  1. The link is to a myPers page listing recent select lists. The one you're looking for will be posted to MyPers on 11 Feb 15. Pdf Line numbers will eventually get input into vMPF under Record Review --> Promotion Information. Perhaps the local units will get to see this information too.
  2. Comparison was made in USD so you could get through the fruit aisle. CSB is obsolete. It has remained the same value since introduction, while the cost has increased. Consider this: 6 year flight pay has been the same since about 1991. Since then base pay has doubled.
  3. In 2000, E-6 base pay was $2277. By 2020, O-4 base pay might be $8000.
  4. ARINC. Awesome tidbit about the NGA's intransigence.
  5. I'd be more concerned about the crap-tastic passenger configuration on the kc-46 that specifies an AGTL, or the Boeing flight manuals.
  6. Is "I got him on the fish finder" the only option for rpa's? What is this "approved sense and avoid system" mentioned?
  7. 6,000 mile screwdriver with a Q3 tip
  8. Sure thing. Say hi to the 9-5'ers for me. (deny deny deny counter-accuse)
  9. Nice accusation of CGO's. Looking higher, the active AF runs officers through in 1 or 2 year stints. Sure, poor performers are functionally pushed along by the machine, but same for the good ones.
  10. A job that can be done while drunk or asleep is a waste. Or gross exaggeration.
  11. Waste? Change of command, at any level. With little exception, every person takes the helm and steers in a slightly different direction. More broadly on squadron jobs and additional duties: If the job move isn't a promotion, it shouldn't happen at all.
  12. 2) The SC cop will likely get a few months time served + some bad publicity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/09/26/a-sort-of-defense-of-south-carolina-state-trooper-sean-groubert/ 3) Waiting on this one https://www.news-journal.com/panola/news/opelika-police-refuse-to-release-video-of-officer-shooting-beckville/article_a7bb23ed-f29e-5ec5-8135-6f6c7bf7ab3f.html --"policestateusa.com" ? c'mon. 4) Context. Be relevant. Oregon open carry is not a counter-example to the SC shooting. Also, do not contradict yourself with the "but..." or "that being said" or "all I'm saying is". Communicate a single direct point. Sometimes, there is no definite line in the sand and both sides can be presented. This shooting isn't one of those cases. A reasonable act was met with unreasonable force.
  13. "I agree with what you're saying, but..." Discuss the context of the situation. Don't grab the mic and say: "I'm gonna let you finish, but..." and show a black guy in Oregon shoot at a trooper. In the context of SC, you've come to the aid of a trigger happy black-fearing trooper. Times are changing. Yesterday, this action would have been administrative leave. Today, it is unpaid jail time with an uncertain future. That's the point. To make sure I don't get shot by sub-par cops... is your point, because you'd like to downplay what is happening in the USA right now.
  14. "but it was sudden and just exactly how was the officer suppose to know he was going for his license and not a weapon?" "Can I see your license please..."-reaches for wallet, oops not in pocket, turns around to center console "GET OUT OF THE CAR!" -gets out of car shoot -gets shot He actually PUT HIS HANDS INTO THE AIR to avoid taking any more bullets, but the cop fired one more time. WTF.
