Yeah merry fucking Xmas from whoever put that one in

I’m sure retirement rules come into play there with sanctuary and stuff like that

8 is still less than 10.

Boy you’re sure a boomer. remember that the Navy only has 6 year pilot training commitment. They bone their aviators in different ways though to ensure “retention”

They sure as hell won’t be planning any Xmas parties or anything. ADO offices will have even saltier folks, haha

Wow. Fuck that shit.

You talking about that early bonus thing? Did anyone actually take it?

In the context of trying to figure out when someone will promote based on their line number before the increments are posted it is. If you’re 1207, you’re not going to have a line number on vmpf so it doesn’t matter.

Close enough for government work

Generally it is Sept 1. A friend counted the list of LAF-A, looks like 1201. I’d expect 100 per month Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to UPT with someone who did an AFIT masters… they are an astronaut now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It also affects me zero as well as I don’t have a masters and made o4 last year too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. I think part of it is that they can see retroactively who has masters and who doesn’t and they are pissed how many o4 selects don’t have it and they slugged through getting a check the box degree to be eligible to go to ACSC in-res just to get ANOTHER check the box degree and they are mad that the rest of us chose more time with family/primary duties than some Liberty University bs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. I’ve heard of commanders specifically citing that the airlines will just treat you like a number. Also had a commander who ran into a pilot that had recently separated and started flying for an air line a couple months before and was ragging him on how the airline life sucks despite the face he was just an o-5 with 0 airline experience Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re right, but I’m not sure why you care because I don’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know so few people in the 10-15 YG that are going to or have stayed in. I’m pretty sure I can count on one hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you get paid severance?

Nah. It was just tossed in there. No way it’s a placeholder for Whiting. The AF hasn’t sent a student there in over 7 years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s out of category Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s really the only management tool “Bust your ass and maybe you can get *insert desired assignment here*” “Do this to make sure you don’t close any doors” I quit that game years ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tell me more, I’m intrigued Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah you’re right. Idk I guess as someone who got a line number in the lowest 10% it was rich when my rater encouraged me to jump through a bunch of hoops and rack and stack all the IDE in-res programs when it would probably take an Avengers type blip for me to get selected. I chose to click the “I do not wish to be considered” button than waste hours of my life ranking these programs instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean the data is kind of already there. If you aren’t getting strats on oprs because you probably aren’t volunteering to do extra shit or writing 1206s for quarterlies. Because that’s what the board is probably looking at when making these lists. Additionally the PRFs all had an x/x for anyone in the top 95% to also give the board a real quick relative standing. And education wasn’t masked for wg/cc so you know everyone without a masters already was put lower than those who went and got it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah kinda strange. They don’t mask the line numbers for the Es so why do it here? And yeah everyone figures out when you’re pinning on in August that you probably aren’t the shiniest penny Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
