Lots of stats available at http://access.afpc.af.mil follow links to static reports...scroll all the way down for ARP

can I suggest moving the new JQP forum "above the fold"? Folks might not realize it's there since we have to scroll down to see it.

all FYI 106th rescue wing.... hiring ... looking for CRO's HH60's pilots and HC-130 as well as flight surgeons ...... take look at their website scroll down.... at careers ....

I started my scroll paperwork with my recruiter 4 months prior to my dos and it took 5 months to go through. I am sure you will be under the same timeline of 4 to 6 months.

Just bought it - quick first impression after a couple of uses on my iPhone 5S is it's quite cool & so far works very well. Also works great on my iPad mini, because it's an iPhone app it doesn't do anything additional on the iPad but it still works great & is easy to read. It correctly picked up several military and civilian airports I tested it on in Maryland (where I'm at this week) and Arkansas (where I live), including some with alphanumeric (4M3, 6M0). If you put in an alphanumeric, the app requires a "K" in front of it which I don't think is technically correct because the alphanumeric identifiers are not ICAO identifiers - but if you know to do it, it's fine. Also, there may be some bugs to be aware of with the database pulls - for example The Dexter Florence Field in Arkadelphia, Arkansas was M89 until Nov, 2012 when it changed to KADF. So if you put KADF into the App you (correctly) get the current wx and NOTAMS for Arkadelphia. If you're an old guy from Arkansas and remember Arkadelphia as 'M89" - it was "M89" for years - you put in "M89" you get nothing (because there's no "K" in front, see paragraph above). The problem is if you then put in "KM89", you get a very official looking METAR that's completely wrong because it's from 23 Nov 2012, the last day METAR's were issued from the identifier "M89". And although this date is on the METAR, you won't see it unless you scroll down past all of the other data to it - it's the very last line of text and it's hidden by the task bar at the bottom of the screen. Ideally, there should have been an error message rather than a very valid looking, almost two year old METAR. On a good note, the App throws an error message when it looks for NOTAM's for "KM89" - but instead of suggesting that "KM89" isn't a valid NOTAM station it suggests that the user needs to upgrade to a newer version of the app (of course there isn't a newer version than the one that came out today). Noneheless, this was my clue that something wasn't right about this app and the Arkadelphia airport, and once I reminded myself that the identifier was KADF and not M99, it was fine. I didn't select KADF to test the app because I thought there would be a problem, it's just an airport I know really well. I'd guess there are a few similar situations in other areas of the U.S. So the user of the app must assume some risk for confirming the accuracy of the information used and filtering out inaccuracies because it looks like old, obsolete information may be coming through into the app as well as current information. The user also needs to know specifically which NOTAM's are in the app and which aren't. For example I didn't see any FDC NOTAMS or Flight Restrictions (maybe I didn't look close enough or I didn't look anywhere where there were any). With that said, I was quite impressed and I'm glad I bought it. I'll post some more detailed feedback in a couple of days. One thing - I searched for it by name "Crosswinds" in the App store on my iPad & couldn't find it. I tried a couple of times, made sure the spelling was correct & thought I was doing it right, yada, yada, yada. I clicked on the link on your post above and it went right to it (although I had to install iTunes because I'm traveling & didn't have it on this laptop) and it pushed right to my phone like it was supposed to. Then I discovered the issue with the iPad. Since it's an iPhone designed app, if you have the iPad App store search engine set to "iPad Only" apps you'll never see it. If you switch it to "iPhone Only" apps it's right there ready to buy (or download if you've already bought it.

Going through this right now. Turns out my scroll went 23 sep and my is at my losing base didn't know.... Was gained by my unit within a week and tricare back dated my coverage to day after separation date. I also called and switched back to prime.

What is a scroll?

Tunes, my friend waited on his scroll approval until a month from his DOS. He was worried but was told there was a backlog. I wouldn't stress too much man. It will come through. When is your DOS?

My ISR said she could call AFRC and have them move my scroll date back from the day she input it. Maybe my ISR just has connections or maybe they all know this but the point is...it's possible

http://access.afpc.af.mil/vbinDMZ/broker.exe?_program=DEMOGPUB.static_reports.sas&_service=pZ1pub1&_debug=0 Scroll to the bottom to the [RETENTION] section and select MDSACPSUMMARY. It seems that only Hueys and F-35s are happy pilots these days and have a take rate that exceeds the non-take rate. Everyone else is hovering around a 20-30% take rate. And the FY15 numbers aren't better.

He means don't expect a pilot from the squadron to just happen across your post and get in touch with you like they're customer service reps. Sure it might work, but sometimes It's all about perception. Instead go the extra mile it takes to track down the contact number for the pilot section. http://www.airnav.com/airport/KACY One trick: Go to airnav, look up the airport/facility of said guard unit, and scroll down to additional remarks, and usually the base-ops number is listed. Go from there. Step One: airnav Step two: ? Step Three: Profit!

