March 16, 201411 yr Looking for anyone who may be joining me at Sheppard for ENJJPT this July. I'm not sure our class number...but looks like graduation is slated for Aug 2015.
March 16, 201411 yr I'm only leaving this open so people will berate the OP. StoleIt is off to a great start. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
March 16, 201411 yr Guys, lay off. He's cool. His avatar is a "Keep Calm and [insert something cool here]" pic. Anyone have a copy of the boldface/ops limits for the T-6 he can start studying?
March 16, 201411 yr I'm more interested in learning about the voodoo you used to get an ETP (for age, I presume?) since you're a MSgt. Are you already in the Tuscon unit? Congrats on your selection.

March 16, 201411 yr FYI (may come in handy...) Situation awareness (SA) involves being aware of what is happening in the vicinity, in order to understand how information, events, and one's own actions will impact goals and objectives, both immediately and in the near future. One with an adept sense of situation awareness generally has a high degree of knowledge with respect to inputs and outputs of a system, i.e. an innate "feel" for situations, people, and events that play out due to variables the subject can control. Lacking or inadequate situation awareness has been identified as one of the primary factors in accidents attributed to human error. Thus, situation awareness is especially important in work domains where the information flow can be quite high and poor decisions may lead to serious consequences.
March 17, 201411 yr Changed photo for you FUSEPLUG, thought I'd make your day...you did appear to be a little bothered. Thx for the reply though. GuardGuy beat me to it by seconds as I was about to address the SA piece. I'm just giving you shit, dude. Best of luck in UPT... sorry, ENJJPT. SA consists of three steps: 1) Keep your mouth shut 2) Thoroughly assess the situation 3) Open your mouth (as required) This should be boldface.
March 17, 201411 yr Yeah, working for 152 FS....queep obviously and only 1 ride in the trunk so far. I made MSgt at 28yo, but yeah...the ETP took about 6 months...and it was for age. Used a little VooDoo...only needed it cause it took all that red tape to commission me last year. You made MSgt in the Guard dude. Slow your roll.

March 17, 201411 yr Author Pretty good, pretty good. Azimuth... I def had to slow my roll...went from (near) the top of one totem pole...to the bottom of another. But oh well, time for a career change.

March 17, 201411 yr Author Take the hint and stop posting. I'm not worried about it....thx Ram...hook, line and sinker. For those of you gentlemen who have responded in PM...I appreciate it...and I'll continue to try and help as much as I can. Edited March 17, 201411 yr by Noob
March 17, 201411 yr Pretty good, pretty good. Azimuth... I def had to slow my roll...went from (near) the top of one totem pole...to the bottom of another. But oh well, time for a career change. The more senior members of a tribe are on the bottom of totem poles.
March 17, 201411 yr I am perplexed if I can post something, he could climb the water tower at work and I could be in the crosshairs.
March 17, 201411 yr Age waiver? lol (kidding, my business has me busy enough building airplanes. wish I had time to fly more.)
March 18, 201411 yr Pretty good, pretty good. Azimuth... I def had to slow my roll...went from (near) the top of one totem pole...to the bottom of another. But oh well, time for a career change. These totem poles are not the same height. And being a MSgt isn't really near the top anyway.
March 18, 201411 yr FYI The vertical order of images is widely believed to be a significant representation of importance. This idea is so pervasive that it has entered into common parlance with the phrase "low man on the totem pole". This phrase is indicative of the most common belief of ordering importance, that the higher figures on the pole are more important or prestigious. A counterargument frequently heard is that figures are arranged in a "reverse hierarchy" style, with the most important representations being on the bottom, and the least important being on top. There have never been any restrictions on vertical order; many poles have significant figures on the top, others on the bottom, and some in the middle. Other poles have no vertical arrangement at all, consisting of a lone figure atop an undecorated column. Sometimes a very exclusive or prestigious family crest is placed on the bottom. There it supports the remainder of the crests above. Placing a figure on the bottom increases its prominence as a feature of the pole, as trees are thicker towards the base, increasing the bottom figure's size. Placement on the bottom also brings that figure closer to the people, increasing their interaction with that crest. Haida doorways are often seen embedded in the bottoms of house-frontal poles. These were kept deliberately small. To enter, guests and members of the house would need to bow in respect to the supporting crest of the pole. Conversely, the tops of Haida poles often feature a family's moiety-crest. Haidas come from one of two moieties and identify primarily as the descendants of an eagle or a raven-associated family. This 'primary' crest could be said to be more important as the first level of family identity and societal structure, or less important as one of the most common and least exclusive crests. Given the complexity and meaning of symbolism in Haida totem poles, which figure is most important could be considered arbitrary. The importance of each crest is in the observer's informedness and connection to the meanings of each figure. Asserting that one figure, story, or history is more important than another because of its placement on a pole may reflect the observer's own cultural perceptions of hierarchy than the actual significance of the figures.
