If "hairdresser at Walmart" didn't signal an immediate greenlight for extramarital butthole pleasures, the dueling foot tattoos are a reliable source of secondary confirmation.

But this is the Air Force sooooo anytime from the 10th of Jan to the 5th of April

Lol yea the Air Force has its own schedule so I won’t hold my breath

I'm a glass half full kind of guy... I would take that to mean results are finally out!

I just feel anxious now. Very suspicious of anything my leadership does out of the ordinary [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

lol, the math makes sense, but does the Air Force? We shall see. Either way I'm excited for Tuesday now

Feel like this week has been going in slow motion lol

After Benjamin Harrison denied South Dakota it’s rightful place ahead of those godless heathens to their north in 1889 with his Dakota Territory statehood stunt (https://time.com/4377423/dakota-north-south-history-two/), we will finally settle it on the gridiron for the National Championship! North Dakota State and South Dakota State play on Sunday for the FCS National Title for the first time ever. The two schools have played each other 113 times in their histories (and have one of the best traveling trophies in college football https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Marker) but never for all the marbles. Tune in Sunday! I’ll be the drunk one in the Blue.

Obviously they shop for their clothes at Walmart as well!

Nooo, I have no idea what you could possibly mean. when we bugged out for the Iranian TBMs 3 years ago, we had a CSO find a secret kneeboard accidentally stashed in his go bag. His first reaction— he ate it.

So true!

This year's bonus is a link to Airline Apps. It's the most they could afford.

BTW congrats to Qasem Soleimani. This marks three years since he quit smoking.

I've never known AFPC to meet a suspense, either their own or an external one.

Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't mean that he was quick to cry. I meant that he was a careerist twat who would do anything to stay in the spotlight. That's his public persona as far as I can tell, and that's what his squadron mate confirmed.

Tears up over minor inconveniences?

Not enough tattoos and too many teeth to qualify for Walmart employment. I call shenanigans.

Yes, that was my point, but without the negative implication. At the low end of the industry, PIC = FAR 61.51 PIC. If you are looking at low end CFI or banner flying jobs and they ask you for your PIC, you give them the FAR 61.51 number, including sole manipulator. If you're applying at FedEx, they will specify that you only give them the I-signed-for-the-aircraft number. To your original question… You’ll probably have 300-400 hours when you finish UPT and training. Your clearest path to aviation industry profit after UPT is to whore yourself out to every TDY, deployment, and exercise you can to get 750 on the .mil dime, no matter your airframe. Once you get 750, go to a regional and the path from there is pretty well established. If you want to go a non-airline route, there are many, many paths through the woods. They're much less established and will take networking legwork, but they can certainly be more interesting than DFW-OKC.

So here's my logic... Last year's (2021) application due date was Oct 5th, and the results were sent to commanders January 11th, with the official release on PSDM January 18th open to all members to view. This last year's board application due date was Oct 4th (2022), so if using the same timeline, the date commanders would be notified would land on January 10th with it posted on the 17th on PSDM. Also, the member who commented a while ago who actually posts the results on PSDM said 2.5 - 3 weeks from when the board made their decisions (Dec 20th) is when they are expecting to post it. Jan 10th would be the 3 week mark, so..... Using all that overanalysis, and knowing what I know about the AF, I'm watching my CC reeeeaaal hard starting tomorrow [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Or green flags

God bless that young man, what a patriot 🫡🇺🇸 The SCIF pocket is also an unusual but approved method for transporting classified. Just gotta double-bag it, so stuff it in your underwear inside of your flight suit and Lady Liberty will remain tucked in and secure at home 😅

Stolen from twitter.

You can tell the lack of interest in retaining pilots by the lack of urgency in getting these PSDMs out. Like literally, every day, some dude or dudette is hitting their go/no-go decision point on hitting the punch out button, and they may be waiting to see what the bonus is like to stay in. As an 11R I would certainly not have risked staying if I knew a few days later there wouldn't be any bonus offered at all. Thankfully something that I didn't get caught by but know a few people that did.

True, but with his bamboo eye socket spoon, wooden fork and paper straw spitballer complete with a “bullet button.”

https://nypost.com/2023/01/03/we-met-working-at-walmart-and-cheated-on-our-spouses-you-should-follow-your-heart/ This is a warm hearted love story about cheating on your spouses while working at Walmart.

I tend to think so. If I'm not mistaken, the official PDSM released on Jan 20th of last year, with CCs notifying selects the week prior/the second week of Jan. So yeah, if it follows from the past, it'll be next week

Man I don’t think I’ll be able to cope if it’s longer than next week

I feel like next week is the week!! 🤞🏻At least I hope so haha. Anyone heard anything more on their end or is our current guidance still "mid-January?"

Disclaimer, I've used this before. So Michigan lost, and Ohio St lost? I'll have a Coke.

Approved separation date ✅

But did they make Major? /s (It is a promotion thread)

What will be worse is when one of you guys find out and everyone else is still in the dark…..

Yep. Wish we did better in that regard, and I’ll continue to work & vote to that end, but you won’t see me emigrating to Sweden anytime soon. Lots of absolutists on the internet these days. If you’re liberal, the Republicans are leading us into oblivion & if you’re conservative, the Dems are marching us straight into hell. Time to give it a rest. Stop letting our own visions of perfect blind us from seeing what a good thing we have. That’s how we lose it.

No, I’m pretty sure I know exactly what I meant when I said it’s all relative and it’s you who miss the point. Some here continually argue that the U.S. is a dumpster fire. My point (along with others) is that it doesn’t matter. Maybe we are a complete mess (Though I think it’s a bit hyperbolic to argue that point), but we’re the least bad option out there. And that’s the way it’s always been. We’ll never be perfect, but given all other options, the US is a pretty fuckin’ good place to be. Try and make it better while your here, but also enjoy it because, at the end of the day, your time here is vanishingly short.

This is a good thing. After all, we lost Afghanistan because we masked advanced degrees during two different eras while engaged in OIF.

Unless there's some force shaping in the near future, does this really change anything about the 99% promotion rate to major? I can see it being an issue at the O-5 level for some that have accidentally stuck around.

You're a true American hero, thank ya brotha!! I wonder if the timeline is similar to last year's or if they're a bit further along this year. Last year, the list went out to MPF and senior raters on the second Tuesday of Jan, the 11th. Maybe we'll get an early holiday or New Years present?? 🙌🙌

That's good to hear, but..

2.7 last year and 4.6 this year.... FTX-peddling Jesus, that's a two year stuffing up the six. Good thing the wife re-joined the skilled workforce earlier in the year, that's about the only way I'm "keeping up" with inflation these days. Groceries/sundries are circa +25% annualized YoY for me. I checked with the Amex over 12 months revolving, couldn't believe it at first. The other part that sucks is that there's no way I can ever afford to move. 2.25% fixed... means I'm gonna die in this copy/paste suburban tract shitbox, cuz housing left the affordable station behind where my W-2 is still navel-gazing like a CR washout fucko awaiting adsep. 😄 Bonus don't affect my retirement cashflow; basic rates being shorted like this otoh, fundamentally does. Just like in the airlines, soft pay potato is such a red herring it ain't even funny.

Now show me on the map with a near peer threat where you're going to park that sweet sweet boat out of anti ship missile range but also where the F-35s are in striking distance. I'll wait
