  1. HPOs don't have to worry about lesser mortals
  2. So now since they have a signed non-continuation letter could they take the involuntarily separation pay now?
  3. Perfect he can go to a reserve unit, get a twice passed over waiver, and then be an airline pilot and keep his TR job.
  4. I got back my 4th of July since it was going to run till the 7th, no complaints from me.
  5. Interesting enough there still is the MilPDS code for dudes that enrolled in Phoenix aviator back in the day. Edit: A quick Google search says the meeting is on Thursday May 18.
  6. Do you have any details of the recent meeting? That article is from 1997.
  7. O/A-X is light attack/LAAR. A-X is A-10 replacement.
  8. Test Pilot PSDM dropped today on MyPers. Reserve and Guard pilots are allowed to apply. Make sure you search under Active Duty Officer.
  9. For perspective a T-6 costs ~$4.6M let's say an AT-6 costs $8M. A scorpion costs $20M. The AT-6 flight hour is $1K compared to $3K on the Scorpion. Not to mention a "mature" T-6 parts line. Essentially for every Scorpion produced 3 AT-6s could be bought and fielded. I don't see the Scorpion winning this. I assume the SNC A-29 has similar costs and it's line is open/being offered to FMS and we have qualified A-29 USAF IPs.
  10. Doesn't that fall under sanctuary?
  11. In case there are any young Zoomies, USAFA can't be on initial ADSC aka your first five years.
  12. Yea they do, they're called SERGRADs. (Selectively Retained Graduates)
  13. I think he is an actual GO. He may have been dox'd himself, which is probably why he stopped participating.
  14. 10 Taliban fighters kill 163 Afghan soldiers. Oh yeah, the security situation is improving, sign me up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/at-least-160-dead-after-taliban-attack-on-major-afghan-army-base-official-says/2017/04/22/239aa398-2750-11e7-a1b3-faff0034e2de_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_afghan-attacks-830am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.f12298bcb95d
  15. MyPers says that VLPADers will still compete for promotions on the Reserve Active Status List rather than the Active Duty List. You can't try to PV though, only mandatory boards.
  16. Copy, I was expanding on how far behind the times AETC is.
  17. They were approved in 2015 with Stratus II pucks
  18. Crossflow talk aside, I think it's weird a FAIP decided to make an account pretending to be the mouthpiece for every FAIP in the AF, past and present.
  19. Yes and the quality of student doesn't matter. Faces in spaces.
  20. Articles saying it's an MC-130
  21. I'm convinced Chang is a line flying Major that just loves to rile everyone up while sipping some 18 year single malt.
  22. I think Chang is a better troll account than scoobs. I wonder if multiple people participate in it.
  23. From the article: "The Air Force feels that implementing a stop-loss policy would cause pilots to flee the Air Force before the door closed, and they won't stick around to see if things improve. " This tells me the AF will hide stop loss till the last moment so no one can separate before. And I think Everhart was showing an unfiltered, unauthorized view into potential scenarios.
