SocialD Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 So they wait until the 9th month of the FY to roll out the bonus, it's out for like 3 minutes and then they shut'er down....you can't make this shit up. Listen up young punks, this is what your leadership thinks of you, and I'm not just talking leaders in a military uniform. What do I expect them to do? The same shit they expect me to do when they give me a TDY/Mission/task and only give me half the budget to accomplish it...figure it the fuck out! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindsight2020 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 DOD can't pass an audit to save their lives, now this happy horsesh!t, Lockmart always gets its money though... and they still have the temerity of accusing my dual-vet household of sabotaging their recruitment efforts by steering our kids away from military service. Un.f^kin.real. USAF takes run the clock offense to the Olympic Gold level. 🤷♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need one-two gray beards at the top to run a flying squadron. The rest can be O-3 and below. Higher risk? Sure, a little. Push people through UPT in 6-months, FTUs in 2 months, double the output, and GROW our AF out of the pilot shortage. Retention is a useless fight at this point. Drop the bonus to $0. We will be just fine. Looks like they took your advice, Chang. That next star is in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deserve the extra money that another star would provide. I will say this: for all of you complainers out there: seriously? You are complaining Uncle Sam took away your pittance $50K/yr to sign your life away for the next 12 years? Get over yourselves you premadonna punks! Get out of my Air Force and go make your money elsewhere. We don’t need you, and we don’t want you. But please, for the love of Pete, stop complaining about missing out on table scraps. It’s so unbecoming of an officer. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged in this morning to see that the window closed at 1630 CDT last night. "Surprise, fvcker!" My UPT ADSC is up soon and I could've been free from these games. I regret choosing to stay in the AF. Sorry but your name is very ironic based on your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t hurt your arm grabbing for that whopping pay raise. $2-3k a month difference from 1 star to 4 star. YGBSM. That’s like…one extra premium pay day at the airline. Might have 2 hours of block time. This isn’t the flex you think it is. I do agree about the bonus complaints. Not offering a bonus will save a lot of bros from themselves. Run fellas, run!!

brabus Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I haven’t heard anything regarding ANG pause. Which would make the whole thing that much more laughable. The ANG has been kicking AD’s ass on the bonus for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if joking. I’ve been off on other adventures for a while now so just getting back to BOps….not sure I’ve seen anything from Chang lately that convinced me he is actually a GO. Pretty sure I wouldn’t be all that impressed if he actually is, as I’m somewhat cynical of most GOs these days based on my first-hand observations. Perhaps there is at least insight to be gained…”what are those idiots thinking!?!”…sorta thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chida Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 My feeling is that nowadays no waivers are entertained at any level bc they gotta pump those numbers up. However, it doesn’t hurt to ask with a good story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
