Perfect thread bump for today as we went and christened our new Hofbrau bierhaus at lunch. Some of the staff made the dirndls look even better. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Some uninformed state rep here pushed for and passed for Air Medal license plates. The great thing about them and why I got one is that they were free and permanent, never have to be renewed. The entire OG went and got them. They went back and amended the law and now you have to pay for them. Here's to being grandfathered in [emoji481] Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Rank is probably only a piece of it. Some of it is the current state of airline hiring. Part of it may be what the job entails. Hard to tell sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

If already AGR, it is likely to be a rank issue. If I'm looking for an opportunity for promotion, but my Wing doesn't have a position. I would have to go somewhere else if I want to get promoted. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

When I type AvB under ANG Officer in MyPers I get "no results found". Are you searching under Active Duty AF? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

After a few searches on MyPers today, I came up empty. Anyone have any luck finding the message or has it even been released yet? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Almost sounds like my loadmaster about 10 yrs ago. At least he registered the girls at the front desk. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Got my Rivots for 50% off with a code from Danner rep at a conference. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Best boot I've worn in 25 yrs. Wish I had switched to Danner's earlier. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

BNA is not an IQT option for anyone and never has been. But it is an MQT option. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I think it depends on the location. It seems like we are more AD like than we have ever been. But I think it's because the mission is 24/7/365. We try our damnedest to keep it like the Guard. It's still a "bar" to me, not a Heritage or Reconstitution Room. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

There's no set time, but try to think about what is worthwhile to the unit. Curtailment is not a massive process and it does happen regularly. Like I stated before, a coworker of mine did this about 1.5 yrs ago. I think nothing less of him for doing it. He improved his family's QOL and I would never fault anyone for doing that. I'm extremely happy for him and know that he is thoroughly enjoying his airline gig and is fully involved as a DSG. But we have also had folks in the past who continue to look at the unit as a lifeline that they can come and go anytime they like. It's just not conducive to a good work environment. I just look at it from the hiring authority's perspective and how time-consuming the job advertisement, interview, and paperwork process usually is. Once you fill an AGR position, it's almost like a sigh of relief since the process is complete and you have a valuable member to help with the workload. No one likes continually being in that process. I'll give you part of my pilot hiring spiel- you are looking to join my family and I want you to join my family. But I need you to understand the commitment required to join the family. As corny as it sounds, the unit is my 2nd family. I spend as much time with my coworkers as I do my wife and kids, so I want to like you. Please don't give me a reason to not. I feel like we are a close knit group, hell, I've known some of these folks for 25 yrs. We want you to be around as long as possible. Now, I'm talking about an ANG unit, which may be a little different. If you are interested in talking or discussing, feel free to DM me. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Personally, I think it's a shit bag move. You are totally using them and I would hope they see right thru it. I see it from your side as it getting you to where you want to be. But, I wouldn't hire you since you it doesn't benefit the unit. Now, my view may change if you were to hang around for a year or so. That way it would at least benefit the unit, as well as you. But, we all know you would be gone in the first chance you could. And I would never hire you back into the AGR position after you bailed. ETA: if the unit is offering you the AGR position after knowing you are planning on jumping, then I retract the above statements. That is on the unit and they get what they ask for.

5 sorties/month can easily be flown in 2-3 days, considering 2/day is the norm. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Any idea if there is a list of positions available? If so, where? Would likely be a good resource for someone seriously thinking about taking the leap of faith.

I thought the message said you couldn't get promoted if you returned. Is that specific to this message?
