When did I say anything about corruption? And traveling makes you an geopolitical expert on...nothing, of course. Anyway....I just watched the best country on earth elect a “dude” that can’t finish a thought verbally without inventing a new word or being a walking advertisement for dementia. So you see, my quip was more in tune to our state of woke affairs. Not theirs. Yeah, too late, Dude.

Too late.

They'll never make the NexGen deadline. Gonna be an interesting standoff considering "no waivers" is the phrase of choice.

They are short in AFRC. Can't speak for 10th, but 22d/4th can't find enough 0-6's willing to move and fill billets. RUMINT has NAF/CC's considering promote/fills in house (may already be happening)

Do it. If you've always wanted it, don't go the rest of your life wondering....take the leap. It's that's simple.

First hand knowledge or squadron lore? The reason I ask is it would be highly unusual to staff through A3V. No need and I'm pretty sure 11-402 only directs legal reviews after the convening authority determination and prior to final determination. Just curious.

I had the unfortunate experience of being the Recorder in an FEB against a young pilot who was represented by both civil and military lawyers. They questioned the veracity of some of the Form 8 statements from multiple evaluators. The thing about FEBs is the rules governing admissibility of evidence is not the same as most legal proceedings. If the board wants to hear it (even hearsay) and weigh it, they can. In my experience the board, as experienced pilots, could read between the lines and get to the truth quite easily. The final board recommendation will go through many legal reviews. Odds are not in your favor. There it is.
