May 21May 21 Mr. O6 isn’t wrong, but he and his friends won’t like the outcome of that risk (enter Sua’s example).
May 21May 21 Eh, it'll be the problem of the Sq/CC, DO, IPs, and eventually the loves ones of the pilots that don't receive the training required by an ever watered down syllabus.

What could possibly go wrong?

Syllabus events are rarely waived and most studs come out (sts), full up rounds.I can't believe we continue to use terms like "buy risk" for things that cost us blood.

July 10Jul 10 Be prepared for some pissed off SSgts at the gates after 13 July... 😮😮😮Air Force rescinding 135 promotions after test scoring error: 'This is going to be hard' (STS)The Air Force on Monday acknowledged a human error involving an outdated test answer key corrupted this year's technical sergeant selection process, forcing officials to revoke 135 promotions and award those slots to other troops who rightfully earned them.The error affected only the service's security forces career field, where officials rescored all 2,285 eligible airmen after discovering an outdated scoring key had been used on the Specialty Knowledge Test...(Full article at title link)
July 10Jul 10 So using an outdated scoring key they security forces actually scored HIGHER...dear god that's epic!
July 15Jul 15 You knew Fat Tony wasn't going to leave without going scorched earth one last time, truly a sorry excuse for a human.And, a FULL payout of his contract so it is not for cause....it is simply for pushing back on Blubber Bauernfeind.

This is also the same idiot who took tail flashes off active-duty AMC aircraft because apparently China doesn't use ADS-B and stopped the use of static callsigns for homestation training sorties. He's also the guy who greenlighted a one-pilot KC-46 flight. The same aircraft that has numerous CAT-I deficiencies. Removing tail flashes and not holding Boeing to the fire over the KC-46 is not really the future threat (China) planning that he liked to yap about.
