I’m sure this will turn out fine. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3800809/department-of-the-air-force-launches-niprgpt/

Yeah, don’t do it. 11R’s have been beat up pretty good the past few years; no bonus, smaller bonus, harder to make O-5. It’s going to remain overmanned while they’re sunsetting airframes, good riddance JSTARS. I would have given anything to get back to the Herc.

Until clear evidence is shown it is only right to keep eyes wide open. But there is at least visual reference showing strong language from our own President and at least one other governmental worker. Those videos I posted earlier in this page.

Timing is a bit coincidental…. https://notesfrompoland.com/2022/09/26/new-polish-gas-pipeline-from-norway-to-reach-full-capacity-ahead-of-schedule/ Vid 1 - Victoria Nuland at 3:00. Vid 2 - President Biden at 1:28.

Give ‘em to some CAP units.

Has anybody looked into the feasibility of “interning” at a flying job?

Wonder how this will look. "The fiscal 2017 NDAA provided authorization to increase Aviation Incentive Pay, commonly known as monthly flight pay, which the service plans to increase this summer." https://www.af.mil/mobile/News/Article/1202627/air-force-announces-significant-changes-to-aviation-bonus-program/

It is found on your ADP page. Mine did say C-130 B/E TAC AIRLIFT, but has recently changed to PROPS-MC-12.

Like a quarter of all the herc community O's

The boss rescinded the ABU policy after a month. Back to normal ops.

RIP brothers. The pilot was a good friend. Like others have said, he was just an all around great dude.

Ya think.

That gets an "amen" from the wife.

So you figured them out. I'm 30+ and I'm still right there w/ the 18/19 yr olds.

Anybody here gone through Ranger School? It's not just about meeting the standards. Most are washed out in the first week because they don't have the mental fortitude to gut through it. Yes the official answer with the fitness test is so many push ups/situps/pull ups; but it is also a test of the mind. Guys are typically knocking out 90+ push ups in that event because the grader will mess w/ them and not count push ups. A candidate will continue to knock them out until they have achieved the minimum number. The grader will mark down the 65 push ups required but as I said before they more than likely knocked out 90+. The same goes for the rest of the test with the exception of the 5 mile run in 40 min's. Ranger school is all about a gut check. A lot of guys who make it past the first week, who are at the top of their game physically, will not make it due to some form of leg/knee injury from all the rucking that they do. Then there is also peer evaluations. So how do you think a woman will make it through the peer evals (that will be out the door). Anybody ever watch any of the documentaries on Ranger School. To quote my wife, "women are already loopy from the start." Men are working on almost pure instinct by the point that it gets to where guys start hallucinating. I don't see a woman even making it through Infantry Training which I have been through. If we are looking at full equality. Then I would suggest that there is just one PT standard which males currently do, true equality since there is no real difference between a man and a woman. As a father of a daughter, I am completely against it especially since this will create a possibility that she has no choice but to enter military service. I do not believe in equality. Some are made stronger, faster and smarter and good on them. In the realm of ground battle, men have the obvious advantages that are necessary for winning battles as quickly and efficiently as possible. I can remember my Parachute Infantry Regiment Company Commander almost disowning me because I had purchased GI Jane. I thought it was a half entertaining movie. But I knew it was fiction and could never happen. I know it won't happen until they lower the standards for the sake of equality and giving in to the whining women that want leadership positions just for the sake of the title. It will be harder to operate and win quickly and efficiently w/ women in the combat units.
