Off-station refueling, including in-flight
There have been plenty of ideas, and you've dismissed all of them.

Lack of Flight Discipline
Don't take pictures/video. In addition to the FCIF we had a visit from the AFCENT commander, so it's not just leadership by email.

Info on Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS/UAV/RPA)
True, I don't think it's possible to be more disgruntled than some of the TAMI dudes.

AFPC Standard.

Shoe Clerk Vol 3
For those of you keeping score at home, that's 34-1201 section 8.2.

Lack of Flight Discipline
What does it say?

Close. RC-135s EWO >> RPA Operator.

Shouldn't; Duty AFSC is purely related to your current assignment, which they want to change everyone to the same so that they don't need to send paperwork to the ACC commander everytime a pilot goes to a different sqaudron and takes the billet of an RPA operator. I'd be more worried that they mix it up and change your Primary.

Yep, real pilots. Mine hasn't changed yet, but he said the turnover is in the works.

I agree it's pretty weak.

Anyone checked their duty AFSC lately? Apparently it is changing to 18X; you will supposedly keep your permanent Primary AFSC, though. This is supposed to make manpower moves between squadrons easier, according to the ops group commander. I'd keep an eye on it though; AFPC is bound to mess up someone's records.

Predator Follow-on
They weren't for this drop, but there has not been a definite answer for the future drops. Edit: Had a chance to talk to the ops group commander the other day. His opinion on the matter is that 99% of the UPT-D guys from -38s wouldn't have gotten a fighter out of UPT even in the absence of UAVs, and he doesn't think it would be fair for us to get a second chance. I would draw a parallel to FAIPs who take another assignment in lieu of what is currently available hoping to get something better later as a counter argument. That's his (non-pilot) opinion, though; we'll see what AFPC hands down in the future.

NATO will be waiting to use your unique capabilities.

Saddle up for Syria? Or Op Deny Christmas '13
In Libya, the regime was using mostly tanks, artillery, and rockets with very limited air assets to attack the civilians. Then we made a no-fly zone in which NATO dropped 69,000 air-ground munitions and launched roughly 0 air-air weapons. That's how it's similar to what you stated.

So it'll be exactly like Libya.

Cannon to Whiteman would help, though.

Rated pipeline.
You get rid of all of your experienced tactical experts and bring in totally new pilots. Combat effectiveness goes up, it's science.

New T-Shirt suggestions?
I've had decent results with Gildan shirts, and the "Sand" color is pretty close to the ones in the mil clothing store.

Contact lens info
If there isn't anyone with a current copy, you should be able to find it here with a CAC: Edit: Had a chance to grab them off the site. Interesting to note that Proclear is not on the 2011 list, but the Memo doesn't say anything about it being removed. 2011ACSCLP_ApprovedList.pdf 2011_ACSCLP_signed_memo.pdf
