What do you mean? The A-10 never had a flight engineer to begin with. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Which is it? Free or Managed? If it's managed, then it's not totally free. Brought to you by the same grasp of language as those who can't quite understand the definition of "infringed"...

This makes no logical sense whatsoever, but could have been used as an excuse to have far better PT wear than the craptastic shit we have now. Therefore: valid!

...meanwhile, in the Air force...

What the actual fuck? I'm thinking it's a pet, and this is a Steve Irwin wannabe spoof.

This should be completely unsurprising to you. Another example: The AF maintains a full det at NAS Pensacola for water survival. Lets repeat that: the AIR FORCE maintains it's own det, including personel, equipment, and bo-ats, on a UNITED STATES NAVY installation, for the purpose of running its own WATER SURVIVAL school. Having gotten to live the perspective of two military branches, I can honestly say that epic AF hubris will never disappoint.

And their cranks got chopped, as it were. Unfortunately, as you or any flyer knows, "just doing your job" in the flying community isn't as simple as just being let back in the office. It also requires the trust of your chain of command. I applaud these guys for what they did--I think that it made a difference. But if they no longer have the trust of their commanders, then not flying isn't actually punitive, no matter how much you want to fly. Kind of like you can't get disciplined as a result of a safety investigation, but a commander directed Q3 isn't punitive, and often follows safety investigations.

Stop the madness!!! Suggestion: only serving commanders, SQ/CC and above, should have assigned parking spots. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Once they know how many apply, they can assess and make a decision.

Yeah, THIS was definately the milestone I thought they'd make. They seemed really cereal this time.

LOC, LOR,...LOA? This sounds not good, but what is this one? Admonishment?

I get it; screening thousands of applicants is tough work. But some discriminators should just jump off of the application.

WTF? I will admit that I was once on a hard core sugar free Monster habit (FS scheduler). But I had no misconceptions: they tasted like shit.

That's an about face from a couple of years ago when they didn't care if you had your CFI/ATP--you were still going to IFS.

Here's a new twist to an age-old problem: vicinity mileage around a TDY-enroute location with a non-a. -Complicating the issue, I took my 10 days permissive after departing my loosing station, but before arriving at my TDY location. This led to my initial claim of vicinity mileage (24 miles round trip x 64 duty days) being denied, as Ellsworth thought that I was trying to claim my permissive mileage. -Ok; refile. [You don't have vicinity mileage authorized on your orders.] Amendment generated. -Ok; refile. Now they replied that I need to fill out a SF1164. With 64 duty days, that will actually take about 5 of them to cover the period. Question: is this just a haze to get me to give up? I've claimed vicinity mileage plenty of times in the past, especially with a non-a. Never heard of this form. What gives?

Glad they are both ok. Didn't appear to drag a wing, so the spar should still be good. Hopefully that 140 didn't take more damage than a bent firewall, and can be repaired.

We are short of experienced 11F's. Fighters create experienced 11F's. The cheapest jets create that experience for the least cost. Stop driving our lowest cost fighters to the boneyard. One idea, anyway.

I would second that, but someone already beat me to it. It really blows my mind that so many actually do take the bonus. I knew one guy that couldn't catch a break when it came to assignments. Then he passed on the bonus, and started sinking three pointers every vml.
