Seriously. I just heard from the bobs at my AFRC unit that the people on high have directed that anyone coming from AD to our unit who is current and qualified will be gained as an overage without hurting our manning/hiring numbers. Our unit is healthy, but big blue is bleeding pilots so badly they have to dictate such measures. In other news, this is my last day in the AF. Thank God.

I bought that online from an Ukrainian teenager for 140 dollars and a pack of Marlboro reds.

you seem more concerned with the media aspect than the actual abuses involved.

Ain’t no Burger Kings in Fairford, fortunately

I actually lol’d, this was me last year at 19 years in.

We're still fighting - I think in Mississippi or Alabama. One of the gem states. But this is the best statement of the year by Biff. If Newsom runs for president we'll see just how f'd up this country is.

I’m just hoping budget priorities result in a crew ratio adjustment and an “excess” of pilots and they open up VSP/TERA again. Wishful thinking I know, but given how inept our leadership is, nothing surprises me and I could see it happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah yes, the US Air Force “We don’t have enough pilots” Then they don’t promote the pilots they have Then they wonder why they don’t have any pilots…. Let’s see here: Continuation to 20 as a captain vs. get a line number and join the ARC and try to make Major there. Which one makes way more financial sense?

Not a video but I took a few pictures of some cool military aircraft books I found at a used book store. look at the crew on the B-36

I also got a TBNT yesterday, interview invites went out on the 7th. Best of luck, onto the next one.

He does, and his true character shone through. Abraham Lincoln: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

If the great Llama is doing this in public on camera, then for sure he is doing worse in private and his handlers know it. The llama probably doesn't know what planet he's on right now.

Screwed by the other services on Fat Amy again.

There's about 100 MQ-9 sensor operators who should all be under investigation now lmao 🤣

Imagine a war without rip-its, no thanks.

A former Sq mate went to AFIT as a Maj. He's now at United Airlines.

Echo what john said, with a few additions. Your wait time will depend largely on your age and whether or not you are coming from active duty. For the AD types, I think that they generally have a certified FC1 before applying to the OTS board, so they tend to get class assignments faster. Additionally, they get their follow-on assignment before reporting to OTS, so they will already know when and where they are going to UPT. If you are not currently on AD, then your scenario will mostly depend on your age. Once your FC1 is approved, the time to be notified of a class date is usually in the range of 2-8 weeks. Just to give you an idea: I was notified of my selection on 9/11/03, took my (second) FC1 on 10/15/03, was notified that it was stamped on 12/22/03, and am now expecting to hear of my class date any day now. I am also nearly 29 years old, so I expect that my class date will be Feb or April. Those that are less age critical will usually have a longer wait between class date notification and actual departure for OTS class, but of course, there are always exceptions. Also, for civilian OTS selects, you'll learn your UPT date and location about midway through OTS, or so I am told. You'll be able to apply for ENJJPT in the first couple of weeks, and you'll also fill out a dream sheet for the other bases. Edit: Gil, I just read another of your posts concerning PRK and see that you are AD. All of the AD applicants that I've read about on airforceots.com have their FC1 approved before the OTS board, hence my assumption that having a certified FC1 was required for AD folks. I'll leave this post for anybody else with similar questions, though. [ 09 January 2004, 08:39: Message edited by: determined ]

Yeah, this is really depressing

Dear god. Did I read that correct? And you are spouting on this forum?
