That dude looks like he needs to cut back on the jelly donuts.

I don't know if it applies to this situation... but during my AF career, I observed that dealing with our own internal organizations was incredibly painful and bureaucratic... and the results often didn't meet the expected outcome. In so many cases, it was better to go with an outside source.

Last Reno Air Races start today. Weather looks great and it will be packed.

And what was that?

That's a quotable quote. 👍

I have no idea how this works... but my friends that seem savvy like you say just the opposite about newest rates. FWIW, I hope you are right and they are wrong.

I wrote their "newspaper" editors. No reply.

Opinion: Does Age 67 have anything to do with it?

They are offering incentives for 167 senior pilots to leave by November. That's about 4.9% of their 3,401 pilots. Not insignificant.

So... UPS voluntary RIF?

Well... so much for my reading comprehension. Thanks for the map link! 😁

It's San Fran: Had he not been ex-military, he would have been released... and charges dropped within 72 hours of getting to DA's office.

Friday night, Beale had a Skillet, Hoobastank and Dirty Hooks concert on the flightline. Skillet was headliner and the performance, lights, stage effect, etc... was fantastic. They told me they were going to Travis (last night), Vanderburg, Edwards, Cannon, Dyess, and Laughlin. I don't think the word got out like it should have... but if you're at any of those bases, don't miss it. Great show! They apparently enjoy doing these military tours. Cory B, who has well over 1,000 U-2 sorties, landed while I was running the band around Friday afternoon, and we got a good shot with him and them.

Cowards.

I've worn mine 3 times in the past 12 months. UPT Graduation, formal military banquet, wedding (saber line). Re: Brabus' comment on scarves... when the "no morale shirt" guidance came out a few months ago, a number of us dug through our stuff and found our old scarves. The pilots quit wearing them after 9/11, but a number of us continue to wear them again. And some of the newer pilots seem to be joining in.

Guilty. For example, I'll never buy a "steak" from the commissary.

That's a level of detail that I don't have.

Sort of. AFPC is still waiting for OPM to finalize a decision. If they elect to approve it, the advertising and selection process will begin again. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until 2024.

On their official webpage, the Wing CC is listed after the senior enlisted advisor. Unusual.

... the dating platform "Plenty of Fish"... YGBSM. Sounds like these two were made for each other.

Not exactly. His wife survived the attack. The woman that ran up to help out didn't survive.

It's very popular on social media! Bummer I was DNIF and missed it this year. I won't make that mistake in 2024.

Probably should let it play out, like most mishaps. The T-6 loss affected a number of us. Devyn was awesome.
