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

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

The unit I retired from has a 1 hr commute distance for crew, and it has nothing to do with DNIF coverage. It allows alert to be pulled at home. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I was Aeromedical Evacuation when I was enlisted a long time ago. When we had head injuries on board, we would request the lowest possible cabin altitude from the flight crew. BigRed is correct in that it has to do with intercranial pressures. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

It’s a definite shithole. One of the dirtiest places I have ever been. But it could be a great vacation place if anyone cared about it, especially the local population. I remember the amount of trash in the harbor back in 94. You could barely see the water. But the potential is there. I haven’t been there since the earthquakes, so I can only imagine that things have gotten worse. A total wasteland is what comes to mind when I think of Haiti.

I remember going there in 94 to oust Cedras and reinstall Aristide. My 4 month Haitian Vacation. Didn’t work out then. Not sure it would be any different now. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I was told by my rep that I had to wait until I was 6 months from retirement. So I did and had no problems getting it all done. I used someone that had retired from the unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
