Go ANG/AFRC, get promoted.

Name does not check out

@GDAL and @cagg011, calm TF down, you both sound like idiotic ROTC cadets.

But sometimes it’s worth it, got this last weekend in Los Angeles using Turo, rented for the weekend. Ferrari 488 GTB Spider.

AFPC feedback was surprisingly helpful. It was a Lt Col who was the head of promotions, he went over all of the board instructions and then he went through some stuff in my record that stood out to him that wasn't in my prf that he thought should have been and just some writing techniques to strengthen the PRF. And we discussed SSB procedures to see if I could qualify. Ultimately he told me that my record was stronger than people who got promoted but my PRF didn't reflect that and that the board may have read something into it. My Rater and Senior Rater feedback was worthless. My SR in my feedback when I asked why I didn't earn a DP said "don't worry, you have a great record, you will get promoted " my rater only said that I was his #1 and our pool must have been competitive.

I'm curious about this AFPC feedback. Is it some random AFPC GS-10 giving you feedback based on current year board stats? How useful is the feedback? Did you get honest feedback from your direct leadership before and after the board? I haven't seen much non-rated O6 level mentoring prior to the boards, except at the MAJCOM level where the director tells you that you are at the top/middle/bottom of the top/middle/bottom percentile. It's too bad.

Pro tip: Get a VA disability rating if you have anything to claim and you’ll start paying down your debt immediately and be done with it well prior to receiving reserve retirement pay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mildly related to this, when the AF was on the hook to take over a 3 star level JTF (I think around 2015), we had some tomato heads show up who were part of Welsh's CAG. Their mission was to figure out what capabilities the AF could provide with their own ground force. I'm talking infantry type stuff, so the AF JTF/CC would be his own JFLCC or JTF Land, depending on the size of the campaign. I don't think it went beyond a white paper but that was some weird shit. I could kind of get my head around the attempted cyber grab, but to even consider building infantry capes when we were already short on manning and iron for the air campaign was beyond my comprehension.

Light Attack in FY20 NDAA Amendments: https://rules.house.gov/bill/116/hr-2500 Amendment 73 with 6 FL Republican sponsors (A-29s here we come): Revised Provides U.S. Special Operations Command procurement authority for Light Attack aircraft in support of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Combat Air Advisor (CAA) mission. It also directs the Secretary of the Air Force to obligate, or transfer to USSOCOM, the necessary funds that have been made available for light attack aircraft to procure the required number of aircraft for Air Combat Command’s Air Ground Operations School and AFSOC’s CAA mission

When you load up the tapes, you just have to plug this in first.
