You're looking at flying in your home unit - if you can't walk over and have them answer these questions, you've got bigger issues.

I can't believe it - all these replies without... I mean it's a softball... C'mon guys. Reread the original post and bring your A-game.

That's why I wanted PM, now the element of surprise is gone. Plus, bacon is way better than candy. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Arkansas Bacon Fest tomorrow (Sat, 13 Sep) at the Arkansas State fairgrounds. TDY, need a ride? PM me or meet me at the TLF (chapel side) at 1130. Gov

Dangerous precedent - Firing Generals for having guys working on AAD and PT over their primary duty. Do we fire the entire AF?

Sorry for the result on your end, but just to reassure you, we had an extensive rehash of all the data in last years' CRM topic at my current base. We also did the same, with some great discussion at my previous squadron. Not sure where the disconnect is, but I felt confident that both of my squadrons were pretty extensively informed. Both reserve squadrons I might add, but the CRM classes had both active and Reserve dudes in it.

Too soon?

Announcement very shortly on others as well.

FIFY her

Only if she was in status while "educating him." However, her CC can use other administrative actions at his/her discretion.

Just brought a tear to my eye. Everything up through the night before was the same, except I remember that the sequence of events was clearly, mask down, puke over side, mask up, start number two, taxi out, avoid new FOD.

Spent my night in jail for it.

Ramadan was a couple months ago

Will not affect security clearance. Call the legal and P/A guys at your unit. That being said, the hardest part of dealing with USERRA cases are the commitment of the employee to follow through with them (fear of retribution, future hostile work environment, etc.). I've staved off a few potential issues with letters to employers - first a nice one. Good luck on this.

In before...........

Yikes. He derailed any momentum we had with that jet. Flew with him a couple times. I'll refrain from stories except after a little brown liquor in the 300AS bar. Gov

That was in the e-mail we received last week from A-3 - the 2-Star- addressed to all AFRC Wings.

In the interest of full disclosure, anyone I won a beer from for the "no hands rejoin or final turn", pm me for a refund - my gloves on the mirrors were my spares. Sorry if I just revealed anyone's pet trick.

Crew not detained - just slipped 24. Didn't know anything was up until they read it in the paper after they got back

Buddy of mine is IP in Tweet, student on last ride before washing out for airsickness. Halfway through the acro in the area, IP looks over and there is a pink froth spiraling down the kid's O2 hose.(Evidently he had washed his spicy sausage dog down with a strawberry soda). He knows the guy has puked and can hear him gagging so he tells him to just drop his mask and fess up. When he drops his mask my buddy can't help but look over, and he sees that the mass of puked up sausage dog and pink soda is actually moving! He proceeds to spew all over the cockpit, far exceeding the damage done by the student. Diagnosis - pinworms - the student puked so hard they came up with everything else. Bon Appetit.

One of the things officer promotion boards look at is break in service. To keep this from being a big deal, when coming up for a board, submit a letter of explanation to the board with the PRF and other paperwork. It's just something else that stands out when the board is shuffling through all the candidates, but any explanation (short of being in jail for that break) will usually be good enough. As far as enlisted promotions, it generally is not a factor.

We didn't do the whole exercise in '07, just the campbell-cairo drop and a few of the "friendship lifts", but I have a couple notes. In lieu of passports we got some f-ed up sticker from the Egyptians that went on the back of our CAC cards (I think it ruined all of them when we tried to take them off afterwards). We got all that done during some of the briefs at Campbell. I would push (I think it was in the EXORD) to stage out of HECW vs. HECA. Trying to do any formation or non-standard arrival, to include time control, is a nightmare at a busy international airport. I did one of the full up Bright Stars back in the day, and HECW worked much better, and it's not that bad of a drive into town - you can get the drivers to race. The no alcohol/gambling was some AMC weenie's idea of control, no rhyme or reason - we just went over to the Hard Rock to do our drinking and gambling. I thought the vans for each crew was a great deal, if you coordinated the day prior. We would use our guy for a specified 3-4 hour block each day, and take taxis to dinner, drinking gambling on the other times. Have fun.

My bad - didn't know this forum would come up on a mil computer. I'll stand in the corner for a while.
