Day Man

Since the IG was brought up in the SARC thread, I figured I'd post up my experiences with that route... After being notified of the AMC/CC decision to disqualify me, I filed an IG complaint at my WG/IG for 2 reasons: 1. My case took 363 days to process; AFI 11-402, paragraph 1.10 says "When an aircrew member or parachutist is suspended pending disqualification, MAJCOMs will complete processing of the case within 180 days." 2. I was notified of the FEB on 18 Feb 2011. AFI 11-402 table 4.1 note 4 states "Notification to the respondent must be done within 5 calendar days of the occurrence of circumstances requiring FEB action." The Wg-level IG concluded it was a MAJCOM issue, so my complaint was forwarded to AMC/IG, who decided AMC/A3T would be the best ones to answer my questions. Their reply: 1. "Our review finds that the referenced paragraph 1.10. is not part of the Chapter 4 Flight Evaluation Board (FEB) instruction and not part of the FEB prescribed timelines. The 180-day timeline begins after convening authority makes a recommendation and FEB package arrives at the MAJCOM. The intent is to ensure wings do not suspend individual pending disqualification for lengthy periods without taking appropriate action to resolve the suspension. While the FEB took more than 180 days to complete, because an FEB was in process, we feel the wing and this HQ were constantly working toward resolution of the suspension." 2. "After discussions with the Air Staff OPR, our review found that, though the definition of "occurrence of circumstances" appears vague, it is not intended to be the date of the flight incident. It is believed that the date of the "occurrence of circumstances" in this case is the date the wing commander made his decision after review of his Commander-Directed Investigation. While it is difficult to discern exactly when that decision was reached, it appears to be within the 5 day rule." The 1st one is BS because they say it doesn't apply, then go on to explain how it applies. Ridiculous. The 2nd one is BS because even if their interpretation of "occurrence of circumstances" stands, I have a document stating WG/CC approved the CDI 21 days before notification of the FEB. Because of these BS answers, I submitted a SAF/IG complaint this April...the only correspondence I've received was acknowledging it had been 60 days since they received my complaint.

Seems like they have enough video to press charges...hopefully as adults for attempted murder

if people are voting based on ethnicity, they deserve what they get

Maybe sit the next one out, Fud...

Helms says "F this, I'm out!"

That's offensive...how could you possibly do your job with that on?

if it's not documented in your medical records, they won't ever know.

Great Goldeneye (and history probably) reference

sounds awesome! what kind of bike will you be on? good luck man!

I LOL'd

Some sleuthing led to me find that it was also in the 475th Fighter Group, predecessor to the 53d WEG currently at Eglin.

Has the denial of sexually-themed material been proven to decrease sexual-assaults? Based on Catholic priests and bible-belt teen moms, I would argue the opposite... Edit: I don't think anyone disagrees with you here.

Jesus. to Luc

sweet...thanks. turns out I am a ra-tard.

This is what I see...the "reputation" is visible because I was hovering over it.

anyway we can get the names displayed again of who up/downvoted something? it saved the bandwidth of adding just a "2" reply, and gave some SA on other guys opinions/positions...

Atheist here...a bro had something come up so I took over Chrismahanukwanzaka party planning. Took it as an opportunity to make the party as fun as possible and ignore any religious overtones. I'm pretty sure it was a good time...

Good work man... appreciate the effort.

read my SIB/FEB thread...

Low risk/low reward

Still pisses me off they put a picture of Sitka 43 ~2 seconds from impact on the cover. And 2 on everything said about lawyering-up/not saying anything to anyone.

Not privileged, used in the CDI & FEB. Agree with the bolded part...one of their super important CDI questions was "why we weren't wearing our deployed sq patch"...their intent was obvious.

False.

Perfect! Out of curiosity, what configuration does the Erroneous ALS/Stall Warnings (Nose Damage) checklist recommend? (Hint: it's not 8 degrees of flaps) No way man...like I said before I'm lucky to be here. In fact, I'm glad the AF showed me what they really think relatively early in my career. When I needed guidance, my leadership was nowhere to be found. Both my WG/CC and SQ/CC told me they were hopeful for the final outcome and I was instructed to be "ready to fly" when the decision came down. 2 years later they both signed off on my referral OPR.
