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.

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...

"Pride Month" at your AFB?
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...

C-17 4-engine flameout/SIB/FEB questions in here
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.

No thrust from 1 & 4. There ended up being some damage to the cores from over-temping. We initially thought they were back online when all engine tapes looked good, but that was apparently just from windmilling. No idea about the same treatment. They said we landed in the wrong configuration, but no one still has told me the right configuration.

I know what I did wasn't procedurally correct. Have you read the whole thread? I didn't want to inhibit relight by denying the engines fuel. Was there a point (time/altitude) where I would resume checklist items? Probably. Do I know what it was? No, but it's probably something that should be discussed (I don't know if it's in the current -1). The point of this thread is to discuss the incident, an SIB, and an FEB...kinda like the title says. I knew nothing of how an SIB or FEB was conducted, and would like to help out guys who might have to go through it as well. If that bothers you, don't view it.

My point was if I was guaranteed a safe landing again, I wouldn't do anything different. If I had turned the fuel switches off, would the engines had relit in time? If we had gone into holding to sort shit out, would 1 & 4 eventually catch fire? No one knows. We were lucky...if you want to test your theories (not in a sim), have at it. Do I recommend this COA for the next guy? Probably not.

Valid points. Obviously nothing happened to any leadership. There's a whole section in the CDI regarding the "culture within the OG"... - Dec 09 to Dec 10, 62 OG approved 270% more waivers than 437 OG (KCHS) - A DO said "We had a guy during post-mission crew rest go to Altus without having any of the sims, flights, etc. That was fairly routine." - 62 OG pilots had the highest rate of CAP at KLTS

There were 2 pilots. For the record, we didn't have any issues at Skardu And yes the pallets were essentially the same; food, water, blankets, etc.
