Hire a passed over Major who doesn't give a shit and will tell you what he and everybody else thinks straight to your face.

So they matched you with one of your choices? Somebody in AFPC should get a promotion and a medal.

They're right - I think you're SOL.

Below is a sample of what they're looking for. The funny thing is that they're asking folks to be proactive and send it in early based in this general mass email (a specific email from finance will supposedly follow). I like how they say you can send it via email...but your 594 has to have a wet signature...huh? If you email, make sure you cc yourself for six months from now when finance fucks it up and loses it.

For anybody else who doesn't feel like downloading the pub and doing a word search, here you go:

Fuck everybody else. If that's what the two of you have decided, you are absolutely correct in holding onto it. If you haven't come up with a plan to use it by the time your kid is born, I would recommend transferring it to him/her, or at least by three years prior to when you plan on separating (three years is the ADSC you will incur by transferring).

The only point I would say is valid is training. The AOC in its current form didn't exist in Gulf War - having worked there for three years (to include Odyssey Dawn) I can say we are light years beyond where we were 25 years ago. Manning might suck on a daily basis, but when the shit hits the fan we pull resources from wherever we can. Sorry - when I said "decades" I didn't mean a half century ago, I'm talking about the Air Force in its mostly current state. Look at how quickly and efficiently we spun up for the Gulf War, ODF, OIF. It was rapid and efficient and we didn't give two shits about queep until things started to settle down.

Bullshit. A real shooting war would actually highlight our capabilities as an all around killing machine. We would shitcan queep and focus only on tactics. History has proven this decades ago as well as recent times. When bullets are flying, nobody gives two shits about reflective belts. Ops tested.

The best intimidation story ever used on the boyfriend of a daughter was told to me by my Sq/CC at SJAFB. His (at the time) 16 year old daughter had her boyfriend over for dinner and said Sq/CC began to tell the story of the 1961 Goldsboro B-52 crash wherein - as he told it - a BUFF full of nuclear weapons crashed in North Carolina and despite exhaustive efforts, they never found all of the weapons. Imagine a great story teller finishing this elaborate story over dinner and putting his fork down, then leaning in to the young man with eyes towards his daughter and saying, "If all those people with so many resources couldn't find nuclear weapons in North Carolina...what makes you think they would ever find you?" Sometimes you don't need a gun.

I actually looked at the NOTAMS for the field - not much there. Somebody in a different forum had mentioned that there was a "permanent NOTAM" for skydiver activity which isn't valid, but even if it was, that doesn't seem it would be beneficial to pilots or skydivers ("always be on the lookout" as opposed to watching out for specific time periods).

Okay - everybody is okay and I'm bored, so time to speculate on what the NTSB might find. This happened at South Lakeland airport, an uncontrolled grass strip with CTAF and home to Sky Dive Tampa. Not being a skydiver, it wouldn't seem smart to conduct operations to land on an uncontrolled strip, and the CFRs are pretty clear on how it needs to be accomplished. § 105.23 Parachute operations over or onto airports. So it seems like the only question is - was the skydiving authorized (and the pilot was either not made aware or not clearing), or not authorized (in which case the skydiver would seem to be at fault).

The news article said the pilot was 87 years old. I'm just sayin...

So close.

You sir, win the internet for the day.

Please. Despite your break in attendance here, surely you've been around long enough to recognize when I valid topic will degenerate into mud slinging and name calling. My post was neither.

Before this gets into a fatty vs fighter pissing contest, I will side with Hacker and C-21 pilot with a first hand example I saw. Fast burner in the KC-135 community got chosen for cross-flow circa 1999 and went to the Strike Eagle. He was considered one of the top tanker guys - the type of dude who would have gone to a tanker weapons school if they had it at the time. He was pretty much the poster boy for officership, but he couldn't fly his way out of a paper back in the Strike Eagle. I was his wingman on several horribly embarrassing deployed and exercise sorties. Nice enough guy, but he just could not keep up with the jet, and even with strong WSOs in his back seat, his black hole of SA in the much faster paced multi-role environment was completely detrimental to those around him.

Hilarious, but fake. If you look at a couple other videos from the guy who posted it, he does a bunch of fake news cut-ins.

I deleted and will continue to delete any posts regarding the recipient of my email. I'll take all the shit you want to sling at me, but he was a dumb cadet and he doesn't deserve any shit from anonymous dudes on the internet. If you want to harass him, email him directly....you can probably find him on the global.

It was a reference to the Friday shirt authorization.

I'll take that one. Ready? Here goes... You have got to be fucking shitting me. There are so many dissimilarities between what this idiot did and what I wrote that it's ridiculous. I'd be glad to spell them all out for you if you care to PM me, but the most important is that I told a cadet directly what everybody else was thinking and bitching about, and my email went "viral" before "viral" even existed. This idiot posted multiple "joking" images to social media accounts that directly contradicted the core function of her duties to properly respect and honor fallen military members. If you think those two are even remotely in the same ball park, you need some calibration.
