    Commuting to drill

    in General Discussion

    As long as this thread is still here...

    What do you consider a "commuter" when it comes to TRs?  How far away does a guy have to live before he's no longer "local?"  1-2 hours drive time?  3?  What if your unit is in the middle of nowhere, but you still want to live in a city?  I understand there is a Reasonable Commuting Distance, but what is the "real world" answer?

    I need some advice

    If you want to fly, do it.  Flying is the best job in the world.  Everyone I know has had good days, bad days, and days where we've wondered if we've made the right life choices, but no one has regretted it.

    Sport bitching is just part of being aircrew!

    Chances for heavy unit?

    I'm living proof that in can be done.

    I was an active duty nav and was 30 when I interviewed with my unit.  Now I start UPT in March.  I recently met another active duty nav in a similar situation who is even older than I am.  He's on his way to a Reserve unit via UPT, too.  Age is a total non-factor for some Reserve units right now.  Getting the ETP waiver for age and TFCS was the easiest part of the entire process.

    If you want to go to UPT, don't give up and don't think you're out of the game just because you require an ETP waiver.  If the unit wants you, they will make it happen.

    What's wrong with the Air Force?

    Transgender Awareness Training. I can't believe we are enacting policy to accommodate people with mental illness. I guess we learned nothing from Bradley/Chelsea Manning.

    Bending over backwards to accommodate a tiny percentage of the overall population while doing nothing to address the pilot exodus.  Nice work, Big Blue.  I'm glad we have our priorities in order.

    My Squadrons hiring chair text me saying that results are rumored to be released late tomorrow.

    Stay Tuned!

    I heard a rumor that the results will be out by June 6th.

    This is the Air Force.  Don’t believe anything until after you see it for yourself.

    Naviuesser, any ability to elaborate on the waiver applications and or the circumstances that were waived?

    No.  I just saw the raw numbers.  I'm pretty sure everyone who had a waiver was sponsored.

    I may be alone here, but I actually think a depressed voter turnout is not necessarily a bad thing.  Have you met most people?  I don't want the typical ill-informed American citizen voting.  If they're too lazy/preoccupied to educate themselves on issues and current events, then they don't need to be casting votes.  Let the people who actually pay attention have more of a say.  If others choose to disenfranchise themselves, then I say let them be.
