  1. Schwartz for sure for the reasons already mentioned plus the first RIF that got rid of good dudes that wanted to stay right after they didn't let anyone leave during VSP. He was the worst.
  2. 2020, not ALL FDX sim instructors are line guys, but a lot are. It's a pretty good deal, BUT you have to be ok with living in a Memphis suburb. (Or commute to fly the sim). They only have to work the same amount of days as a pilot on reserve, so 16 or 19 depending on the month, so definitely not a bad gig if you live there.
  3. This is so messed up. The dude worked hard and sacrificed over 20 years, and somehow running 3 seconds too slow or doing one or two less push-ups cancels out all of that? This is why the AF deserves what is coming. I'll enjoy watching the disaster from my purple tailed jet. Good riddance.
  4. At both of my last bases we would alternate family friendly and adults (spouses were fine) every other month. We had some really good adults only ones. One of the best was a thrift shop prom that several of us smoked a whole hog and catered for and then had a "prom" where everybody wore their best thrift shop duds. We also did a Cinco De Mayo one that was pretty great. One of the better family friendly ones were a "tailgate" during fball season. The family friendly ones were lamer than the other ones typically, but they were fine.
  5. Every time I see that commercial I can't help but feel like we were his real intended audience more than it being a recruiting thing.
  6. Only Tera eligible officers have been notified so far.
  7. I learned a long time ago that the Air Force was the best it will ever be on the day you joined. Every change they make just makes it crappier.
  8. Thanks for the replies. A little more background, I'm a tanker guy. Was tasked with OGV at the deid since like March, then I got retasked. I have no idea what my job will be, but I appreciate the help.
  9. Anybody have any gouge on Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti? Just curious about living conditions/daily life. I'd appreciate the input. Thanks!
  10. There were 10 first assignment dudes in my VML last year in my SQ. I was the only guy to get follow on tankers. There were 5 UAVs, 3 UPT and one rando AMLO or something. Ridiculous.
  11. We are PCSing back to the States in May from EGUN. American Airlines still let us book him as excess baggage. If we were going to try to ship him back with one of the Pet moving people, all the estimates were in the $3500-$4000 range. We're taking him back in April so he can hang out at my parents' farm for a month or so, so the cost ended up being about $800 for my wife's plane ticket and $150 for the dog. Still a decent sized chunk of money, but way better than the other options.
  12. I haven't been in all that long, I'm getting ready to start the 4th year of my first actual flying assignment, but I learned something pretty early on that I tell everyone. It's sort of become my motto: The Air Force was the absolute best that it ever will be on the day that you joined. I don't mean that as it's new and cool, I mean that in the fact that there will be dozens of changes, and none of them are good. I challenged a bunch of the guys in my squadron to come up with one good change that's happened to the Air Force since they joined, the only one anybody could come up with... now we can walk and talk on the phone at the same time. Seriously, think about it.
  13. http://www.foreignassistance.gov/OU.aspx?OUID=197&FY=2011 Only about $68 million.
  14. Also, when I went through they didn't really hold you to the posted limit on dip. I think it depends on who your SERE dude is. I wish I'd have known that, I was out pretty quickly with the rationed amount. I think I have a problem.
