So there is no hope?

Grounded in reality, not political feel goodism. I’ve had two siblings make major career changes as adults so far. Let politicians spew BS. That’s just apocalyptic speculation at best, like a Malthusian catastrophe for the workforce.

You can sink or swim. Your choice.

Unless the autonomy is developing itself, there will be jobs; the real question is will people be willing to adapt?

“Feel better” and get hooked on being paid for doing nothing, beholden to the government. Great.

At least it’s nice to know the ridiculous supplements upon supplements hasn’t changed.

Cert flight was about that two weeks ago up at Langley for COMACC.

Because it is a show against an idea, not what is actually happening or not.

This also sounds different from my experience, no way I could have “taught myself” to fly. However, chair flying and mental rehearsals are always going to be a part of flying training, be it basic stick and rudder or tactical execution. No one sorts 6-9 targets efficiently without getting some instrucor led training, reading on their own, and going through it over and over...on their own before the training event and again after debrief. You kind of id’d it yourself in your second paragraph, FLEA, at its current implementation the UPT Next is mostly just a different way to chair fly with shiny equipment.

Can we baseline against UPT from 6-9 years ago before the fix-to-fix was taken out of the syllabus?

I’ll log you thinking wearing ABUs is required as “What’s Wrong with the AF.” Or maybe it’s what’s wrong with you, if you’re only a real officer in ABUs, I can’t be sure.

Shack. In contrast to those who stay AD to try and keep their salary while getting hours; three years later, guys who went regionals are at year two with a major and guys who stayed AD are not at 1,500 still.

So based on DTS/finance success rates...no base has ever been awarded the payout?

The fine print on those T38 keys is endless nuclear training/exercises.

You forgot: prior to this...sim takeoff out of Missouri, sit in sim cruise for 14 hours, press sim button, sim cruise 14 hours home.

This seems like the right discussion thread to ask that question in. Not today, China.

Effects Based Operations for Air Force Bands.

Ditto, local voucher is probably perfect for this.

Is the patch itself humble, credible, and approachable?

No, what he said was right; the patch itself means little, it’s the person wearing it that matters. Believe it or not, WIC output is subject to the normal distribution of talent/ability/knowledge as everything else. Weak instructors have made it through, as have people concerned with their career over tactics.

Let me tweet a link to FSB first.

You don’t need every tanker to carry -10 gas; planes that carry -10 gas are more expensive, so you get less of them. Sometimes you need -135 gas at more places. Get over the fact it can’t carry as much as a -10, it was never supposed to.

That will happen when you write the requirements to be less than that of the KC-10 on purpose.

We should look into that.
