AFAIK, no plans to increase # of tails at ILG. E-mail was sent out to wing personnel in early June about the associate wing concept being stood up. Based on RUMINT, AD will do all of their medical/dental/MPF/finance/etc at Dover and a detachment-like operation will reside at ILG. Plan calls for interflying between AD and ANG.

Aurora Colorado Police Scanner audio as the first calls go out for the theater shooting on July 20, 2012:

Rumor has it that an AD detachment will be standing up at New Castle County Airport (Delaware) with the ANG 130s in the next few months...
-
That is certainly one way to potentially spend a few more days in sunny Tampa...

I wonder if Gen Welsh reads BO.net. He has several seemingly easy suggestions that really could improve morale on day #1 (reference Romney "Day 1" ads). If any of you are one of his execs at USAFE, maybe an e-mail addressed to him with this thread's link might be just what the doctor ordered before he gets on a plane to head to DC to take over.

Saw that the plane was from 145 AW (Charlotte guard); no mention of where the crewmembers were from.
-
Still no mention of this on airforcetimes.com.

I believe it. So, when does this story make it to www.af.mil?

Not sure if this is the best place to put this... Wolfenbarger receives fourth star, assumes leadership of AFMC https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123304906 Her af.mil bio is already updated with her 4-star picture--they didn't waste any time.

Another First: First Latina to graduate from UPT
BattleRattle replied to BattleRattle's topic in General Discussion
The article doesn't specifically mention what year she graduated from UPT, but considering she has already retired as a Lt Col and has over 11,000+ commercial hours, it happened a while ago. -
https://latino.foxnews.com/latino/community/2012/05/28/our-american-dream-meet-first-latina-us-military-pilot/. Granted, this occurred awhile ago, but it was on FoxNews.com today; it seemed to fit with the trend of recent firsts getting mentioned in the press.

In a few month/years, I suspect those guys will be credited with saving some lives...

I don't know all of the details, but it seems like he got what was coming to him.

The million dollar question now is when will TIB be cut. -

Have the name of the pilot been released yet?
-
Has the Air Force gotten anything right recently?
-
And the hits just keep on coming: VSP/RIF debacle, F-22 accident investigation, uniform shenanigans, E-9s running wild, new slogan, port mortuary, ransacking of the ANG, transfer case photo--is this just a bad dream?
-
I'm reaching out to see if any ANG officers have recently gone through the position vacancy process for promotion to major. If you have (or are currently going through the process), please PM me.

Turns out the folks in the sheep-beating video may be Air Force folks: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/26/air-force-probes-web-video-showing-sheep-beating/?test=latestnews And the hits just keep on coming...

On the MilitaryTimes.com forum, the writer of post #214 suggests that the CCM wishes he could have that (first) e-mail back--truer words never spoken.

I guess you have to find a way to stay relevant...
