Quick story: U-2 bud does his T-38 check ride shortly after arriving at Beale, and flies it with the DO. My bud doesn't wear his nomex gloves. Examiner/DO debriefs him, and at the end says "you violated such-and-such regulation by not wearing the gloves, and therefore I will Q-3 you. It's a safety of flight issue." Bud says: "how could you tell?" Examiner/DO: "I saw it when you took the runway as you lowered your canopy." Bud: "so you intentionally allowed me to do the takeoff and the entire flight without correcting me on the spot for what you perceived was a serious safety violation? I'll take the Q-3... fair enough. However, you and I are going to go talk to the Squadron commander, and then the OG commander and I'm going to ask THEM if YOU should also be Q-3.". My bud ended up with a Q-1. Edited August 8, 20196 yr by HuggyU2

Some people love redeyes for commuting, some people (me) avoid them at all costs. To answer your question, I haven’t set an alarm clock in months because I prefer late morning to afternoon shows.

It’s awesome to have the flexibility.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
August 8, 20196 yr For this AFSOC flight glove thing, what is the verbiage? I’m checking all the sources I have available and can’t find this.

August 8, 20196 yr Do you also tuck in your 2 piece top when you don't wear armor and sanitize at home station?
August 9, 20196 yr That’s what we’re all asking each other since the 11 MDS series specifically allows you to fly without gloves worn.FCIF relief tomorrow or the next day. Basically will say the MAJCOM supp is being rescinded. Follow MDS Vol 3 guidance, if your V3 lacks guidance or points to the MAJCOM supp have them avail from engine start to shutdown.

August 12, 20196 yr What's wrong with the Air Force? We pass over officers with impeccable combat records and no PT failures in the flying community, but put people like this into SQ/CC jobs in the MXG. I can't imagine how she will credibly counsel any airmen who fails a PT test under her command.I thought everyone still has to do the waist measurement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 12, 20196 yr Don't we gripe against big blue's corporate fitness policy of focusing on appearance instead of performance? And now we want body shame and speculate on some random person based on a picture?
