It's ALFA:
ALO
LIFT (Lead in Fighter Training, now call IFF)
FAC (for anyone that doesn't know what FAC stands for, choke yourself!)
ATC (Air Training Command, now AETC)
Are you saying that Senior Leaders don't consult?
Every exercise I played in on the ROK (every other month), the CFACC had a Senior Mentor, a retired old guy who had "been there and done that" by sitting in that same chair 6-9 days ago.
I know, because I briefed the two of them, every single day during the MAAP brief.
The active duty guy is most definetly the one that has to make the decision, but if you don't think they are consulting retired guys, you are smoking crack!