It was something my ISR had me sign. 5k upon entering and 2.5k at 1st and 2nd anniversary, for 11 and 12 career fields only. This obligates you to a three year commit. He said they may change it before I enter the reserves officially in May, but I should be grandfathered in. Also, I signed up for the 3:1 PC, but since I did it in Dec 13 (FY14), and there's now a 1:1 pgm, I'll qualify for the 1:1. You may need to ask about this bonus, since he said not everyone knows about it, especially different units. One more thing. I'm scheduled to pin on Maj in April and leave in May. When ISR put me in the scroll in December (you need to press your ISR to do this as transferring to the reserves w/o a break in svc depends on it and normal process takes about 4 mos--don't need to be pc approved to do this, do it as soon as u submit ur app) they entered me as a Capt. This is a prob cuz if u get entered as a Capt, you'll be a Capt to start, even if the position authorizes a Major, according to ISR. BL, if ur expecting to make rank make sure to tell ur ISR, as there are a certain number of rank slots per time period and it may affect ur transition; can be a pain to change.

New wrinkle on the mobile website. FYI using an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.04 and the Chrome mobile app version 31.1650.81. Every website, including BO.net until this evening, lets you scroll to the top of the screen when you tap at the top. Great for reading threads with lots of posts. Suddenly not working. The function works for other websites just like always...figure something changed with all the recent site changes. Just a heads up. Cheers

This site has a ton of great 1950s and 1960s pictures from the golden age of the USAF. http://jetpilotoverseas.wordpress.com/ Be sure to scroll to the bottom and browse the categories.

Scroll up. The site navigation buttons appear.

I just tried it out on my iPhone and Sir Mix-A-Lot would be very happy with the amount of back that I had on my screen. Is yours loading the BODN mobile site, or the full site? Mine goes to the mobile site and the back button is not immediately visible. As soon as I scroll up, though, there is a back button that appears at the top of the web page as well as the safari back button at the bottom. Are you not getting either one?

So I was bored on AF Portal waiting for them to post the Oct 13 increments when I decided to scroll down and read the comments. Then I saw this gem: "You can view officer manning by grade (authorized and assigned) and then break out manning by AFSC on this site: https://www.thrmistest.hq.af.mil/scripts/thrmis_report_loader.asp?ReportID=826" "Mr. McCarthy, Thank you for posting that link. Can you explain it a little bit? It looks like the AF is about ~1300 Majors under authorized end strength for FY14. Am I reading that correctly?" I'm assuming you need a CAC to access the report, but maybe not. The kicker is this: if the AF is under authorized end strength by ~1300 Majors, and there are still 1220 Capts that need to pin on just from LAF, what are the chances the remaining will pin on in Oct after a new FY has started? Or will it just be 113 again like every month since forever? It'll prolly be the latter, but still-what the eff is going on?

Google image search the following phrase: tea party flags Tell me what 50-75% of the images come up as as you scroll down. Or better yet, go online shopping for Tea Party flags. http://www.gettysburgflag.com/TEA-Party.php http://www.sevenbros.com/index.php?cPath=95_313 http://www.flagsimporter.com/american/index.php/cName/tea-party-flags I know it's wiki- but still. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag#Tea_Party_Movement_symbol

Yes, just scroll up 6 posts.

ha, yeah, I was scrolling and hit like by accident instead of the scroll bar. Was hoping nobody noticed before it refreshed, but alas.

Who the fuck cares about all this???? I mean do any of you really really care about any of this noise??? So what if a shoe made an AFI. So what if another shoe made a website. I ain't gonna waste my time on it. So to the thead starter (I don't care to scroll to find your name), go troll elsewhere. I don't care about diversity. I care about getting the job done with the most capable people and that is how I go about my job. Out

Recommend scroll bar ops check.

http://www.stripes.com/news/former-ig-gets-1-year-sentence-dismissal-for-sexual-assault-1.195865 I don't usually put a lot of weight behind what I read from people commenting on articles & videos on the internet, but scroll to the bottom and it appears there are a lot of people who think the guy got thrown under the bus in order to make an example of him, despite the lack of evidence.

I don't think it is fear mongering if the info is correct. Here's a more legitimate source than reddit. Scroll to the bottom and you'll see the same list straight from the senator's mouth.

End of FY12 report is up, go to the below webpage and scroll to the bottom. http://access.afpc.af.mil/vbinDMZ/broker.exe?_program=DEMOGPUB.static_reports.sas&_service=pZ1pub1&_debug=0
