We currently have a dictator and radical Islamic terrorists killing each other...am I the only one who thinks this is the best foreign policy we have had in a couple decades?

Get over yourself dude. The reality is that most (not all) students in the T-38 still want pointy-nosed jets. The last two drops at my base had 6/8 and 6/7 fighters respectively and guess what? The bottom studs in each class got the non-fighters. No one is dogging the U-28. I know just some of what it does and the mission is awesome. The fact remains though, the overwhelming majority of students still rank their assignments like this: fighters first, FAIP second, mix of bombers/AFSOC third. I talk to them all the time about their dream sheets, and they do mention Clovistan and deployment rates as a factor, especially if they are married. I know two AFSOC guys very well and they both have their "how I ended up not getting a fighter" stories. Yes, they both love what they do. In time, egos heal and true pilots bloom where they are planted, so everyone ends up convinced that THEIR airframe is the best in the AF. That being said, everyone "earns" their assignments. UPT is the most non-bullshit, non-political, non-PME/AAD environment we have left. It's simple order of merit, and if you finish on the bottom you will probably get what's left over

Stratfor publishes some very informative analyses. A Little tidbit of information...the AF actually provides all of us with a free Stratfor subscription. Log in to the portal and click on the "Library" tab. About 2/3 of the way down, on the right side, is a link to Stratfor. Free full access to their site. Back to the topic at hand...

WHY is that our problem?

So move...

Most helpful post of all time, seriously.

How many of those got a P vs a DP from that same WG/CC? That's the real issue. Your chances to promote decline significantly with a P, the WG/CC determines who gets what (DP/P) on their PRF. All the board sees is the recommendation from your base and then look at the supporting data. No AAD and a P is pretty much the kiss of death. Just saying, your WG/CC is the problem not the lack of the AAD if he's not giving DP's to people because they don't have an AAD. On a side not, my WG/CC recently addressed many of us here about the next O-4 board and made the statements that CSAF policy is not to require AAD and you should only do SOS corr if you don't go in residence. Many left there with a smile feeling like the CSAF finally made an impact. A week or so later an "email" from my SQ/CC clarified policy and that is that to be competitive for SOS in res you must complete it in corr. It also went on to say similar things about competitiveness and the AAD. Which is it? This sh!ts gotten out of control.

Could you clarify this statement? Because it sounds like you're a UPT IP who thinks the bottom students "earned" a U28..... And if that's the case you have no idea what U28s do and you're an idiot who has hurt the war effort.

I had to send my XD45 compact back because of some major rusting on the slide (a known issue). Called them up, was asked a few questions and they e-mailed me a postage form (prepaid postage). Dropped the slide in a box, attached the form to the outside and had it in the mail an hour later. They refinished the slide and sent it back, with two new mags for my inconvenience. Their customer service was great!

Aw, hell... Just to note the XDSpistol.com and Springfieldrecall.com websites don't seem to be working correctly. Call Springfield with your serial number to confirm whether your pistol is affected by this or not...

The U.S., British, and French will shortly announce the name of the pending Joint Operation against the Syrian government forces. There are no rumor of what this joint operation will be called at this time. Key administration official did release the name of the designated theme tune for this Joint Operation. The theme tune that was selected is; The Three Stooges, which according to key administration officials is both patriotic and historical. The same officials cautioned older Americans and children to not confuse the Three Stooges theme tune with the Three Blind Mice tune. The Three Blind Mice tune was determined to be unpatriotic and it also has connections to Islamic fundamentalism that can be traced back over a millennium.

Loose, like BQZip's mom after her weekly Saturday gangbang?

I don't have any advice.. but if I did, I wouldn't give it until you changed your name to "TexanII154"
