  1. Thread revival: I'm my unit's RA and trying to find a way to purchase Pop's jackets for our folks, problem is regs have changed and I'm having trouble with the GPC office being okay with buying them to begin with. Looking for some help from folks on here. I took a look at the 36-2903 and it now says "A6.5.2. Leather A-2 Flying Jacket. The Leather A-2 Flying Jacket is authorized for ground wear only unless prohibited by MAJCOM supplement." which was new to me, I was under the impression we could wear them flying, but I also never went out of my way for answers. The GPC office would be cool with it if we could justify it under reporting instructions, so far only CENTCOM specifies that it must be the MASSIF jacket. The GPC office wants to help me, but they want some form of reg that can justify buying A-2s for wear, and it's getting hard because so far it seems like they're really just for wear on the ground which is something the GPC can't authorize. I was thinking maybe using PACAF's reporting instructions since we do exercises out that ways. I'm open to ideas.
  2. Roger, I took y'alls advice and spoke to my Flt CC. I went and talked with both MPF and TMO and I think we found a decent enough solution. I still have a ton of questions but I got my HHG handled. I already received a RIP, actually got it about a week after I got my assignment. After talking to MPF they said the issue is with my gaining base, they've been emailing / calling but had not received the info from the RA. They couldn't tell me when to expect my orders to be amended. I then went to TMO and asked what options I had and we settled on doing this: Move my stuff to Hurlburt now and store it, it'll exceed the 90 days I am allotted with the PCS, but he told me I should get an extension since I will be TDY and it was an issue with my orders and not my fault. I probably should have talked to my Flt CC earlier, I was trying to be a good Lt and figure it out but got in over my head. Thanks for the advice guys, if anything I've learned a lot from talking to folks and reading the JTR.
  3. Could use some help. I'm a fresh UPT grad, going TDY enroute for initial qual for a few months then to my new PDS. My class starts in two weeks. MPF still doesn't have the line of accounting for my TDY, and my orders don't have the TDY enroute on them. MPF says they'll get my orders amended, but I haven't been given a timeline. Trouble is, TMO says I need that TDY enroute on my orders before they'll move anything into storage. I was told they can't move anything outside of 90 days of my PCS, and that would be March 28th, 10 days after I need to be in Kirtland. Last conversation with TMO I had, I was told that if I couldn't get my orders amended by Thursday (7th) they couldn't use government movers to store anything by the time I leave for Kirtland. I've been calling MPF and visiting them in person, I honestly believe they're trying to fix my orders but I'm pessimistic it will be done in time. What are my options? A prior E classmate said I could try storing it on my dime and give a friend limited power of attorney to move my stuff to my new PDS while I'm TDY at Kirtland. I've ran the numbers for doing a DITY, I'd lose a lot based on the junk that I have and needing a U-Haul / Trailer.
  4. Sorry, yes I meant the AC-130J. I've been looking, just hadn't seen anything from the last few years about the J model specifically. Word. I've heard a number of different things about whether the J would be staying at Hurlburt or if they'd also be at cannon. Can you speak to that? Thanks!
  5. Thread revival. I dropped J models, was wondering if anyone could share some thoughts or information. How's life in general in AFSOC? I've heard good things. I tried asking my IPs before graduating but we didn't have any gunship folks on base to talk to.
