Yes. I know of at least one currently; she was a FAIP when I was a student in 38s.

Talked to my OG/CC yesterday; he said to expect 2-3 weeks still. He said the reason was they were delaying finishing the process until after the DV board.

Guessing that these were 2 slots for the July TX course? Anyone from a CAF base seen assignments yet?

Getting a "system error" from the COP when I click on the link. Anyone have updated info or links?

Well...it was supposed to be out today, but I'm still not seeing anything. Anyone else?

What can I say...the flying is good at the LTTR!

I think it's just blacked out nametags. Could be wrong though.

Thread revival--guess who the new wing king at Hill AFB is? Have to admit now though, I was at Bagram at the time this was written and didn't see or hear about any of the above behavior (and since he was flying with my squadron, I saw him alot).

Its on the new https://gum.afpc.randolph.af.mil/ page. I found it a couple of days ago. Of course, the webpage is down right now (or at least it is from my house), so I can't give you a PAR. It's basically "OFFICER", "ASSIGNMENTS" "11X" and then look for it from there. It wasn't out as of Thursday evening.

I think at least the last chick gets why the guys like hearing their voices.

Standing by for a herbivore to file a hurt feelings report in 3.....2.......1........

I second the motion.

More like note to self, turn off tapes.

Anyone on here from or heard from Misawa?

Not an EP, but I was a chief of Stan-Eval in the Viper and did a little time giving checkrides in white jet world. My personal take...if the error was so minor that he had to look it up to even see if it was a downgrade, then it probably wasn't worthy of being a hit in the first place. Either that, or you just had an EP not worth his salt. If you (as an EP) have questions about that, you should look them up and be prepared BEFORE you start the debrief.

Isn't this why we went to the ABUs in the first place? https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123240205 1/27/2011 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Airmen deploying to Afghanistan in 2011 will see a new uniform issued to them as part of their deployment gear beginning in March. While Airmen have been faced with a slew of uniform changes in recent years, this new uniform is not a matter of image or heritage but instead has resulted from a joint initiative that ensures all outside-the-wire deployers in Afghanistan, regardless of branch of service, have the best ground combat uniform in order to enhance combat effectiveness. According to Lt. Col. Shawna McGowan, the Air Force future programs branch chief, Air Force leaders collaborated with Army experts to develop a solution to meet evolving camouflage and fire-retardancy demands in theater. The new uniform, called the Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern, or OCP, is the same uniform recently fielded in Afghanistan to U.S. Soldiers, Colonel McGowan said. "At first, Airmen receiving the (Airman Battle System-Ground, or ABS-G) uniforms with mission responsibilities outside the wire in Afghanistan will have priority for the OCP." But the plan is for the OCP uniform to eventually become the only ground-combat uniform worn by Airmen in Afghanistan both inside and outside the wire, she said. This also will minimize the number of bags Airmen will carry into and out of the theater. "The OCP uniform is scientifically developed to blend in with Afghanistan's terrain, which will make our Airmen safer and more effective on the battlefield," she said. "The new material is also flame resistant and lighter weight than either the ABS-G or the (Airman Battle Uniforms, or ABUs)." The material also contains a bug repellant to protect our deployed Airmen, she added. And, the colonel said, not only is this uniform better than its predecessors, but working jointly with the Army to use a tested uniform is the fiscally responsible thing to do. "It's not only a joint use of the best ground combat uniform available," Colonel McGowan said, "it saves fiscal resources and also aligns with the National Defense Authorization Act language that encourages collaborative efforts between the services." Since the OCP is replacing the other uniforms, there also will be a savings that will come from not needing to store and supply both the ABS-G and ABU, she said. This won't be the first time Airmen have worn this camouflage pattern in Afghanistan though. "Some Air Force personnel who are assigned to Army units were already issued the OCPs in the Army fielding initiative that began in August," said Colonel McGowan, who restated that these uniforms will be issued to individuals, and they won't be covered out-of-pocket by Airmen. Individual units won't even be authorized to purchase these uniforms for the foreseeable future, the colonel said. "The only authorized OCP uniforms are those purchased and issued by Air Force Central Command," Colonel McGowan said. "While some units are interested in procuring the OCP for training, future deployments and such, they won't be authorized to do so because those orders would take away from supplies that are prioritized for the most at-risk deployers." The colonel emphasized that patience and teamwork are critical during any individual equipment transition and while actions to field the OCP as quickly as possible are ongoing, Airmen should be reassured they will have them as soon as they can be fielded. She also discouraged individuals from purchasing their own uniforms as that could result in them receiving non-tested, non-compliant uniforms that ultimately could put lives at risk. With any new uniform, 'knock-offs' are readily available and Airmen need to use sound judgment and not spend personal funds on potentially non-compliant OCP assets, she said. "Essentially, any unauthorized purchase of the OCP uniforms could result in putting Airmen at risk either on the front lines or at home," the colonel said. She said switching to the OCP and having AFCENT as the sole issue point for these uniforms will meet the ultimate goal of ensuring that Airmen are equipped with the best, most advanced uniform available today.

A whole briefing guide just for formations? Man.....it's a different world in herbivores. Formation are standard IAW 3-3. Questions?

W-2s are out. Also, militaryonesource.com again has the link to free H&R Block online software. Taxes....done!

Closest thread I could find.... Trying to logon to DTS and keep getting "PC LOAD LETTER." or something like this: "Login Error There has been a problem with login Your user account could not be found or is locked, or your certificate has been revoked. Please contact your local Registration Authority (LRA) or Verifying Official (VO) to obtain a new PKI certificate or to find additional information." Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I tried the fixes the site suggests. I've been on hold for 45 minutes trying to get someome to answer; they won't. The DTS reps on my squadron are worthless. I've always been a fan of DTS....until now.

Yup. Sorry, that was worded poorly. Basically they're trying to charge me the same sales tax as if I had purchased the car new in their state. Just trying to see if I can pay either less or nothing since its not new or if I can use the military card.

I thought there was another thread in the past about this, but I can't find it so I'll add it here. Has anyone purchased a vehicle overseas and then imported it back to the States when you PCSed home? Trying to figure out if there are any States that have minimal/import taxes if you owned and drove the vehicle overseas. I've seen anywhere between 3% & 6% fee so far...just trying to see if there's anything better out there.
