I did a 2 year BAO stint in Sofia and loved it. I also kept flying but had to drop a few quals to maintain currency. Also met my wife there, luckily she’s an American. I always recommend the tour to folks. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

As a native Nashvillian, who loves the city, I am so happy I no longer live there. It is not the same city I grew up and lived in for so many years. It is overcrowded and no infrastructure to support the growth. We are in the same state but in a smaller city where I went to college and we love it. It still feels like it did in the early 90s when I was in school there. There has also been so many non natives Nashvillians that have moved in that the city has lost it’s friendliness that I grew up loving. I remember driving or walking thru the city or downtown and everyone spoke to each other or waved when passing. There really aren’t very many Nashvillians downtown unless they are going to a Titans or Predators game. When we had the opportunity to move, we were happy to do so. When we come back to visit, the City definitely has a different feel to it. My old neighborhood has been invaded by non Tennesseans that were not trying to leave the policies that everyone is speaking about, but moved because of their job or wanting to live in a city/state without an income tax. It created disagreements and the HOA webpage became very entertaining. I miss many of the people I grew up and worked with, but the city has gotten too metropolitan for us. Last month when we were there for a birthday party, my wife looked at me and we both agreed we were happy that we had moved. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

This is a very good question. I am also wondering what the answer may be, but I’m guessing it’s the loud voices. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

We did them every Tuesday and Wednesday at Ft Campbell, but usually a 2-ship. I miss the Herk. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

But add this to the other things the buffoons currently in charge and then it paints a very obvious picture to me. They are incompetent. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The hits keep coming with this administration. Have they done anything honest?! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The homeless in ANC are aggressive as well. Beware around the bus stop and Humpy’s. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I think Chang needs to reveal himself upon retirement. Until then, keep enjoying the guessing game. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m just curious how this administration will use this to conduct the next social experiment. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I also never had any desire to be an airline pilot. But when it came time to retire, I realized I had a skill set that the airlines wanted to pay pretty decent money to utilize. And it ain’t just about the money. My life is much happier now without all of the bs while I served. I had a great 29 years but I now realize that life is much better on the outside. I really love my retirement career. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I honestly think this is the main problem we are facing. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

When I was a SQ/CC, the WG/CC pressured us to put members who were overdue on their cards in a deployed status so the wing wouldn’t lose its cash from the cc company. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

During my RPA stint, I felt more like a system operator than a pilot. There were very few times I felt like I was piloting something. It made me miss the hell out of manned flying which I eventually returned to. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I don’t know, that’s giving them lots of credit. Most non flyers have no idea what plane is flown at their base. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Sounds like income discrimination to me Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

^^^ Excellent advice! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Mainly in jest but it did feel like they wanted us to look over here while something over there is happening. Kinda like a magician using slight of hand. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Be unique if you want. Maybe something local or well known, but don’t get something cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I should have stated that it was a tanker unit without a true alert facility. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Keep the tradition alive and bring one. Give it to the person that greets/hosts you when you get there. Keep it simple. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I never heard any real discussions on “DNIF coverage” over my 29 yrs in the ANG. If someone went DNIF, someone else would, as you said, fill in or a canx. Of the 3 units I was in, only 1 had a commute distance requirement and that was due to the alert mission. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

There will be more when a distraction is needed. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
