Anyone know if you can drop 135’s to March ARB as active duty. I know they have a AD tenant unit there. Trying to gage if it’s possible. Thanks in advance!

It has happened, but I wouldn’t count on it unless you have a join spouse preference. I’m also pretty sure it’s a reverse associate unit, not AD tenant.

It is an associate unit--Total Force Association/TF Integration, what have you. Like CaptainMorgan said, your best chance is join spouse. There are a handful of KC-135 TFA units out there, and they drop infrequently. They are also quite popular.

100% possible. But, statistically unlikely. My class (granted this was a while ago) got AD to Scott, March, and Birmingham in the same drop. Figure, they get one or two new people a year.

I heard they’re creating a secret tanker unit at March.   They’re moving the KC-10s back there instead of the boneyard.   Lol

That’d be awesome 😎

Congrats dudes!   Have a cold one at Crappy's!   

Does Mother Rucker still have drops lol?  I haven't seen one on here in while.  

Anyone have any idea on what Elmendorf active C-17 life is like? How often are they gone? I’ve heard it’s less than other C-17 bases because they do air drop and are in PACAF.

Careful, you’re going to end up on the Pentagon social media monitor calling it Rucker.

I’ve got zero issues renaming this place after a dude that flew B-29’s in WW2, got out of the AF Reserves as an O-5 (and gave up an airline line number!) to be a W-4 in the Army. He then earned the Medal of Honor doing 15 evacuation flights to save 29 ARVN soldiers.

I agree.  

Edit: After second thought, I don't think he had enough DFCs (3) or AMs (64).  

I learned me something today.  😌

Buffs dropping from T-1s again?

Negative, just one guy in the entire drop was T-38 tracked. But there are rumors here that a 38 FAIP is gonna go heavies and a 1 guy is gonna get buffs in a trade (dual mil FAIPs with with one a 38 track and the other a 1).
