So you have no idea why they’d be sending you to an FEB? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This situation sucks but the 2 truths are that these pilots will never TX in mass (maybe a lucky 1 or 2) and the 4th gen FTU pipeline is not likely to get better. The usaf doesn't care about retaining talent. Can't make an IP until about the 1/2 way point in the adsc. When most guys bail with their 1 FTU assignment complete, you, as an air force, are in a perpetual state of ipug. Can't survive once your available #'s start decreasing, which happened about 10 years ago. Either they up the bonus to $1M a year or the usaf will die a slow and painful death.

You’re right. Pisses me off though, cops shouldn’t be spring loaded to shoot anyone holding a weapon otherwise we have no right to bear arms. “Officer safety” before “constitutional rights” is tyranny. Not in Florida: Under Florida Statute 782.04(4), a person is guilty of murder in the third degree if they unintentionally kill another person while committing or attempting to commit a non-violent felony.

He didn't have his finger on the trigger and the gun was pointed at the ground. That cop is gay.

Yeah, the ads have been pretty annoying lately. Every time I try to click on something, another pop-up or banner shows up. It’s super frustrating. Some people use this annoying banner, but they have no clue that it makes things even worse. There are other ways to promote things. Personally, I've boosted the online presence of my website with the help of searchseo. It gave me some real results.

I don't think you can argue dumping half a magazine into a guy answering his door is unintentionally killing him. I also don't know what non-violent felony the LEO would be charged with. Thus, it would be tough to convict on that definition.

Thing is, the inflection point is training completion. If the member wants out of the AF ASAP, it'd be more advantageous for him/her to start the ADSC clock by finishing UPT than it would be to get banked like in the 90s, awaiting initial training while in some other AFSC. Frankly, I'm surprised big blue hasn't in fact considered 90s styled banking in lieu of starting these people's ADSC clock. Retention at this point is stipulated as a non-concern for big blue. It's not a business accountable to anyone but congressional pork, as such senior management can afford to be perfectly price-inelastic when it comes to the question of retention.

My class got hit with this same crap back in the day. 2 fighters out of 22 T-38 assignables. Fast forward and all the heavy and AFSOC guys are at an airline and only the two fighter dudes are left on AD. That first kick in the nuts woke a lot of us up on how important we were to the AF.

The 90s called, they want credit for this good idea.

Yeah I figured what you guys are saying is what would happen. Really sucks for anyone dropping heavies from 38s but obviously its not the first time and it definitely won't be the last. Funny to me that they say they need everybody going into 38s to go to a fighter but then they pull this BS... typical

There’s basically zero chance you’d get released back to a fighter if you’ve already been trained in a heavy platform. It’s hard enough to switch platforms in the same MAJCOM, let alone cross-MAJCOM. Once that heavy drops your name in an FTU class with a fixed number of spots per year and spends time and money training you, they’re gonna want a payback in the form of several years of flying in an ops squadron, and then the functional will want to keep you as a body to fill shortfalls within the community or white jets. The “promise” of a going back to a fighter will be a long-forgotten empty consolation for your hard work in UPT that was made by someone who is now no longer in your chain of command.

Holloman is a train wreck for manpower and maintenance, who would have thought.

AFPC can’t get out of their own way. Same shit happened in ~2010, with FTU backed up they basically didn’t drop Vipers for 18 months. Personnelists fixed the glitch and PCS’d, only to leave the 07-09 year groups with essentially no Viper pilots. Lots of stupid 2nd/3rd order effects flow from those kind of poor decisions, not the least of which is some real mouth-breathers having a clear path to rank just because the AF desperately needs O-6s in their AFSC and year group.
