  1. That has to be a joke right?....
  2. Don't, let the notification process run its course for the families' sake.
  3. I feel a strong disturbance in the Force, like a 1000 Eagle and Raptor pilots collectively groaning in agony....
  4. It'd be a snort of the Irish if it's Redbreast
  5. That shit'll buff out
  6. Notifications are starting to trickle out, just heard from a buddy of mine that he made it one above
  7. I always considered myself extremely lucky and felt very humbled to have been trained by some of the guys who flew this mission. Getting to listen to their stories first hand during sims was always an awesome experience.
  8. Rest easy bros
  9. My wife had an interview cancelled today for a GS nurse position at the local mil clinic so I would imagine it'll impact the military indirectly at the least.
  10. New Mexico 150th SOW is a guard unit in Albuquerque that flys CV-22s for the Osprey FTU, they only have a few positions but it might be something worth looking into if you want to stay in the Osprey.
  11. Tilt Rotor Air-to-Air Refueling
  12. +$300 for O-4s in Miami
  13. I got 4
  14. I remember watching him as a kid during several airshows and just being blown away, phenomenal pilot and American.
  15. Great shots, Lakes District and the Highlands is some phenomenal flying
  16. 2. And its also not just the airlines pulling people. My community has lost at least half a dozen people in the last year due to ADSC expiration or PC that didn't go the airline route at all. Solid dudes to include a WIC instructor school select and several high time instructors, none easily replaced.
  17. Damn, sorry to hear
  18. Bye Felicia....
  19. I know Gen Heithold has specifically mentioned AFSOC promotion rates as something the command needs to get better at. Rationale was that if we're trying to convince quality people to come to AFSOC we need to take care of them and part of that is getting them promoted. Not sure how this is gonna jive with the drawdown in "official" combat operations. Prior to 9/11 AFSOC's promotion rates generally lagged the rest of the AF. Be interesting to see if Webb continues to put emphasis on this.
  20. Assuming the report is true really glad everyone got out safe!
  21. It's his nephew
  22. There will be a U-28 briefing and a U-28 pilot there to answer questions.
  23. For any UPT students interested in tracking AFSOC or just interested in what AFSOC does/is all about there will a SOF Roadshow hitting all the UPT bases this week 21-25 March. We'll have pilots from most of AFSOC's MDS there to interact with/ask questions, AFSOC CAG will being presenting the official AFSOC mission briefing, and we'll have static MC-130J and CV-22 aircraft. PM me if you have any questions.
  24. I find that interesting. When talked to us last year at ACSC he didn't impress me or anyone else in my flight. His leadership story/vignette was really poor, his ideas on what CGOs should be focusing on also were way off target in my opinion.
