Sanity check - Should we buy our dream home?
Memory is fuzzy, but I seem to remember filling out an 'intent to occupy as primary residence' last time I qualified for a VA loan.

ADSC Waiver to Retire
Good topic. Which ADSCs are waiverable if you're eligible to retire? Promotion? PCS? IDE/SDE?

AFI36-3003 4.1.1.2. Unit Approval Level. Unit commanders are the approval authority for annual leave requests and normally delegate approval to a level no lower than the first-line supervisor. Supervisor is just the lower-limit of delegation. Talk to your flt/cc about what happened. Should be an easy fix.- C146 Wolfhound Info

Do it. Good flying. Good location. Good people.- Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
The question isn't if they showed it to him. They almost certainly did. My question is which passages did they highlight/extract into the BLUF. Those who pare and control content also control the conversation.- Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
Standups are going to get a lot easier... Your engine fails on takeoff---Boldface applies: EJECTION HANDLE - PULL You have an oil overtemp---Boldface applies: EJECTION HANDLE - PULL You have a gen fail---Boldface applies: EJECTION HANDLE - PULL etc... Or, we could continue to teach airmanship and a PIC mentality.- Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
The one on TPN? The idiocy of that dude's question almost baited me into a response. I really wonder if the people coming up with these ideas are actually pilots.- Gun Talk
Both are state by state. In Oregon, age is a protected trait, 18 and up.- Gun Talk
The best part is that it's Oregon. Therefore, rulings regarding cake sales should be immediately relevant.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Interesting choice by Dick's Sporting Goods today (https://pressroom.dicks.com/press-information/media-statements.aspx?camp=sns::20180227). Most of the headlines are focusing on the company's decision to stop selling AR-15s, along with their encouraging an AWB. Not much to see here, as it's totally up to them what they choose to sell. More interesting to me is their choice to limit sales of firearms to persons 21 and up. I'm no lawyer, but I thought that the CRA limited a business's ability to deny service based on protected traits. In many states, age has been added to that list of protected traits. Obviously, this wouldn't apply to something limited by law (like alcohol sales age, or existing laws on gun sales), but if someone is legally of age to buy a rifle, can a business legally discriminate based on age and deny the sale? Edit to add, the average age for mass shooters is 34, with the preponderance being white males. Just imagine if their discrimination criteria was "we won't sell guns to whites, males, or people between 30 and 39."- AFSOC Leadership Drain
What's changed? Do they know something the average person doesn't? Specifically, are they worried about Gen Webb or Gen Thomas being replaced by someone coming up that has historically exhibited very different leadership priorities?- AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Open architecture sells the scorpion for me, but it already seems to be out. I think a-29 would fit the bill well too, better if they adopt open architecture. For the AT-6, after perusing the OBOGS thread, I can't fathom it being considered for combat.- Wing Re-Org Test
So, if functions are pulled to A-staff if they support multiple sqs across the wing, why is there still a comm sq instead of straight A6? Barring cyber, doesn't that (and most of the other MSG functions) belong under that umbrella?- Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
Yep, dude finally snapped out of the troll identity a few crises ago, made a few value-added posts, then disappeared for awhile.- What's wrong with the Air Force?

Sounds exactly like lockheed's brief during the F-35 factory tour I went on 10 years ago. They were bragging that they wanted a 'virtual gear handle' to go with all the other touchscreen tech, but DOD made them put in a real handle so pilots would feel better about it...- WTF? (**NSFW**)

MQ9 SOs aren't the only community that uses/screws up gimbals.- I need some advice
Throughout your career, you'll face a number of key choices from which there is no return. I can say with confidence that I have no regrets for any choice I've made that was based on what I love or who I love. The only ones I wish I could take back were ALL centered on 'what will this do for my career?' Follow your passion, and take care of the people that are close to you. - What's wrong with the Air Force?
