  1. Vandy, I received mine a few weeks ago, no issues. My LES also told me the month prior that I was getting the payout too.
  2. Toxic leadership and uppity HPOs that don’t listen to direction/guidance and don’t know what followership means. Sounds like a slam dunk when it comes to getting rid of the wrong type of leaders.
  3. Is this in the F-16 community? In the F-15, all the CC’s are O-5s with about half of the DO’s as O-4s. Anecdotally, the talent pool has shrank from years past since a lot of folks are getting out, more than I remember as a Capt.
  4. I just ask my RA to do it and the Group Commander isn’t in my business as I run my squadron effectively in the manner in which I see fit. Pretty easy to negate the GTC issues.
  5. Maybe I’ve been shielded by being in the fighter squadron, but every TDY I’ve been on I’ve been in mission critical status before and after. The last deployment I took my squadron on, I made sure we wouldn’t have to deal with any GTC shenanigans and put all the FS folks mission critical. Is that not usual?
  6. The SIPR WSV of the intercepts and the collision are pretty amazing. Hopefully we declassify them ASAP to show that the Russians were lying when they said they didn’t hit the robot. Then again, it probably won’t matter…
  7. Very likely this. Officer discipline in 15th AF is held by the NAF. Likely the case in whatever NAF owns Minot.
  8. How many -9Xs? The answer is not near enough
  9. I’ve seen this 2-3 times in the Strike Eagle world.
  10. 11 Apr is the release date from the data I’ve seen.
  11. Yeah, that’s the issue. That hasn’t been figured out yet
  12. Latest hotness from the CAF is that garrison Wings will have Group commanders and an separate A-Staff while in garrison, starting this year during a phase in period. AEWs will dispense with Group/CCs this summer and will only have A-Staffs, thus will be much like MH circa 2019.
  13. 100% all of this. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Putin is merely building a Potemkin village for us to see.
  14. It’s part of the return to fly in ACC. Everyone has to do it, probably to make sure all is well before pulling G’s or flying in general.

    Agree. This was pretty ok
  16. Pawnman is correct, it was both.
  17. That clip was refreshing. Bravo
  18. @Steve Davies At RAFL we would typically fly with a 5000’ transition altitude to allow for unlimited maneuvers above and 1000’ hard deck to allow for low altitude strikers. Below 5000’ you are limited maneuvering, only able to turn 180 degrees after a merge. We combine that with IMC rules (limited pitch and bank) when transiting cloud layers.
  19. 65-70ish hours for 2 graduates that did their F-15E MQ-BFM sortie today.

    USAA

    I’ve had nothing but good things to say about Vanguard for all my investments. I moved everything from USAA about 4-5 years ago based on Vanguard’s low fee scheme compared to USAA. Highly recommend vanguard.
  21. Chuck, any idea if this applies to promotion to O-5 or O-6?
  22. We got the jackets at RAFL in 2016/17 and have had rank sewn on the entire time. Same as other bases I’ve seen, everyone has rank sewn on.
  23. Spatial D https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48578178
  24. The question I have is if she will be quietly retired in the next year or so. If AFSOC needs her to keep being the face of diversity and keeps her on then perhaps we’ve further lost our way.
  25. The real question is why would you want to fly on a single engine?
