Your bonus status isn't tied to your eligibility for a 365. Just deploy for at least 45 days every 5 years and it should keep you off the top of the list. I'd be curious to see which would win out in my community...the 365, or the functional refusing to release someone due to the Rated Staff Allocation Plan (or whatever it's called now)

Holloman is “un-officially” manned primarily by people who cannot say no

I think the status is going to make the choice between a pilot who hasn’t stayed on the 45 day/5 year cycle and is past their ADSC vs. Nav that has but took the bonus a clean kill for AFPC.

As for your assertion that a 45 day deployment gets you to the bottom of the list of a 365...I have a bridge I would love to sell you.
July 13, 20187 yr Do the CSO's stay due to the private sector job prospects or because they have it good?

July 14, 20187 yr Problem solved! ""Sometimes instead of trying to create more aircrew, if we create more support personnel or keep the aircrew we have healthy, we can get more production out of" fewer people, Koscheski told Air Force Magazine." https://www.businessinsider.com/air-force-progressing-on-pilot-shortage-but-struggling-with-training-2018-7
July 14, 20187 yr "The lack of instructors has led some training squadrons to implement stop-gap measures and compensate in other ways in order to use their limited resources in the most efficient way. The 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona found out last summer it would only get 13 of the 26 F-16 instructor pilots it requested. Rather than spread the pain, the wing commander sent 12 of the new instructors to the 54th Fighter Group at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, which will take over F-16 training as the 56th shifts to F-35 training operations." Finally, a meaningful #1/13...

July 15, 20187 yr That's assuming the wing king didn't just send them at random. Also, wouldn't that be a second PCS and require a waiver that HAF level? Wonder if any of the 12 then 7-day'd that new wonderful location and only made the problem that much worse.

July 21, 20187 yr I don't have access to MyPers anymore... does the PSDM allow the service member any tools to shield them from the BS?
July 21, 20187 yr I don't have access to MyPers anymore... does the PSDM allow the service member any tools to shield them from the BS?In typical AF fashion it’s either not posted yet or buried somewhere unfindable.
July 27, 20187 yr Have they published the current take rates? I can’t seem to find the AFPC static reports anymore.

July 29, 20187 yr Number I just saw via a mass email stated around 23% with a quick window closure on the horizon. Bets on updates PSDM offering more time?There are two months left. I doubt they extend it. 23% seems high.
July 29, 20187 yr There are two months left. I doubt they extend it. 23% seems high. The 100% of navs takers are probably raising the average.
July 29, 20187 yr Yeah, I also figure a good number of the 23% have an ADSC from school. Also the late to rate who are within a stones throw of retiring.
