    Glad to hear the leather jacket isn’t getting killed but truth be told that Massif jacket is the most comfortable uniform jacket I’ve ever had.
  2. Champ Kind
    I say just wear it.

    It's one thing to be an aviator and being able to read reports/see videos after a mishap and then have the ability to learn from it, mourn the loss, and compartmentalize it. I didn't know anyone on that plane, but I wouldn't want my wife/kids to see that video.

    This guy staffs.

    Troll is gone and posts are cleaned up. Back to a useful discussion about the flawless promotion system in the AF.....

    None have been delivered yet.

    Gotcha. Makes sense.

    Were you APZ to O-5?

    Did you slide down the pole to the bat cave when you got the call?

    No doubt about that. But those turned down courses don’t immediately equate to separations. I wasn’t even halfway done with my UPT commitment when I went to IP school. It’s not like those all of those dudes said no to IPQ/PIT/whatever and then immediately punched. No argument that the AF probably lost out on some people due to requal though.

    There wasn’t enough time between that AFI change breaking and it getting fixed to put more of a dent in the AF’s pilot retention problem. I think that change same about because of the quick backlash on social media.

    Valid point. Minimal. But even in a relatively small sample size such as a single squadron, it is still better than nothing.
  13. Champ Kind
    Sorry to bust your bubble, but you aren’t changing much of anything if you don’t get promoted.

    I’ve seen a lot of ABMs filling what I’d assume are typically 11/12X billets in NAF/AOC/MAJCOM staffs.

    When they give you a dumb answer, make sure you mention AD is sitting fat on pilots and bonus take rates are through the roof.
  16. Champ Kind
    Why?

    The fighter TOLD experts coming up on the net is approaching the entertainment of the amateur civil engineers in the Tyndall hurricane thread. Is this really adding value to the post-AIB discussion?

    And even more obvious right there on the DQHB: a line in your duty history.

    No dog in this internet slap fight, but this made me laugh. Thanks for that! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    Your core AFSC should still reflect that you’re rated. You can find it on your SURF.
  21. Champ Kind
    If the promotion rates stay the same, does this really help? Strats might be history, but you’re still left with the same problem of differentiating between the records of the middle ~60%.
  22. Champ Kind
    Speculation?

    I’ve never understood military members’ infatuation with buying brand new and expensive vehicles on the basis of having a consistent paycheck. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

    Hopefully someone bothered to look at the feasibility of adding AR requirements to IFF. I hear our tanker force is quite robust with lots of availability on their hands.

    I remember switching from black boots and black T-shirts to sand T-shirts and green boots looked off in the flightsuit when the transition was going on. Brown boots and tan T-shirts will take some getting used to as well. Anything will look better than those green boots, though. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
