ROTC Budget Cuts
Not a big deal. OTS accessions are designed to be elastic for this exact reason. If, in a few years the AF can't get the required number of 2LT's from ROTC and USAFA, they just put more people through OTS. Also, you're operating under the assumption that a one-year temporary reduction can't be made up later. It's not the end of the world.

Exactly what do you think continuation is?

Promotion and PRF Information
100% of APZ pilots with DP got it. Only one APZ pilot with a P got it, and with no SOS in res or AAD. I guess there must be more to the story than just statistics.

Does your degree/major matter?
Shouldn't hurt you. Best part would be not having to worry about advanced academic degrees when you should be focusing on flying. Worst part would be the risk of ending up with the callsign 'doc'.

One of my favorite handguns is my T33 so I buy the x25 all the time. It usually runs me around $26 for a box of 50 and I never have trouble finding it, even recently. Heck, the BX here got 6 boxes in just this last week for around that price.

Besides, if you turn off your computer at night, how can they make you do those 30 second forced restarts?

Why bother with a tug when you can hand push it out. That way you save money on the tug and the taxi while getting PT at the same time.

It is much better to come clean about any kind of legal stuff early and explain how you've improved your decision making since then. Even if you can't find it, the investigators will.

Just don't post a picture of your kid holding it on Facebook. That 25 round 'clip' automatically turns it into an assault rifle.

Fair enough. Just something to keep in the crosscheck. I've seen a few people get box checker MBA's on AD with the intent of springboarding their civilian career by getting a 'real' MBA when they get out. Not a bad plan, but I try to steer folks to other box checker degrees if their after-AD plans include an MBA.

I'd like to know if you think the AFCAM placement is appropriate.

Enlisted pin-on question
An outstanding suggestion. IMHO something we don't do enough for our support Airmen to help them understand the mission.

If they do that, I'd like to see a standardized price for FFL transfers. I've seen everything from free (military special deal in the Sheppard area) to $75. It would be nice if there was a set price of $15 or so for an FFL enabled transaction (internet or private). But then, I already like using an FFL for private transfers so it is recorded somewhere and there is a way to prove what you own (or lack of ownership).

True until this line. Most quality MBA programs will not let you in if you already have an MBA. Getting a crappy MBA burns that bridge.

You've gotta watch those speeding tickets. At a certain number, you require a moral waiver. At another number, you are no longer eligible to join the AF.

Dang Spoo, my computer froze with just the picture with your signature block below. Funny thing is that it worked so well, I thought that it was what you'd posted...
