Syrian Su-22 Shot Down by US Aircraft
I feel a strong disturbance in the Force, like a 1000 Eagle and Raptor pilots collectively groaning in agony....

History Friday
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.

Marine MV-22 Pilot to ANG
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.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
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.

Promotion and PRF Information
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.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
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.

Next Chief of Staff
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.
