Please ban this f*ck already. He’s been funny enough, but I worry actual GOs read his shit and think it’s serious, not satire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s 20% back, up to $2000. I don’t think racking up $10000 for personal interest courses to get $2000 back is a great idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you make O-5? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still sim only for T-1s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

General Chang is a real account, and has stars on his shoulders. He is a personnelist. Bashi Chuni is Chang’s troll account where he pretends to be a pilot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My understanding was IRR commitment only goes to 8 years from date of accession. Shouldn’t matter for any pilots, since you’re past that before your UPT commitment is up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just looked at mine. In 8+ years of flying C-17s, the most I was gone was 220 (deployment with COVID quarantine on the front). One year was 188 (non-flying deployment). Two years around 150 (120 day deployment). One year at 110 (90 day deployment). The other three years were <90. Not an Airdropper, SOLL II, or PNAF and my friends that were flew less. The only guy I knew who had more than 280 took a CAOC tour then a EAS deployment to chase his short tour credit (his choice). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ask them to print out their TDY history. They are exaggerating greatly. Or the scheduler was banging their wife. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where did you hear this? FAIPs? I never came anywhere near 280 days/year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That makes total Air Force sense. The PCS expense is a sunk cost that will be paid out eventually. Denying Sep or retirement just results in more expenditure when you force someone to stay on the payroll. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Air Force forgets that to get those pilot wings in the first place you had to be in the top 69% (I’m sure the actual number is higher) of your ROTC class (or get into the Academy, or however OTS works). Bottom 1% of the 69th percentile is still the 69th percentile. When I got passed over for O-5 I was pissed but shrugged it off. I had figured I was a coin toss to make it. When I saw the list and saw some of my more deserving friends missing from it, I realized the whole system is fvcked. The Air Force does not value its pilots; Welsh and Goldfein made that much clear, and CQ has done nothing to reverse course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must have missed it, what’s the 1 Apr thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now if only they would offer VSP and TERA… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guessing so, and it’ll only be available to those who sign before they run out of money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was about to ask the same question. Only answer I could think of was: People in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon who don’t have property and earn little enough they don’t pay federal or state income tax. LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Term limits and campaign finance reform are the only way to fix this mess. Corporate donations should be outright banned. Out-of state donations should be outright banned. The candidate running for the 69th district of Georgia should not be getting financial backing from Dick Suckerburg in California because the candidate’s job is to REPRESENT their constituents, not the interests of some billionaire 1500 miles away. As far as terms go, I think the house needs to adopt a four year term, rather than two, so that they aren’t constantly running for re-election. For term limits, I’d say no more than six total terms in the House/Senate combined. That would give you 24 years in the house, 36 in the senate, and somewhere in between for those that transition.

I thought Bashi was Bashi’s troll account? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea how retirement dates work with continuation? The paper says you have to retire on the 1st of a month except for medical, but in my case, 20 years falls on the 31st. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My username isn’t “Rated Flyer 4 Life” and I don’t ask questions about how to be a pilot, so yeah, I am. C-17 IP; what are your quals?

This guy again…go with quals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the pretend pilot finally gone? [emoji898] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Double edged sword. It might make some have an appreciation for what Winged pilots do. It also might make some think “I’m a pilot too, what they do is nothing special that I can’t do just as well!” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
