Whining? No, it will be a full on tantrum. I'm mostly convinced the reason he picked Kavanaugh is because he wanted to save Coney-Barrett for the possibility RGB dies in the next couple years. The left will go nuclear if RGB is replaced under Trump, and the optics of the Dems yelling at a woman about abortion is exactly the type of thing that Trump exploits perfectly.

No coincidence that it happened right after Corona and following LtGen Grosso’s departure from A1... Hopefully the uptick continues. Chuck

Maybe because they are not taking the green bags away... The guidance I got from AMC and ANG says anyone on aeronautical orders will maintain a sage green FDU. The only people I have seen/heard talking about the green bags going away are people on Baseops.net freaking out about heritage and looking cool.

Will the multicam patches replace the full color ones or supplement them? The primarily brown pantone of the MAJCOM patches will look stupid on the green bag.

The way I read new reg wording, I’d wager no. It appears to effect only ADSCs for some types of flying training. I don’t see how a GI bill benefit transfer ADSC (or in-res school ADSC as another example) would be erased. i could be wrong, and it’s always worth a second opinion.

Are contributions from my service also mine to keep if I separate from service? This is where the word “vested” comes in. Being vested means having ownership. To be fully vested in your account means you are entitled to all of the funds in it. Like any uniformed services member with a TSP account, BRS members are always vested in their own contributions and their earnings. They're also immediately vested in Service Matching Contributions and their earnings. To become vested in Service Automatic (1%) Contributions, however, you must have completed at least two years of service. If you’ve completed two years of service before you opt in, you’re immediately vested in your entire account. https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tspfs01.pdf

Not sure man. Sorry.

Ironically, I threw that card at my CC. Maybe Maverick can save us in Top Gun 2 by bringing the love and respect back for the bag? That's until flight medicine perma DNIFs him before a high visibility mission for something asinine. Oh Mav, by the way, you're still red in PEX.

Let’s be honest, there’s no plan.

1. Talk to the right people 2. Instruct 38s 3. ??? 4. Profit

KRCA seems like it’d be a great UPT base (if added 2 more runways). Powder River MOAs are close, airspace is wide open, tons of ramp space, pretty good weather year round (obviously some winter issues).

Flying an ALR extreme mission at least comes with a clear intent and a sense of satisfaction.

Spot on. Furthermore, the leaders who say “stay in because your country needs you” just don’t understand the dynamics. I’m 100% of my family’s father and husband population. They need me more. Until the situation is better (or at least similar) for the family when folks stay in the Air Force, most will choose to get out. That means the money has to be close. It’s programmed into us genetically. Risk of death? Bad. Provide for kids so that they can continue to spread 50% of my genes? Good. Keeping the wife happy? See risk of death. It’s not selfish to pursue greener pastures. It’s selfish to stay in to satisfy ‘quality of service’ at the expense of a family. There’s always volunteering for the Boys and Girls Club or Coast Guard auxiliary... on my brand new 30’ boat. (Lots of caveats: some families value that quality of service as a unit, some people are psychopaths, some people don’t have families, some people didn’t bald and bloat at 35 and can get new families, etc.)

Are they all complete losses? Time to reopen the line MAGA more Raptors... 5 more squadrons! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hell, I say reopen K.I. Sawyer in the upper peninsula of Michigan, turn and burn over Lake Superior. Learn to love snow and cold weather OP's. Or any other northern tier old remote SAC base.

My money is on the abbreviated syllabus that ends with an FEB at sometime before BFM-5.

Worth repeating. Delta won’t ask to see your PT scores.

There's a guy in my reserve unit that is one seniority number from being able to bid to live in domicile. He's been stuck there for almost a year. $30,000 is one month's worth of captain's pay. It's hard to understand what even just a little bit of seniority means in this business. If you want to fly for the airlines for the rest of your working life, get out as soon as you can.
