  1. The name Operation Extended Warranty or OEW for short has been thrown around downrange for lack of an official name
  2. And you earn leave while on leave so you'll potentially have a few more days as well
  3. Maybe DA20Katana154 would be more accurate for now
  4. Four cheers?
  5. Did anyone else notice something wrong in the AF Times article: https://www.airforcet...-George-Bud-Day
  6. According to the news the track was about 3/4mi from the path of the '99 Tornado, it went through the center of Moore near the Warren Theatre and lifted just west of Lake Stanley Draper.
  7. Pretty sure Phaero is iOS only unfortunately
  8. Realize as an ABM you'll frequently be sitting backwards or sideways in the back of a hot jet with no windows getting bounced around during an hour or two of Transition (landings) at a time
  9. Odium

    Shields are specifically excluded by this rebate
  10. I have looked up the requirements and know they say you need to be selected for Capt which is why I asked the question. I'll be waiting to PCS to the FTU so I'm just killing time and figured I could waste the time on queepy SOS work now and have more free time for beer and the vault later.
  11. I'm looking at some downtime in the near future awaiting training dates and would prefer to take the current version of SOS: can a newly promoted 1st Lt enroll and get away with knocking out SOS-C now?
  12. The first rule of U-28 is that you don't talk about U-28...
  13. If being a pilot is all you want to do with your life and aren't giving any consideration to actually using your degree down the road: Do what ever you think you'll get a higher GPA in.
  14. The back gate opens at 0500 during the week
  15. They've broken ground on them and construction is underway at the moment but I have no idea what the estimated completion/occupancy date is currently
  16. I can almost 100% guarantee you that you're not going to get approval for TA during UCT. Some weeks might be easier than others, but there will be days you get pushed out the door to avoid breaking crew rest at the 12 hr mark so you're looking at a 15-18hr day easy. You have one chance to make it through UFT - why make it more difficult than it already is and increase your chances of washing out?
  17. It's easy to say students should pick an AC based on the mission - but how are students supposed to have SA on what the mission is actually like besides limited interaction with members of that community instructing?
  18. Don't recall exact numbers but ballpark: 6+ RC-135s 4 F-15Es 1 AD C-130 1 MC-130 4+ B-52s 2 KC-135s 1 U-28 1 JSTARS 1 E-3 Hopefully someone else has a more official tally!
  19. I'll agree this is effectively true for 99% of the masses who have no common sense but loans CAN be leveraged into building wealth if someone has a responsible and practical plan along with taking the effort to become financially educated. If it was easy, everyone would do it...
  20. A month and a half of per diem partying every night wasn't too bad (Except as a case of Air Force F,W&A) as a brand new Lt though...
  21. Interest ranges have fluctuated between 2% and 5% over the past few years
  22. I bet a tab morale patch FOD'ed out the engine - I knew they were banned for a good reason!
  23. The actual CSO program runs about 11 months so adding in time for IFS and water survival plus casual time between everything waiting to start you're easily looking at a year and a few months in Pensacola.
  24. There is no such thing as the Strike Nav path anymore, the new consolidated CSO training school down at P'cola has drops just like UPT. Unless you're Guard/Reserve going in, you have a competitive shot at dropping anything the AF has CSOs on (Assuming you pass the FACT). General SA: Suck it up (STS) and roll with it, I don't think proactively dropping a Pilot slot because you're afraid you won't get T-38s or can't go to ENJJPT is going to win you many friends. A lot of people go into UPT wanting a T-38 and end up not wanting them by the end of Phase II. Same token, you can go to CSO school, ace the program and still not get F-15Es if you happen to have a class drop that doesn't have any. Good luck
