Airlift and RPA here. Great comments above, so I’ll just add one point. When I look back at my career, 100% of the things I was involved in that made the news, moved the needle on national security, or will be recorded as a footnote in an obscure history text happened in the RPA. Yes the majority of time in the seat in RPA is boring compared to manned. But you rarely have to wonder if the interesting times matter.

This, along with uniforms and the logo, are the main things being talked about outside the USSF launch team, actually. (Not even joking. If you can’t do something impactful, better do something visible...).
So far the lead contenders are “Vangaurds”, and “Sentinels”. Sounds a bit space-adventurey/2001-ish if you ask me.
Im surprised they aren’t considering other options...

As much as it seems it shouldn’t, these things matter. Look at the stumbles in the AF over the last 30 years in logo/motto/slogan/creed/uniforms as we’ve tried to balance modernization with heritage and culture (all while fighting for relevance). They need to get this right, so heritage and culture can grow from the start.

So, it’s official. It’s in the NDAA. And there’s a website. https://www.spaceforce.mil
Looks like everyone that was in AFSPC is now in the USSF. They’re still Airmen in the Air Force, but will transition in the next 18 months

I definitely have more to tell, but unfortunately due to some recent developments, this thing isn’t over. Good for me and the kids, bad for her.
As far as the military retirement, we were married for 12 years but she didn’t care about it. It was obvious she just wanted cash right away. So I get to keep 100% of that.

Looks like there's one right by Sheppard. Anyone have experience there?
My kid did jiujitsu at the ymca near Sheppard. We were happy with it. He taught an adult class too.

Loss of prefix on your duty history is contraindicated for promotion.

AF is considering letting you choose if the score counts. If you failed, and you’re not overdue, it’s ‘practice.’

If you or your spouse sew (my wife is a quilter), don’t use a US machine on 50hz. It’ll jack up the timing, even with a transformer. Check the label to make sure it’s 50/60hz before plugging it in.

I actually really like that idea as well. Can we get General Chang as a guest AMA?
Chang was better.

What exactly are Unconstitutional Obamacare changes?
Employee reporting delay, Medicare advantage, conscience mandate, premium assistance credits, disregarding statutory fpl floor, employer sponsored credit extension, delayed auto enrollment, tax credits for illegal immigrants, closing the high risk pool, and 32 other ‘fixes’ that were unilaterally implemented in direct contravention of the law that was passed by Congress (the legislative branch).

Holding to a penetration approach. Then back to holding. Looks routine.

Yeah, that's my point. For folks who are leaving this summer, it makes sense for the losing unit to do them. But for folks like me, who will have been gone for well over a year by the time the next PRFs are done, it makes no sense at all. But how will AFIT strat folks?!

New 36-2903 just hit the streets. Brown boots now ok with green flight suit. Leather A2 jacket now ok with 2 piece ocp flight suit. Now legal to sew Velcro to 2 piece flight suit for mandatory wings. Patch location swapped for hhq and squadron patches. All effective immediately.

If some things are “in vogue”, what things are “out vogue”?
“In vogue” means something is in style or generally preferred.
“Out of vogue” means something is no longer in style or preferred.
“Straight out of Vogue” means something is really in style.

I prefer a three piece flight suit

You should see the JTAC PT test.... that thing is brutal.
I actually like the battlefield airman tier 2 test. Way too complex for the masses, but a much more relevant assessment.

If you buy coreldraw, you can do it too. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

Maybe we should use doctors to identify health risks. Roll the body comp into the pha and use medical solutions for medical problems. If you absolutely must use nonmedical fitness testers for a ‘health’ assessment, mitigate with an inbody scanner for visceral fat level, not a meaningless tape measure.
If I we’re king for a day, I’d make it simple, functional, and occupationally relevant. 4 part test, no gender bias. No universal. ‘passing score.’ Minimums are based on AFSC with potential different standards for accession and for retention. Retention decisions are completely commander’s business.
1. Squat - 75% body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep
2. Overhead press - 33% body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep
3. Deadlift - body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep
4. 20m shuttle run - max 20m lengths in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per length

Gender neutral and age neutral pt test. Run a mile and a half. Calculate your vo2 max from your run time. Multiply by your height and divide by your waist size. Voila, pt score.
