Good one, boom. Psst...your inferiority complex/jealousy is showing. Take your trolling elsewhere.

Academy informant program
Are you surprised? These are the same people that blamed the -22 pilot for going hypoxic and crashing (later disputed by an IG report).

I don't know how to ask this without sounding like an asshole or belittling your accomplishments, but are you by chance a minority, athlete, or female?

Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
I think mappleby is trying to say that you are severely restricting yourself from owning "good" stocks if you are filtering by stock price. I bought Boeing well above $50, and it is up over 80% since. Of course, I also bought a stock at $10 and now it's down ~80%...but hey, whatever works for you

WTF? (**NSFW**)
In the local A&FRC I overheard a gentleman helping a lady apply for a "grant" through the AFAF. She was behind on some bills D2 lack of work. Some highlights: - she served (allegedly) 28 years in the Air Force - constructed sentences like a 6th grader - Cable bill was $175 a month, and cell phone was $200 month I understand emergencies happen, but come on...

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
When I left the MAF, you were either spinning up to deploy, doing reconstitution tng when you got back, or TDY (flying/PME/upgrade), so the problem is a little different. Most guys were cool with that stuff...it was the job. It was the writing quarterly Jr CGO, CGO, Pilot, Leadership, etc awards and staying late to green up slides that burned people out.

Apparently fighter guys are bored... more proof of disconnect between leadership and the troops.

C-17 4-engine flameout/SIB/FEB questions in here
The FEB system needs an overhaul. There is an obvious lack of clarity in the reg (as noted by the ambiguity in the responses I got) for such an important event. My FEB seemed unorganized, and several parties were not clear on proceedings. The fact that the MAJCOM/CC is thoroughly briefed on what should be privileged information before making an FEB decision is a foul. AFI 11-402 allows the MAJCOM/CC to delegate that responsibility no lower than MAJCOM/A3, but doesn't require it. There needs to be someone appointed in the chain to refrain from hearing any privileged SIB info or testimony to make the call.
