CMSAF sounds pretty racist.

Guard to Pit?
If that’s what you want to do, get hired by a UPT Reserve squadron and go to USAFR. If you want to go back to your Guard unit in 4 years, see if they’ll take you back. There’s no 1288-type process to go from a state asset to a federal asset.

AU Portal is up right now. Couldn't get in this morning.- Long commutes to units?
I made the jumpseat commute to a unit 9 hours away for 6 months and gave up. I don’t think it’s long-term realistic, especially starting out. If the unit is #1, move to your unit city and figure out the civilian job there. Edit: I’m assuming you’re flying since you’re on a pilot board, in which case once a month is also unrealistic unless that’s once for many days.- Where Did The Myth of Needing an Engineering Degree Come From?
My ROTC offering even specified “Electrical Engineering.” Nah.- The new airline thread
Don’t be fooled. The Bobs will put any of us on the street to save themselves. Even SWA.- Non-Flying TR jobs
What do 16R4s do? "Planning and Programming" Is that XP? Lots of TR and IMA openings nationwide.- The new airline thread
Yep. Created out of thin air. Looks like a good job by APA.- The new airline thread
"Offering early retirements" means nothing in modern airlines. With no A plan at most carriers (and those with A plans aren't hurting right now), you walk away with nothing extra if you leave at age 61 or 64+364.- Airshows and COVID-19
Attendance will suffer, either on a person basis from the media fear-mongering or because local governing bodies will outlaw mass gatherings.- Brown Nominated to be Next CSAF
Holding out hope that any CSAF will materially improve life for airmen is just asking for disappointment. The best we can hope is he just doesn't further f it up.- Brown Nominated to be Next CSAF
Seems like a warfighter at least, and hasn’t been out of the ops world for too long.- Finally done in Afghanistan?
At least we can finally quit pretending they’re going to maintain a functioning Air Force after we’re gone.- Goldfein changes AF Song...gender neutral
“Pot of gold” is Irish cultural appropriation.- The new airline thread
The only thing keeping you from getting called for the interview might be felonies and drugs, but there are still plenty of ways to f up the interview, and not giving it the proper respect is the first way.- The new airline thread
Since you asked twice, I’ll assume it’s a genuine question. Doing virtual stuff at home. Gotta have a telecommute agreement, approval, etc. Usually CBTs, OPRs...- It's Official, OCPs are Coming!
Wear the ball cap.- MAFFS C-17?
Lightweight Vr I'll believe. With 132k of stuff in the back, low level, in turbulence? Not so much. I'm not trying to discredit the paper Clark linked, but when they assume 100kt retardant drop speeds, it makes me question the rest of their assumptions.- MAFFS C-17?
That’s cool, but can a C-17 fly 100 knots!?!- WTF? (**NSFW**)
