Umm...perhaps for you journalists. Most of us are pilots. Didn't you get the memo on that, Steve?

How do you graduate USAFA but fail out of IFS? Surely it isn't that difficult. WTF? The AF is overmanned with officers right now, thus no need to keep them around - especially when the AF can get reimbursed for their schooling. Doesn't seem like a wise long-term decision...but we all know how good the AF is at long range planning...

I went through the process with Bradley Morris several years ago and had positive results. I drove to one of their job fairs in Atlanta with my only expectation being to get practice interviewing. They set me up with 5 interviews that day and I ended up getting offers from 3 of them. Unfortunately, all of them would have required relocation which would have been a no-go with my ANG unit (and CINC-House) so had to decline the offers. Overall, I was pleased with their process, communication, and results.

Hey, I just found out about 69 seconds ago that there is actually an AFI covering this sort of shit. Guess I will have to stop discriminating now. ThreeHoler, that is a fantastic idea. Hopefully someone will listen.

Not in my neck of the woods. Haven't heard of it at any other unit either FWIW.

Despite the horrible crap going down...congrats on the race. Hope you got to finish at least. It's terrible that this senseless act ruined what was supposed to be such a good day for so many people.

Apologies if this one has made the rounds before...

They always do. They never do. SNAP standard these days.

I haven't heard of a current patient being shown the door, but have seen quite a few doctors and dentists that won't take new patients with TriCare. I've asked some of them about it, and the typical answer is because they don't pay as much and they are a pain to deal with. Shocking, I know.

Probably because they're the ones who stole the C-17 blueprints and sold them to the Chinese!

I am sure the Guard AGRs are lining up out the door for that opportunity.

Suggested response if you are ever in a similar situation "Man, bet you are happy that being gay is legal now!"

Jeff Gordon is sponsored by both Pepsi and GM. He drives a Chevy. I'm sure it was no accident he was driving a Camaro rather than a Mustang.

She's out of practice after hiatus.

That wouldn't shock me. Typical box-checker O-5 bullshit these days. Jesus man, take .69 seconds and use Google. The first hit will tell you.

Left a comment for her...doubt it'll last: I'm nearly speechless. Honestly. It frightens me that people like this are actually in my service. FML.

Sounds about right. I was the form lead for a three ship and our jets were turned for a two ship later that day. While it seems like a colossal waste of money...it does prove the point that we are the only AF in the world that can pull stuff like this off (sts) and was actually good training.

It was rough flying tanker support out of the Med...

Your timeline sounds about right to me, and perhaps the PoC at your unit can help speed things along and pass along your base request. Having said that, I doubt a civilian company will wait 6-9 weeks for a decision. While your timeline is reasonable, I wouldn't hinge your whole plan on NGB following it.

At least the gear was down.

Our base compiled a list of our contributions to various missions since our last ORI, forwarded it to the AMC/IG and a few months later they came back with a pretty flattering letter saying, "you guys have busted your ass...ORI is now 4 hours, etc etc". This whole process was brought up during a recent AMC/CC visit where he asked, "Didn't you get ORI credit for your ONE/OIF/OEF/OND/OUP work?". So we asked for credit and got it.

Amazing...Ft. Smith loses their jets and the next week a AFRC unit shows up in the same state...
