April 28, 20232 yr A email I saw today from A1 on this said mid May for the legacy one and the new test option soon after that. Good luck.

Im sure you can't say but is it any worse than, "let's bring everyone back and deploy all the tired, worn out FGOs to staff positions downrange?" With only a few exceptions, all the sharp dudes in my neck of the woods got out recently and the douchers all went to aide de camp jobs...

April 29, 20232 yr $50K bonus will be out soon. Everybody just chill and eat your chips and salsa quietly. $50K will come out & people will sign like they always do. Geesh.

Everybody just chill and eat your chips and salsa quietly. $50K will come out & people will sign like they always do. Geesh. I didn't sign the 25K bonus way back when. Probably a dumb idea because I ended up going 20. But more and more young people are thinking like I did back then. They aren't really drawn to money, and when I was in I wasn't really drawn to some bullshit government cause that we should kick all the middle eastern peoples' asses because of oil. Or whatever bullshit excuses they came up with that totally excused Saudi Arabia. I dunno. You A1s might have it right, but I wouldn't be surprised if this generation comes up with a middle finger. They don't have the same patriotic fervor as we did.
April 29, 20232 yr Isn’t the fiscal year more than half over? They already lost 600 plus people this year (per the 2 star). What’s another month of wait?

Geesh. Yeah about 5 years late, this should have been what it needed to be in 16 when the wave started. Keep rolling it out later and later. Even with the new catch them earlier attempt it’s not going to slow the bleeding talent.

April 29, 20232 yr Their inability to get a bonus out before the 8th month of the FY, is a perfect metaphor for how things go in the AF. Nothing like spending a monumental amount of effort on TDYs that just get cancelled. Not knowing if the money will be there for a TDY until the day prior to leaving (true story). Even then, the money didn't flow, just told, "Trust us, it will be there." Fuck it...let's roll! $50K isn't enough, not in today environment. It will be a nice perk for those who were staying anyway.

April 29, 20232 yr We’re 5 years too late on a shitload of things, many far more important than bonuses and AGR conversions. Bureaucratic bloat is crippling.

May 1, 20232 yr The AvB page was updated on Friday to say the following: ”The Go Live date for the Aviation Bonus program is currently delayed due to myFSS scheduled maintenance timelines and a pending program update from OSD.”
May 1, 20232 yr sure blame it in the tech. It’s weird how we get ACTF spam emails no problem but they can’t send a robot email for the people who want to voluntarily extend their ADSC. clowns

He went to SDE recently and had a blast. Cool cool, sounds good. Like 6 months later I get selected for a 8-day PME course that’s drivable and pretty cheap as TDYs go (~$1,200 all-in), and my SQ/CC had to deny it because of lack of unit travel funds. 😐

Sucks. But I think it says something about the value of PME if commanders aren't willing to prioritize funds for people to attend. If the AF doesn't think it holds value why should we?
May 4, 20232 yr As of 3 May: ”The Go Live date for the AvB program is currently delayed due to a pending program update from HAF/A1.” You can’t make this stuff up. And I’d bet a lot of money the update is not in us aviator’s favor.

Like those who say they'll walk without AvB or maybe (smartly) testing the actual retention rate without AvB...I mean it's been a hot minute since DoD had the legal authority to issue it to members. Maybe they're seeing how many will proceed without it....but if policy is holding it up, why? It's self-defeating

May 4, 20232 yr More comedy from the talking craniums. “Before, the needs of the Air Force would shape your career. Now we have talent marketplace where they can go out and at least provide some more input, have a little more agency in there future assignments.” Just so APFC can disregard them because you just signed a bonus and they know you can’t leave https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-boost-pilot-retention/
May 31, 20232 yr I am just wondering how many people will take the Bone Us money this year if/when it gets released.
