that’s just wrong. Was hoping he would be the A3 at some point. He would have destroyed that position! Follow him anywhere for any mission because he’s a no shit credible aviator and listens to his cc’s. Downrange he was fantastic as the Exp Wg/CC. Loosely paraphrased “Im not a X/Y/X MDS guy so I’m not going to second guess you, you let me know what you need to execute and if what your being asked to do is dumb let me know I’ll take the hit and back you up”. Working for separate OPCON, it was a nice sentiment being ADCON only but he was more than willing to walk over to the O6 who did have OPCON and tell them they were jacked on my behalf. If this is all true, recommend merging it over into the “What’s wrong with the USAF” Thread.

Sorry man, best I can guess with a decent P push is that you and I are still in the same boat. Damn shame, I don’t physically think I could have done any more to earn a DP. So if you think similarly you and I have nothing to be disappointed about.

Sure, but how many sitting wing commanders have taken action on this? That’s the point.

Then I guess they would bring back MX Ops Squadrons instead of attaching them at the Group Staff level. That’s like 50 command billets right there. http://www.amc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/144275/62nd-maintenance-operations-squadron-deactivates/

Just one small example. BL: eliminating CBTs, reducing 12 page outprocessing checklists and giving commanders discretion to upgrade skill levels without the shackles of the 12 month requirement. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/05/01/special-operations-wing-gives-commanders-leeway-to-target-queep/

All he really needs to say is look at Col Palenske at the 1 SOW and march with him.

Yeah... order didn’t make sense to me either. That is an impossible pushline.

Sorry, it’s tier 1, 1a, 1b or something like that. Basically the order of strength of strats. #1 Major is better than #1/120 as FGO Of the Universe. #1/53 ADOs etc. Standard command push... SDE, JCS then Sq/CC

ITZ 2x FGO OTY at Sq level. #2 as FGO PRO OTY at the Group Level. FGO OTQ at the GP level. Numerous category 1b levil strats. 2/7 squadron ccs and 2/14 joint O4s Two squadron commands under my belt while deployed. Currently commanding 130 folks in Maintenance Operations. Absolutely no overall major strats.

My OPR closed out in Dec. “2/10 Maj’s in YG” WG/CC. 1/3 in YG OG/CC. PRF result: 4/13 I/APZ... if I had one more DP to give... It’s going to be a long six months. Especially with cyber bros having billions of dollars in impact. Timing is everything. I’ve never been good at that.

So they can take away what I’ve signed up for and my commitment is gone?

U-28s rock. The lifestyle is rough but man it has been a ride. TAMI-21 messed me over as well but it has been a great experience overall. Put what you truly want and realize you may get it and then get it taken away from you.

Big Safari done right?

At least they are coming out and saying what they want with the caveats.

AFI 36-3003 4.1.1.7. Leave Begins and Ends in the Local Area. The local area is the place where the member lives and from which he or she commutes to the duty station. Charge leave forduty days and non-duty days (for example, Friday through Monday) when members take leave on the day before and the day after non-duty days. This applies to leave taken in the local area. Exception: When a member’s leave ends on a day before a non-duty day, the commander may authorize leave on the next duty day for an emergency situation and not charge leave for the non-duty days. If the member knew of the emergency situation before his or her departure on the original leave, charge the member leave for the weekend or other non-duty days. TLDR: Can't take leave Fri and the following Monday without taking four days. Stupid rule.
