Timeframe for T-1 retirement
Sounds like Beechcraft needs to pump out an AF version of the T-44C. Beefy landing gear from the start and there goes half your longevity problems for a UPT airframe! But that’s not a jet, so clearly it won’t meet our training needs. 🤷🏼♂️

More Uniform Changes!
Cool! In our community at least, women can fly while pregnant up to a certain trimester and sim until even later. I’m massively in favor of anything that helps folks be more comfortable and contribute to the mission! 🇺🇸

USAF helicoptor shot at.......... In Virginia
Sounds like a standard local training line in the Duke City! Who’s up for some threat-pen over Meadow Lake and its population of pharmaceutical enthusiasts?!

Peoria had been pushing hard a few years ago for the J conversion. Who knows though.

Info on flight boots
Correct Huggy, steel toes are not approved for flight in the AF, and I think Navy required it only if you had ops on carrier flight decks. (It’s been a long long time since NAS Corpus Christi though!)

Space Force
Maybe we can come up with some ideas on here then? Spacers? I’ve seen it used in some sci-fi books. Sounded ok in that context. Is there anything that folks in AF Space Command referred to themselves as already?

I haven’t heard anything, but I was able to access the AWC distance learning website. **shrug** Maybe it means something, maybe it doesn’t, who knows.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Please let the ones headed to Kirtland know that they’ll be MC-J and not on the Chariot of Armageddon. They get trained exclusively at HRT if they’re headed that direction.

I’d say your odds are pretty decent for 1 below. Ours went up blank with a “P” if leadership didn’t feel we had a chance, so if yours went up filled out and with a “DP” you’re not wrong in being “cautiously optimistic”. Plus, unless there’s a big shake-up (regime change, UIF, etc) before your IPZ package is submitted, you should still get a solid push in the zone as well.- It's Official, OCPs are Coming!
Blue thread? Sure, that sounds good! Green nametapes like some flavors of DCU had? Nahh...- Border crisis
