Motorcycle Riders Thread
Funny, that was my response as well. The military's abstinence-only approach to sport bike riding just doesn't work. I told them to contact me (as they asked) at the end of the survey as I would love to assist in developing a meaningful, practical and safe program to sport bike riding but haven't gotten any response. edit: On an unrelated note, anyone been to Hallett Motor Racing Circuit about 80 miles east of Vance AFB?

Really interesting video/documentary on the IOM TT by of all people, Al Jazeera: Anyone else get a survey a couple weeks ago asking your opinion on three sport bike safety videos?

U-2 Dragonlady info
My old college friend is an editor at Motor Trend and they are interested in doing a story on the new Camaro chase cars Beale is purchasing. He was wondering if you guys have any contacts for this that could get the ball rolling. He says, and I quote "If it helps, the video host we'd send is hot." If you don't want to post the info publicly, you can PM me.

Appealing a promotion board
In my first "welcome to the squadron" meeting with the CC, he had a print out of my SURF. We went through it line by line and everything that needed to be corrected was highlighted. The more I read these stories, the more I realize how helpful that actually was.

For anyone wondering the solution to my original problem, the reg is 30 days return from a deployment to a PCS. Anything sooner requires a waiver.

Question: Is there a min time allowed between returning from a deployment and when you leave for a TDY en route to a PCS? Also, are holidays factored into it? It's looking like I may get back in mid Dec and TDY en route class starts Jan 15th. I am concerned because of the Christmas/New Years holidays. Do you think this will be a problem? I am single with no family in the area. Also, I scoured 36-2110 but didn't see anything.
