Because any enlisted member with the chops to do those jobs should go to OTS and get the higher pay they deserve. ::headdesk::

I find it tragic that this dolt was granted an appointment to West Point which in turn denied someone who loves their country the same appointment.

PRFs should have four lines for the senior rater to fill out. 1. This candidate meets all eligibility requirements for promotion. YES/NO (no requires mandatory comment) 2. I have reviewed this candidates record and found no derogatory information. YES/NO (no is mandatory comment) 3. Strat. My #______/________ for this board. 4. DP/P/DNP Everything else the PRF communicates is already captured in the promotion record.

I should have put ethnocentric on quotes, as I'm not using the term literally but figuratively. I meant to say that the air Force is obsessed with one drop rules and degrees of separation in everything they do, regardless of fiscal realities or combat readiness. 11f centrisms in pilot training pipelines being the historical perfect example of this obsession with elitism. Enlisted flyers or the warrant discussion would be another one. So then, even though the reason the idea is stupid is because an enlisted flyer would have a bigger economic incentive to jump ship with his training than a comissioned officer, the reason they'll end up shelving it will have little to nothing to do with this reality. But dead is dead so what does it matter anyways. That was my point.

Na, the Rebels will game the system 1st by trying to take their test on the moon. Starfleet will reply by requiring everyone to return to earth every 6 months, but will see that as too costly, and will try to institute gravity regs. The Italian foreign exchange dude will mock his fellow spacemen as he sips Space Chianti on Mars... the red wine for the red planet. Out

If they have degrees. His scheme wont survive 1st contact when enlistments are up and the AF has shit on them. They'll take their very valuable skill and get real paid. The Es that go pilot will be smart enough to get the degree while they can. The pay jump for those guys is even more. AF better have a supp flight pay to make them par or else. He must be thinking that keeping Es would be easier than Os. He'll be wrong. Out

You sound really ing whiny.

Great news! Gen Weggeman is getting another star and will be the ACC Vice...Deputy...whatever. I might just stay in a little bit longer than necessary.

Seven years and a $100m study. Then you can purchase a mil-spec DJI Phantom from an NG shell company.

No, there is an ANG unit in STL that used to fly F-15C's, so your statement isn't just inaccurate , it's confusing.

I say we meet for Duck’s separation party and let a super drinkoff tournament ensue until no one remembers who won and we have a good time.

That's as close to smiling as I've ever seen that man, except right before he hooked me as student.
