  1. And you really think there are mass number of people willing to risk everything (including post USAF employment with the Airlines), to take such a drastic stand...no way. The government is REALLY good at writing one-sided contracts, then re-writing them when someone finds a loop hole. This situation is a giant zit that should have been dealt with in the early 2000's but 9/11 as horrible as it was, saved the USAF. The reality is things will get worse before they get better. It appears the Senate is not convinced the crisis is real or like some of the ignoramus senior leaders we've had the past few years, they think patriotism will somehow take over and we will magically meet our retention rates. My opinion only, I believe they will be forced to use STOPLOSS or some similar measure much SOONER rather than later but as everyone here recognizes, that is not a long-term solution and will likely make things worse. Unless there is a major new conflict, this goose is cooked and it will be served. As this situation continues to unfold like a slow motion train wreck, I am actually more concerned about the second and third order effects. The warning signs are there when you see policy letters that effectively water down RTU training and encourage maximum throughput. Watch the accident rates, watch the combat results, and watch the next group of leader who rise.

  2. Haven't talked to JAG yet cause I'm a bum and like every bum, I avoid drill like the plague. I'll try to figure out the other day of the month that they're on base and pay them a visit. I'll let everyone know my findings. In the Q&A thread of the "Road to Wings" section? No thanks. I think current guard pilots might have better input than future guard pilots.

  4. Hi Guys! So I'm in the process of applying to units as well. I was annoyed with the fact that I had to go to guardreservejobs plus many of the specific units websites. So I created a script that goes to all the websites and brings them all into one. This will save a lot of time to keep all of us from going to each individual units webpage. Yes a lot of jobs do get posted to guardreservejobs but not all. I missed out on a few because I thought that was the one stop shop. Check out my website when you get a chance! www.afpilotjobs.com it's still very much in work and I'm still working on some things but for now it's fairly up to date with some current job listings. If you have any questions or find any issues feel free to email me at afpilotjobs@gmail.com. Good luck to all out there applying!

  5. It's almost as if they plan the hypocrisy. Couple this with the death threats the electoral college has received, the party of tolerance may as well be the ministry of peace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
