Cops are even worse. Be advised, at this time. How copy, my copy? Tango victor mike.

The Cadet Sight Picture restricts facial hair.

Other than the fact that they are based on the H-60 platform, there's not a lot in common between the PR mission and the UH-60 mission. The Huey mission (almost half of the AF helo fleet) is pretty diverse as well. Everything from DV support, SERE support, NCR contingency ops, ICBM security, and civil SAR (on occasion).

SIB is out.

Does the site not get updated that often? The Minot Huey mishap and the Kadena -60 mishap are on the respective MAJCOMs FOIA page but not on the AIB website.

The 120th Fighter Wing (F-15C) at Great Falls is now the 120th Airlift Wing (C-130H).

A man your man could be like.

We got a memo outlining that you can only perform static displays at your own bases open house. Anything that requires travel requires some ridiculous level of approval. We can't fly two hours to an airshow in Kalispell, MT that would feature the T-Birds.

Concur. I have the same gun. Bore snake and a small brush to clean the chamber. I haven't taken it apart for almost three years. Only malfunctions I've had are a couple stove pipes every now and then.

13N is the worse of the two

His and the 341st OG/CCs future assignment as the 91st MW/CC are on hold. The fact remains that it has been over a month since the story broke and nobody has been held accountable for the scandal. How fast would they have been fired in the SAC days?

No one has been fired here yet. A Wg/CC who failed an NSI and now this, plus a OG/CC who created said climate causing the cheating. I would like to know where the accountability is.

I went to a conference a few years back that had a rep from Sikorski discussing the Joint Multi-Role Helicopter program. One of the points of the discussion was how the Navy requirements are some of the main constraints placed upon any new joint helo program. He said that if the CH-46 footprint requirement would not have existed, the prop-rotors for the V-22 would have been better optimized for hover. This would have greatly reduced, if not eliminated, the downwash and engine performance problems.

Are You Smarter than a Nuclear Launch Officer?

Translation: Many commanders will still require it, just like the reflective belts.

Is the MC-12 considered an ALFA tour or a cross-flow MWS?

Air Force Inspection System. Replaced the IG for some base level inspections to save TDY costs. However it just creates more additional duties

It is hilarious. Probably not so much for the cops and helos that were escorting the thing. "Well that's a debrief item!"

But Enterprise has the Boll Weevil monument! #1 activity on Trip Advisor.

One of our pilots and FEs got pinged for this. Long list of things to discuss and I hope it will bring to light the core issues facing the ICBM crewforce. As long as the people selected are actually from the trenches and not the shiny pennies, it may have a chance.

Where's Chang when you need him?

Jack Broughton did not strafe the ship. He just stood up for his subordinates and destroyed the gun camera footage of the aircraft that did.

If a missileer is assigned to EWO/Weapons Shop/Scripts/OGV they do not pull alert. This means that the people making the tests are not currently CMR. The wing and group leadership do not pull alert. I think that the sq leadership pulls alert but not too often. Also the instructor/evaluator dynamic is much different than in the flying world. Evaluators are not instructors and then only for their crew position. So if you are a deputy commander (co-pilot) you first pull crew, then you upgrade to instructor, then to evaluator, Once they move to crew commander (AC) then they start the entire process again.

I think that the debrief culture and feedback is why the icbm wic was stood up. They're always looking to see how aircrew brief and prepare for sorties. Unfortunately, as was just mentioned, the most effective tool that we have is the debrief, and that will not happen unless you have a nearly complete gutting of the Sr. CGOs on up.
