dream big

Nope, our CINC is going to continue to push the budget cuts yet ask us to fight Cold War 2.0 as well as 6-9 "oversea contingency operations." It's ok, we have TIB "warriors" to save the day.

Question for a soon to be LT in my first operational flying squadron, since this issue is constantly changing with RIFs, etc: I understand that a masters degree is essentially unmasked when going up for your majors' board. However, my peers and I keep hearing the advise to get your masters done ASAP. At what point does pursuing your masters degree come into play in terms of your senior raters? Obviously, I would like to be spending most of my time learning the aircraft to the best of my ability, studying the 3-3, helping out the squadron; but we would also rather not shoot ourselves in the foot by waiting to start our masters until after we pin on captain if it is true that a masters degree starts becoming a discriminator as early as we pin on captain.

Any word of cross flowing 38 track guys who went heavies, like back in the day?

Don't they get a c-17 all to themselves or something ?

This professor is part of a small minority, even my most left wing friends had something patriotic to say on veterans day. This guy is a douche, and an insignificant one at that.

Not even the CSAF could tell you that. No one will know. My class tried to figure out what drop we would get and who would get what; until we realized we were wasting our own time so we resorted to drinking more beers instead.

That has got to be a joke right? Please tell me so. In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised.

Haha that fat chick is skinny for a girl in Enid America..

Thread revival, how early after UPT is one supposed to fill the ADP out? Is it usually after you get to your first flying assignment ?

Bashing TIB NEVER gets old!

So if this "new system" gets implemented, will our current TSPs become the new TSPs or will they be two separate TSPs?

Has anybody had any good experiences with the veterinary clinic on base for their pets, or any vets off base? Thank you.

Obama will be up for re-election in just 15 months. Cutting the retirement benefits would be a major if not one of the biggest targets on his back if he were to sign off on this bill, not to mention the congressmen/women who would have to vote for this without atleast a grandfather clause. I'd like to think we are okay for now, at least until 3 November 2012...

Is it possible for a pilot to take two years off, after their 10 year ADSC, and go to an actual school to get a masters (with tuition assistance or on their own dime) and then return to active duty? A lot of the information here refers to online degrees while on active duty; if one were to actually go to an actual campus and get a masters degree, would this significant impact their AF career once they return to active duty?

Dropped 130s out of T-38s. This has happened to a few guys over the past year or so. I know back in the day all pilots came out of 38s, but just curious on people's thoughts about transitioning from a fast single seat mindset to the crew mentality on a 130? Thanks!

I currently have a BS in political science, so essentially a non technical degree. If I were to get a technical masters, would I be eligible to apply?

"gasp"...is all this allowed in our new and improved politically correct feel good Air Force!?

Heading to Yokota soon to fly the herc! I have heard that we are forced to live on base and we cannot bring pets. Is there any truth to this/ is there any way to live off base or in more pet friendly places? Willing to dish out extra cash, thanks!

Once selected for the Job, do you also go through 38 PIT to get spun up in the 38?
