Any obvious reason "Torque" is spelled as "Torqe" on that that T-shirt? It's spelled correctly all over the site, but not on the shirt itself. Is that because of the call sign letter limit? Or just a mistake?

We still have one at KMGM

Expensive watch. Brand name starts with a "B" and is located on the face, with the only other ornamentation being a set of metal pilot wings. This is starting to remind me of another watch but I just can't put my finger on it...

More bad news for the year. A nickel on the grass for another good dude. No word on base, just "shortly after takeoff" and not combat related.

I always understood that the whole military justice / court-martial system operates at the behest of a commanding officer. There simply is no independent judiciary in the military. Courts-martial are convened because the commander does not have enough time to arbitrate each case. It's interesting that people are incensed over a commander's authority to overturn a verdict, yet have no problem with the President's authority to pardon known criminals.
As for the case itself, when the investigating officer's decision to recommend a court-martial was based on the fact that the woman had no motivation to invent the story, I find that pretty weak. Couple that with the current state of fighter pilot hating ginned up by Tsgt Smith and co. and you have a very accuser-friendly environment.

Interesting timeline. I'm waiting on the official word right now. I did Brooks July 26th, and was told that I should expect 11-03 AMS class (Jan). Do you know when you're package was submitted to the NGB? Did you have any waivers at Brooks?
No waivers at Brooks. As for submitting my package, I had my stuff turned around to MPF by the first week in February, but I'm pretty sure they didn't get it off until April-ish (not that I'm surprised).

Guard Pilot Commitment/Bonus Recoupment
in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Posted
Gentlemen,
As some of you know, the guard slung out some rapid fire $20k cash bonuses for DSG pilots this year, and are now trying to recoup them based on “erroneous NGB/A1 guidance” about eligibility. The paragraph referenced implies that this is about some sort of service commitment to the guard post UPT. I’ve heard this “10-year commitment” mentioned before, but have never seen any sort of formal guidance or signed anything related to a service commitment. Can anyone point me to more info? Thanks.
