Why not? You bang enlisted chicks, then do your best to make sure no one finds out! edit: Might not be exactly what Rainman is talking about..

That's a new rumor! I've only heard the one about the ANG pushing for Super Hornets...

Completely, 100%, unsubstantiated rumor
Good example is the A-7! It clung to life in the Guard for quite a while before being sent to the boneyard! I think even the RTU and Weapons School(?) were all Guard. The B-1 was taken from the Guard back to AD, although the B-1 was never exclusively an ANG asset. But that is proof that the AD owns the Iron. That program should be toast! Total POS! The Block 30s are quickly approaching their drop dead date. The 40s/50s will cling to life for as long as it takes to get the 35s up and running on AD. Last rumor was as far out as 2030 for the Block 40s...longer for the 50s. Rainman, you of all people, should know that those charts can change rather quickly. What was the original date that the Hogs were supposed to be done?

The same reason they pour millions into base renovations and then shut that base down the following year...

Problem is, they won't have enough fighter pilots to fly them, and staff all the other taskings...RPA, MC-12, ALO, staff, etc.

Yes they do.

I should caveat my last post with the following... If you're a Guard guy and not keeping your resume up-to-date/pinging your contacts from time to time, you're probably fu#king up!

Crap, you had me worried for a few seconds. But then I realized it's not a big deal, since the world is ending in 2012 anyway...

RSU comments
Really? I can see them asking for your FTU paperwork (which was all I was asked for). I can't imagine our training shop caring to much about what some FAIP thought of my carrier qual. landings, in the tweet...

Viper incident at Oshkosh.
From talking with a friend (non-mil type) that saw it happen, it sounds as if he was chased through the landing...might be more to the story. Who knows what happened, i'm sure we'll be able to read all about it in our safety shops. Glad to hear the pilot is OK.

Viper incident at Oshkosh.
Haha! Yup...

Boss, I quit...
Hah! I wouldn't throw your Friday (err Thursday, depending on your squadrons work week) shirts away just yet! These adjustments take time in the ANG. Hell, I have yet to even see a tan shirt.

ANG/AFRC Hiring Freeze
Does the squadron you're going to have an Alert det? Might be able to bridge the gap with some ADOS days. Last I heard, Fresno was looking for some help...

Haven't heard that, but we at the squadron level are usually the last to know!

Why not four or five!

Good military/aviation books
***Thread Revival*** Awesome read! A great story of a German born American who becomes a Naval Aviator. Dude gets shot down in Laos, is taken prisoner by the Pathet Lao and subsequently escapes (++++ style points on his escape)...a true warrior! This would be a gook book to add to the survival reading list. Plus it has stories of the A-1, which IMHO, is worth the read!

It's NOT ok to pose like a homo! If this guys squadron has a good LPA, this will be plastered all over with plenty of room for quotes!
