  1. Requal should be in house per an approved training syllabus, no need to go back to a school house for it. Even if you were able to be dual qualled you’d be unquall’d since you’d loose your currency in the jet after 6 months anyway.

    Most people here are ridiculous.  Airmen weren’t even aware the gig line was no longer a thing.  Or hair touching the ears.  This is just adjusting the books to the culture that always was, nothing more.  
     

    Secretary Hegseth is spot-on:  unity is the message, and that is crystal clear throughout Air Force formations.  
     

    Agree or disagree, we are moving forward with the right focus and message.

    Chang, 

    Hate to tell you, but the reason Airmen aren’t aware of these things, is the fact people aren’t hold them accountable and won’t correct someone on the sport for things that shouldn’t be a issue. The last time I saw people on my bad water boys outside of a court was a wing CoC and that was comical, cause most probably haven’t worn blues since basic. It’s not a thing most operators and out maintenance folks will ever wear due to our jobs. 
     

    the rest of this is just a drastic over correction to what shouldn’t be done. We’ve seen this before and will see it again. But this will have an impact in what people will do. 
     
    The right message is our strength is our unity. Anything else is a waste of time and energy that will not make us more lethal. We have bigger problems your kind has allowed to happen and you are just pulling back harder on the death spin.

    Who is the 2nd person you're thinking of?  Tony McPeak and "Skelator" are the same person.

    Huggy, no disrespect to the ones who served under him and came before my time, I was referring to the other skeleton looking guy who brought back everyone’s fave day, blues Mon.

    hey bros. Our leadership at our wing is getting out of control. We got a new wing shirt and he has been raising hell about morale shirts. The colored ones one could wear with a flight suit. 

    Do any of you guys know of a memo floating around asking for a waiver based on a tier level?

    I wish we could just bully our leadership into doing whatever we want as a part-timer. Hate to see my full-time bros suffer through nonsense. 

    ANG tanker unit.... 

    cheers

    What the F is a wing shirt? Sounds like to me it’s a made up position for someone’s buddy. Tell them to pound sand and as long as the reg doesn’t say you can’t then proceed on as business usual? 

  5. I’ve had their AK-V 9mm for 6 years, it’s set up for HD and it’s a solid and fun gun. Plus it’s a nail driver. It was after the initial batch had some issue and was corrected after Jmac did the review and found the problem. Their CS is great. For mid level stuff they make good stuff, all in house. Plus their stated goal is to help arm all of America.  
    plus id use their parts kits and lowers no problem, just get a better barrel or if they still sell the FN barrels.

    You win! Was just about to respond to the original prompt of this thread from 8 years ago! Still waiting for some type of shinanigans. 

    Oh it will happen, what it will be is yet  to be seen yet. 
    Thankfully we can now be unburdened by what has not been.

    Regardless of rhetoric, does anyone think Kamala would actually certify a Trump victory, or would she find some way to get out of it? 

    Ol Brandon did back in 17. If she doesn’t then she is again derelict in her Constitutional duties. I do think they Dems will find a way to object to the certification again from certain members, mostly the Rep from Md, Raskin.

    Words from bros that are AOCs is the place is now pure toxicity. Surviving the next 1-2 years is their only concern. 

    I can attest to this as well. Hopefully some of the investigations going on can find a way to stick and get him out. He is out of touch.

    The best reel I've ever seen showing Kamala's lies and the media bias.  Why wasn't she fact checked?

     

     

     

    CH that is the best video yet. Or the one of the cops arresting the migrant in Springfield for eating the cat. But ABC didn’t want to fact check a single thing she said due to the fact they are in on the whole shill of the propaganda machine for her.

    One of the best leaders in the Air Force and that’s what comes to mind? Concealing tail flashes completely makes sense when you consider how good our adversaries are in building PoL for us. 

    Doesn’t matter when you can find any aircraft that’s flying in  civilian radar coverage.  Just need the hex id for it. Technology has become a opsec problem now.

    You're the head of HR. 

    The old man sitting across the table for you is re-applying for his old position. During his previous tenure as an employee, he violated company working together guidelines every day. He was consistently untruthful. He hired family members whose gross negligence resulted in the death of company employees. He routinely broke the law while conducting company business, using his position of authority to attempt to gain personal advantages by withholding company funds from a brand customer the firm had courted for years. Company profitability declined 30% during his four year tenure and a double-digit percentage of employees lost their positions. When he was fired for cause, his supporters, at his behest, started a riot in the boardroom that left four dead.

    During his unemployment, he was convicted of multiple felonies that will make it difficult for him to do his job and illegal for him to travel. He was also indicted for dozens more felonies that took place while he was an employee.

     

    And you're going to consider hiring him?

     

    Using this example you provided, Sadi CEO was said he would start WW3, but didn’t. He brought rouge countries in line and treated them as an adult and they played nicely with their neighbors. He also ended ISIS after he came in a cleaned up from the mess he inherited. He didn’t sell out our country for profit like the guy who replaced him or take classified docs out for many years that he had no business doing. Or enrich his family and try to go after his rivals like the CEO who replaced him. Or drive up the cost of everything? 
     

    can’t be any worse off than we are now and we know what we’d be getting with rehiring the old CEO.

    Honestly, people should go to jail.  Someone made some deals under the table.

    BTW, what is AFF at Randolph?  

    We have the great 19th CC for this entire debacle. Many said this wasn’t the way to go. I can speak for some mad units the products we are getting are putting more work on the ops units now. The ftu’s are passing on the buck.

    Any 06 year group types on here that were passed over for O-5, and continued to 24? In the past, I knew a lot of guys who were initially continued to 20, and then offered 24 the following board. The few guys I know in my YG in the same boat haven’t been offered 24. I have no intention of staying a day past 20, but the option would be nice.

    Why stay a day past 20 if you do take it and not go to the ARC? Only passing up seniority at the next really flying job and more money that you’ll be making after the AF. Even if they offered me continuation to 24, I wouldn’t stay a day past 20 and I’d walk at 19 years 9 months to start terminal leave and never look back.

    At an all-call yesterday, our OG said there might not be an O-4 board for the 16YG.  I was tracking that the board would likely move to February to accommodate the SCOD.  But no board whatsoever?  Anybody have the inside scoop on this?   

    That is somewhat correct, they have just moved the board to line up with the SCOD, and there will be 2 O5 boards this year due to the SCOD changes. Nobody says big blue makes logical decisions some times. The O-3 SCOD was too close to when the MLR got the  prf’s.

    I also have a lot of Army aviation buds who love the Belleville C793s which are very similar but run smaller from my experience.  I believe these which are on the Safe to Fly list are essentially the same boot...

    I’ve had these for years and love them. Tried on the Rocky’s and couldn’t get my foot in them, but those boots are great. Now only if we could go back to the black boots.

    To help fix the retention problem we lowered our standards...so we got that going for us.

    According to three separate professional staffers I recently spoke with, applicants to U.S. service academies are down 70% with the vaccine requirement and DEI being cited as the number 1 and 2 issues.

     

    When are they going to figure out this issue and correct it? Oh maybe go like the navy with this tactic?

    $50K bonus will be out soon.  Everybody just chill and eat your chips and salsa quietly.

    $50K will come out & people will sign like they always do.  Geesh.

    Yeah about 5 years late, this should have been what it needed to be in 16 when the wave started. Keep rolling it out later and later. Even with the new catch them earlier attempt it’s not going to slow the bleeding talent.
