Is O-6 really a carrot these days? Congrats @Dogs-N-Guns, I just received my approval for retirement.

Another good article, same topic, at The Drive: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/extremely-ominous-warning-about-china-from-us-strategic-command-chief

I was gonna suggest this should go in the WTF thread, but it fits here I guess.
So, in time honored tradition (BUFF, Warthog, Viper), now that Big Blue has proudly stamped their nerd moniker on this thing, what are we actually going to call it?
So, do you get to earn your red wings as well?

Let's not talk about low SA on her part during ground ops after saving Jon's a** as he was about to be overrun.

AIB is out. It was uploaded on the C-130 Hercules Aircrew facebook page. Just wow and disbelief.

#4 fire, #2 throttle stuck at 12k in/lbs.
Damn! Was is a binding of the #2 throttle, i.e. jammed or unresponsive engine?

Well, it IS a herk, although the norm is one shutdown. But two is something. The AMP birds didn't fly for quite some time at LRF.

This is the type of innovation we need. I want to be optimistic that this will become the new AERPS, but I'll be a realist. Although it's been quite some time since I last wore AERPS, this looks much more comfortable and practical.

Just got back from the AOR and It's already a uniform bonanza out there. Between ABUs, OCPs, Army OCPs, OCP Flight Suits, Normal Tan Flight Suits....and the best part is no one seemed to give a shit what you were wearing, which was refreshing.
Perhaps it depends on the location. Fortunately I've been deployed to some locations where nobody gives a flying f$%k, but that's what happens when the Navy runs the base and USAF is in the minority.

Army Sergeant Majors already do this at Hurbie
Great, now it's not only Chiefing from the USAF, but from the Army as well. Ha

How long until some Chiefs call out aircrew for not blousing their pants? Overall, it's about time and good riddance to green boots!

Shit! Here here.

That's what I figured. I looked at the regs and JTR and came to the same conclusion. Oh well. At least the weather is nice up here! It's a good problem to have, since my C-130J requal is driving the early July PDD.

Has anyone departed OCONUS back to the States prior to their PDD and DEROS month? My PDD is 2 July and has us travelling during the Canada and U.S. holidays (their version is called Canada Day, original, right?). I talked to my assignments counselor, but didn't get a warm fuzzy. Depending on TMO dates, I expect that we can leave Canada on 29 Jun. It'll take too long to change my DEROS month. Can I take leave prior to my PDD so I can depart earlier and will this affect per diem and other associated PCS costs if we accomplish all of our travel while on leave? Has anyone heard from FinanceGuy lately?
-
Nope nope nope. We have to be different some way. What about blue boots?
-
Wouldn't that be something if we went back to black boots. What's old is new again. If/when we go to OCPs, I bet it will be tan boots with flightsuits.
-
Is there a breakdown by Year Group and/or MWS?

Rumor is the USAF will be adopting OCPs to replace the ABU this year...
That's a rumor I can get behind. Hope it's true. Although, the Canadians I work with like my ABUs and how well I blend in with the cubicles.

I’m not an Academy grad but what “if” the academy became a place that groomed pilots. I’m talking 69%+ get an aviation sciences major, full up flight education like an Embry riddle flight program for the military.
Why are we giving free education to history majors who want to be finance officers?
Well, all cadets are issued flight suits.

Word on the street is that the Aircrew Task Force colluded with the Russians to hack Baseops.net.

There’s an ADSC with the bonus. I don’t think a buy-out is an option unless they’re paying you to fail consecutive PT tests.I don't think the idea that it's a buy out from the bonus, but an offer better than what the AF is giving right now to entice those from taking the bonus.

All great ideas.

What have you guys done or plan to do with your jackets once out of the Air Force? Donate, sell, keep and wear it?
