AMC units I have been in for years have had a contractor to manage the program on stand alone computers, IIRC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Herk Driver replied to Toro's topic in General Discussion
ACP is a one way contract. The AF can let you out of it but they do not have to. If so, you have to pay back unearned parts of the bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
What happened to the harness? Did it get removed? ...cords, harness, crouch... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Flying Commitment in the Reserves?

Flying Commitment in the Reserves?
Herk Driver replied to Velosprints's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Interesting since there is at least one FAC 6 waiver that was granted to an IMA within the last year...so maybe the AFMC/A3 didn't hear right. Or maybe it was that AFRC didn't want to push that particular waiver ?? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Finance/DFAS Debt issue with no resolve
Herk Driver replied to rancormac's topic in General Discussion
They take other complaints. Not sure of the form but you can write it out on a bar napkin and they will take it. Don't take no for an answer. The website specifically says complaints of mismanagement. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -

Use the DOD IG if you go that route. Edit: also if you are writing your Congressman, don't write them and file an IG at the same time. Takes longer and they won't both look into it. Pick one and then wait for result then maybe do the other if still needed. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
What's wrong with the AF is getting sidelined on automation discussions... Back to your regularly scheduled topic. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I think most IMAs are non-flying. There are some that have API-6 waivers that allow them to fly. Those are the exception though. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Upcoming Boards
Herk Driver replied to Cameltactics's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Just dug up the info today. For the upcoming AFRC board, packages were due 28 April. There is a new AFRC UPT process guidebook that was published on 1 March 17. I will try to post it here later. It's on a sharepoint and I don't think the link will work.. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)
Herk Driver replied to SUX's topic in General Discussion
And you can file paperwork with your local TMO to extend it for a year...one year at a time. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -

CCs don't get a report but it is in your personnel data within PRDA, IIRC. They can tell who has or hasn't but they must look it up individually from what I remember . Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Upcoming Boards
Herk Driver replied to Cameltactics's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Soon AFRC will have a board every ~6 weeks or so. Not sure exactly when that starts but it has already been approved, from what I am told. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Should Michael Flynn lose his status as a 3-star general
Herk Driver replied to cantfly's topic in General Discussion
Didn't say it wasn't possible, only drawing a distinction between Flynn and Lichte due to their status at the time of their "misconduct." Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Should Michael Flynn lose his status as a 3-star general
Herk Driver replied to cantfly's topic in General Discussion
About things that "allegedly" happened while he was still on active duty. Not the case with Flynn, at least from what we know so far. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -

Finding a unit to sponsor you remains the same. Unsponsored applicants, in some circumstances, seems to have generated some unintended consequences. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
Upcoming Boards
Herk Driver replied to Cameltactics's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
There are no more unsponsored boards (my info is a couple of weeks old and subject to change). Also, maybe already mentioned but AFRC boards are going to be every 6 weeks or so...starting soon. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
$20T that doesn't need to be paid for on the backs of those that serve. How about entitlement reform across the board instead of singularly on the backs of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. When that occurs then come back and let's talk. FYI, you don't have to defend every terrible, short sighted policy that Congress tries to pass. If you picked your battles on here then more people might actually listen when it matters. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

No... Saw Tanker Toads explanation and he is correct. Changed to avoid further digression. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums -
You need JPME II to be promoted above O-6. I wouldn't sweat it unless you have those aspirations. There are some great jobs out there that you need JPME II to get but usually they will send you to school if needed. YMMV. ETA: this may be different for ARC guys looking for long term RPA/MPA jobs.

Yes because he has the authority to do so. It used to be in the JFTR not sure if still in the JTR. Over more than 20 years and 6 trips to an FTU I have seen the policy multiple times...stayed where I wanted, both lodging and not, and never gotten or seen anyone get paperwork. YMMV.

You should try to find Lt Smalley, I think it was, that wrote the letter to the CGOC at F.E. Warren suggesting that they not participate in a pub crawl in Ft. Collins or better yet the female from Ramstein that responded. That email made it around at the GO/FO level by the time it was done. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Quite possible... I would agree but... Ive seen quite a few that included every #1 or top 5%-ish strat in the record. When the first couple of lines are covered in those and they are all through the career and continuing higher level strats then most people get the picture trying to be painted. I would add that there has to be more including continued top tier job performance throughout that shows that the guy didn't quit along the way. Every ROP is different and every PRF has to tell that story. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

If that's the case he should probably use all of them. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
