And the AF is almost getting ready to the point where I can decide whether I want to be a man or a woman!

Plus it'll help with your PT test.

Not on the abdominal circumference, thats the only difficult part.

Bet the first one will be a fighting falcon driver

Nope, we're all too busy laughing at the crew chief butt-f&cking, Cosmo-posing, purse-wearing Eagle drivers.

I had totally forgot about that dude in Cosmo.  My God. 

"One comeback as a fighting falcon driver.....and I'm done." -says the F16 pilot ragging on Eagle drivers. Very similar to the single engine. One engine and I'm done.

I know that, as an Eagle driver, you'll probably enjoy doing this:

Okay. Hold on. I'll google something funny that I didn't make or think up and repost it here......oh wait you've already done that.

I guess you could have drawn that by yourself. I shouldn't assume, like you did that I'm an Eagle Driver. In that case I cross referenced your drawing of the anus and internal rectal cavities with some pictures I found online......and it looks like your personal knowledge of the male rectal cavity is spot on! Nice work.

On a completely unrelated note what does Ram stand for?

This is awesome, I'd have to say that Ram has the upper hand though.

I don't expect someone of your "persuasion" to realize something like this, but the pictured anatomy was that of a woman.

I guess expectation bias theory is true, and you really do see what you WANT to see.

Also, I'm sure those "pictures you found online" probably came from the Eagle Bros Dating App.

Seriously, it's like you guys can't help yourselves. Too easy.

Well, that's fucking lame.

I was indeed disappointed, hence my "weigh in":

DP will be near 100%, P will be around 50%. There is your most important marker.

So back to the discussion. What is the biggest discriminator amongst P's assuming boxes checked?  The SR push line? Statements like "if I had one more DP" or "my DP if I had one?" Do SR's really differentiate  amongst the P's?  Overall strength of record?

I would like to know that too. Also did everyone twice passed over to Major get offered continuation? The one guy in my Wing did, so no separation pay for him.

Some O-5 bottom line discriminators:

Does it have a push for Sq/CC, Sq/DO, or something else?

If there are a large number of IPZ in the SR's group, is there a strat?

"If I had one more DP" is generally a good thing on a P PRF unless overused by a SR...although I guess they've been cracking down on the use of "Definitely promote!" in the bottom line if it is a P.

Does the overall PRF tell the story of how you performed the past X years and that you have the potential to lead at the next rank?

Does the rank of the SR make any difference in the PRF?  i.e. a 3 star vs a normal 0-6 WG/CC?

My take:  All depends on the situation/position of the ratee & rater and the record.

Two relatively equal records with a *he's a good guy" bottom line - maybe the Stars carry more weight depending on his/her position (i.e. NAF commander saying so vs. pentagon back-office 2-star saying so) - but there is an entire record to be reviewed regardless of who happens to be your SR now.  Usually O-6 Wg/CCs have bigger strat pools so you can theoretically get a much better strat that way than from the 2-Star HAF/XPGESLCUEFVZ office A-Rng cubicle SR...

Example - A shit-hot strat from an O-6 Wg/CC(#1,2,3/50 eligibles) is probably gonna be hotter than a #1/13 from a 3-Star...  However if you're working for the star-holder in a special capacity (i.e. selected for position based on past performance) - that's gonna factor.

So again - it depends...Yes - if the CSAF or COCOM/CC is personaly rating you, there is probably a reason and that is going to carry weight.  But remember it's about the entire record though - so a long record of good performance is going to show regardless of the rank of SR.

A DP from a 3/4-star will probably get you promoted BPZ. A DP from anyone including BQZip's mom will get you promoted IPZ.

Everything matters and can make the difference in a PRF.  Guys who are getting promoted to O-5 with a 'P' are more likely working at a staff type job for a GO vs working at some Wing.

For O-5?  I don't think so...

Does Learjetter want to weigh in?

BTZ?  I think that the job matters a bit more.  Those I've know get BTZ were not in wing jobs, but rather staffs of Joint/COCOM etc.  They're out getting breadth and getting strat'd by non-AF bosses.  If you can impress the AF SRs and say a Marine or Navy leader, then BTZ is looking good.  But for IPZ, either of those strats will likely lead to success.  Again, this is just based on those I know.  Those you know probably did it differently.

I've said my piece and counted to three.

Is this because these GOs have smaller staffs with less DP's to give and the guy with the P at staff is higher caliber than the #13/24 guy at a wing?
