Scoobs I thought you were already an AGR F35/C-17/KC-46 pilot and a wide body captain at delta? Or did I get you mixed up with someone else?

If you have a desirable package, you should consider applying to F-15 units, you might have more luck. Trying sending them an email with pictures of said package. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Dude, you've got some reading to do. Recommend the following threads: ACP (the bonus), What's wrong with the AF, Leaving the AF for the airlines, Leadership at the 'Died (you'll laugh AND cry) Start with posts around 2010 and read forward. If you thought joining the military meant you'd be part of an efficient organization that is lethal/agile/incorruptible, then I've got bad news for you. Bureaucracy and political correctness reign supreme. Happy reading.

I swear the window lickers at A1 think the only purpose a CAF squadron fills is turning new LTs into "experienced" 11Fs, thereby feeding the need for all the non-CAF "high priorities." Remember back when the CAF was all about combat capability?

Protip for life right here. Bonus: keeping your felt neatly trimmed helps make your deck look bigger too from what I understand.

The Elmo thing was mentioned when they announced the Charlotte transition to the 17. As for Hickam, that was mentioned by a friend that was in the unit. The idea was mentioned because it is very seldom that a mission originates from Hawaii. Everything has to be shipped there so why do we have aircraft stationed where there is an oceanic flight to even initiate the mission? As for sending people to a unit that is closing. First it's supposed to be 2018 so you still have to accomplish the mission. Second, ask anyone who went up there in the active duty 130 squadron how it worked out for them. That unit lasted less than two years. The overmanned numbers came from AFPC about six months ago. As stated from the functional "If you were an IP in the C-17 and are now in AETC don't expect to go back. Expect a staff job next". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, what if that individual have zero fuc&$ about making O-5? How about having dudes in your sqdn that want to be there? Who cares if he has some other stink in him/her. Even if they're only there for one tour, they still were there. Big Blue has made WAY poorer decisions in the past.

https://news.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/SECDEF_NDAA_Letter.pdf#viewer.action=download It's a great read and I encourage everyone to look at the full document. Highlights SECDEF Carter letter to SASC Chairman regarding NDAA, 13 Jul 2016

Concur. If you like protecting friendlies and killing enemies, you'll like the U28. And it will open your eyes to the full spectrum of our worldwide counterterrorist efforts in a way other manned platforms will not. Also the stateside flying of our PC-12 companion trainer is a blast. I took that thing to several hundred exotic and challenging locations that had never seen a plane that big (comparatively) land there.

Copy, package desirable.........

I've heard that the Reserves(Guard?) are requiring 6 years as an Art after Upt. Is this going to cause people not to apply? Has manning gotten that bad?
