Maybe he was trying to let Commanders be Commanders instead of issuing an order with a one size fits all mentality.

FIFY

The easy answer is Yes. As others have posted, there are other options, but the bottom line is that what you were told is true.

Completely up to your Commander to an extent on the terminal leave question. If you have the ability to sell back leave, you can be denied that part of leave as terminal and basically forced to utilize the sell back option. Most CC's will not exercise this option, but it can be done if the argument can be made that losing you for x number of days would be detrimental to the unit. You cannot be forced to lose any of your leave, but you can be forced to sell it back if that is still an option for you. Have seen it happen one time. Ever.

Testing is expected to take place at 5 major bases soon and they are looking to purchase by Oct 2012.

There are many more options available to the Sq/CC. Some of those options require the Sq/CC to notify the chain of command up to the AFCENT/CC level. I am interested in what others would have done if they were the Sq/CC.

Here's an article about AF civilian job cuts, https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2011/11/ap-air-force-9000-civilian-jobs-cut-110211/. The bottom line is that the USAF announced the elimination of 9K civilian jobs. FACs are low hanging fruit in that kind of cutting environment. Dyess announced that it's FAC is officially soon to be history.

Obviously money well spent. Uh, No. This is just back to the way it was in the early and mid-90's when you only got 75% TA, unless you were in a missile silo. And later that was determined to be not IAW the regs so they went ahead and gave 100% TA to all. That was also back in the day when only about 85% got promoted to Major IIRC.

It really depends on what the "fess up" info is versus what you told them the first time. But hiding info that they uncover later will only hurt you in the long run. I recently inadvertantly left off some info that has been on every security app I have ever submitted (more than 6, including the last one 5 years ago). It became a huge point of contention even though I could point to every previous questionnaire that had the info. Ultimately, I was able to bolster my contention that this was just an oversight.

It doesn't even take anything that drastic. My doc was going to put me on a statin. I told him no and began a diet and exercise routine that has dropped my blood pressure 20 points on the systolic side, and watched my weight drop about 15 pounds along with losing 3 inches on my waist. The cholesterol is down from a high of mid-200's to 150-175; the LDLs are down from over 160 to below 100. I do know some guys who just have the wrong genes and they need the meds, but most people can get by with diet and exercise and live a long, healthy life without the statins. I have been told if I end up on a statin to take an OTC CoQ-10. It helps to balance out some of the ill effects of the statin. Of course, if a flyer you need to disclose to your flight doc.

Not sure about that one. Know a guy that just got an assignment to EGUN. Leaves in the next 6 months.

Yep, you have to be present in GA to get the license. POA won't work that I'm aware of. Had the same issue many years ago. Nothing has changed.

Previous advice is pretty good advice.

Try this. It has most of the answers. Indeterminate_TDY_Entitlements.pdf

Those past 15 years have already made a choice...on paper...REDUX or Top 3. This plan appears to fly in the face of that. This has probably already been posted, but... https://dbb.defense.gov/pdf/DBB_Military_Retirement_Final_Presentationpdf.pdf

Yes, that is right. If Altus has "contract quarters" then the base would pay for the rooms and not you individually. So, if you pay with your CSA/GTC/personal credit card, then those are not contract quarters. The AETC stipulation is illegal as it was never coordinated through the JFTR/perdiem committee. The JFTR has the force of law, pretty much. The initial letter is good enough.

If this is the base I think it is, there is an individual in the leadership there that implemented that exact policy post-9/11 in his squadron at a major overseas base in Germany. There was an Art 15 that came about as a result of a violation of this policy during that time as well.

Talk to your Admin folks first. Don't know if they still do this, but you used to be able to get a letter in lieu of orders that was signed by the CO/Sq/CC. This would get the ball rolling with TMO prior to having orders in your hand. I know when I moved back to the CONUS from ETAR in '03, they TMO there had stopped using that, but this might suit your needs. If not, then I agree with going to visit your CO.

Does it deal with PMCR or recon?

I think the AMC OPORD is gone...

YJCMTSU!!

B-1 has OBOGS, IIRC?

What the POTUS meant to say was that release of the photos could cause attacks against US forces deployed to the Middle East and that he was not willing to place US troops in harm's way anymore than they already are.

Sleepynav, Who is the Senior USAF IP at NASCC these days? Find them and ask the question or the AF Admin folks. They should be able to get you the info you need. An RRF will probably have to be submitted. The skipper or AF commander down there that you fall under will be responsible to whoever your senior rater is to get this thing submitted.

Masalama, Bitch!
