Swizzle

Questions in response to your question, because this isn't the right medium for specific answers. A cliché GI Joe quote is, "knowledge is half the battle!" This case being knowledge of test processes. But what is other half, actual execution thereof??? And, does test know and employ the way test is regulated and supposed to test? Do our Senior Leaders truly understand test? Are we structured in this period of adapt or lose to test fast enough? What is the limiting factor? Do we need more tests, which I akin to fun play and learning? A metaphor that comes to mind lately is that the Service's aim is correct, but the "organizational-ballistics", being misunderstood, lead to a target miss. The miss we all talk about and loathe - 'they can't get it right'. For whatever the reasons, some being wrong "powder", wrong "grain- weight", wrong "barrell", wrong "twist", and wrong "metallurgy" but good optics on the right target. So does the shooter see the miss? If yes, are they being honest with themselves? Do they fix the whole system to bulleyes' at 100, 500 or 1,000 yds or just move the target to pistol-whip distance and then PCS calling it a win (KC-46, F-35, MyTravel, MyFSS/Eval...etc, etc) Also - Anyone who truly, wholy understands the implications of these three words must brilliant - organize, train, equip. Those military leaders who properly understand and execute those three to fruition must've been epic.

...To find, a frozen pair of testes

Don't play their game, seperate to airline instead, or if you do-do it better...free agency, or maybe Guard or Reserve?? Active Duty Rated force is crumbling and buyers market is upon the rated pilot with free agency. For Big Blue: work with people without contracts, second order affects will follow accordingly. Oh, and make your acquisitions and test process better (i.e. equipped, manned, and informed) in order to be more responsive to rated forces/MWS inputs, needs, wants, and dreams. People want to do cool, shit hot missions..with today's tech

So veal?

Seems legit...

Huh, wonder if their 'sub' will implode killing that type of thinking 🤔 , or maybe go down with the ship? ...can't believe he floated that idea!

IRR isn't retired status correct? IRR vs Retired Reserve, yeah? And are the Selected Reserve those chosen units? ....and is this where the unforeseen rise in the personnel budget to go? (No says my experience because that'd require AFPC to substantially plan and coordinate then act)

Haven't you heard, it's an AF rated staff shortage = no insider to complete the FAA TPS report, or TPS coversheet, or TPS coverpage, you get the idea (in triplicate, the goldenrod one being most important). And! Amn Snuffy is too busy processing pilots' separation paperwork vs. FAA nonsense. Sidenote: checkout the abysmal pilot retention metric this FY - ouch. Probably about to get worse after personnel $ SNAFU.

Notice the cryptic, scare tactic of while $ lasts one can re-contract that being when, IF, it returns, but all under the overarching context of the notification that the personnel budget just ran out of $ under their management. It drips with conflict. ...but AF/AFPC won't share how much or how many contracts potential slots remain. I don't know if AvB is in a separate pot/color of $ which is isolated. Is the medical professionals bonus $ separate?

PAUSEX, PAUSEX, PAUSEX... Tactical Pause... Timeout...

I just couldn't let it slide. I stopped short of answering all the other baiting-posts Chang made today...

Somethings are just inhumane

How ignorant and souless your viewpoint is...while you're at it just eliminate all programs which virtue-signal people's value and importance. Not saying don't produce as much as you can, but it's a balance AND relationship with the workforce. Under your imperative, just burn all programs down which support retention, so that's adios to what - CDCs, MWR, MFLC, heck why not Doctors. And, oh yeah, how do you like your droid'icas? And how is the darkside of force treating ya? ...people aren't disposable commodities

Reminder: it comes at more than a financial cost. Other countries are watching, learning, gathering intel...'there is no free lunch.' Considering that...still worth it.

Good article, but year-over-year change vs. precipitous month or week-over-week change. Consumer reaction time was very different.

So is 'penis' now 'joystick'?!

Truth, and timing matters...but it's ultimately driven by inflation, check that # to assess potential COLA change

Not for those 5 who made it or didn't depending upon the real #...just sayin'

When it comes, stop-loss gonna' get ugly...quickly, because that button will get pressed when an option if in present rated status. Then the next 'intellectual' round begins. Stay frosty friends.

Ha, legit backdoor...silly AF, just be transparent and show progression like a Dominoes pizza tracker. Everyone knows there exist many steps, would it be so bad to share their progression through them?
