The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Probably worth a whole thread. I read all that and I would like to see actual proof versus some brave anonymous CCT on the internet calling this woman out by name and exposing things that I guarantee he’s not privy to. For example…the offer of some ST student (female or not) to get fast tracked to the 24th STS makes zero sense and wreaks of rumor amongst students. No way did that happen.

Bone Marrow Donation
I just got pinged that I was ID’d as a bone marrow match for someone in need. What would that do for my Mil/Civilian medical? DNIF for a bit during recovery?

Need Advice. Casual LT with family hardship
Recruiter, local assignment, and even a humanitarian assignment would be doable. 100% have a plan and put in the work so when you present a plan, you help aid the CC in decision making. It may be unpleasant, but also have the diagnosis and prognosis factored into your “pitch” to your boss. Best of luck.

AD USAF to USN Reserves
You got it. Also plan to apply for VT-10 and see what happens. Looking at the application it’s basically the same as AF application but in funny Navy speak. One thing my bro in that squadron told me is that there isn’t the rushing the frat style ANG thing which is pretty interesting to me. Honestly glad about that after basically wasting a couple grand flying to multiple units (admittedly got multiple offers/interviews) just before covid hit and losing all of that with nothing to show for it.

AD USAF to USN Reserves
Anyone ever heard of it? Any advice? Standard POC on the announcement is like trying to find Bin Laden before that redhead got on the case. Looking at possibly making the jump and teaching NFO’s while tooling around in a T-45. Or a Super Hornet if they’ll take me.

Everyone should be jealous of this Air Force pilot skateboarding down the flight line...
Can confirm there’s a Viper pilot at a Reserve unit that rides one of those hoverboards to the jets and around the squadron. Even better because it’s got the light up wheels so you’d see him coming down the dark hallways like a traveling circus.

Changing/Switching airframes
I promoted to 1st Lt in IFF and I was the only butter bar in my class of 10. 9 months casual (aka best 9 months of my life) 1 year UPT 1 month break to start IFF My dad went through UPT in 1969 and was incredulous that we sat around that long. GD hater.

Does any normal person actually buy into this shit or is it just the Twitter sphere?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Interesting takes and just saw all this. The most interesting part to me is the implication that asking guys to do their job is some active duty shit that the guard wouldn’t tolerate and it’s all about airline PIC time. Uhh…I’ve been in a TFI unit (fighter) and ANG dudes are absolutely not like that. I’ve seen those dudes fly in weather that AD guys would cancel 99/100 times. And canceling an airline flight because you don’t feel like it with no extenuating circumstances besides your gut when you’re legal to go? Good luck with that.

GI-Bill commitment waiver?
I don’t have the reg citation, but I believe if the person you transferred the bill to hasn’t used the benefits, you can nullify them ADSC. Now getting the AFPC E-4 to understand that…

Paying back bonus and getting out
If you love the Air Force, why don’t you stay in? I know of a guy in the F-15 that made multiple millions on a Vegas jackpot that stayed in for similar reasons.

Paying back bonus and getting out
If you want to gamble, send me a lot of this new money and put the remainder in Bitcoin. Try to beat that hamster.

New BUFF Engines (Finally)
I’d seriously hope with an existing time that it wouldn’t take multiple years to field. And is TOLD in a BUFF that major of an event? Not like you’re doing austere ops out of dirt strips where you’re gnats assing it.

New BUFF Engines (Finally)
Is this engine a new design? It seems like you could cut a ton of time off of that.

Flying Videos Thread Part 2?
I remember min airspeed in BFM exceeded VNE in most bug smashers by ~69 Knots. I think you strap some 9X’s to a U-28 and they’ll be lethal to the low, slow crowd.

Finally done in Afghanistan?
I hope not. They did the best with what they had and the outcome isn’t their fault.

Gen Milley should resign
I hate to admit it, but you’re probably right. This case could be amazing for actually showing that the military gave a shit about mental health and helped a guy who served honorably for 17 years.

Finally done in Afghanistan?
I know a bit about this and I’ll just say that we need to stop taking target correlation for granted in the DoD. Even with all the technology in the world, there’s a reason you start the 12 step CAS process back over if you don’t pass step 8 (correlation).

Gen Milley should resign
Maybe I’m just overly sensitive but this is the cherry on top of my subterranean morale in the USMIL lately. Wtf is going on!
