there are only a handful of Mikes in the USAF inventory. And we have 21 Limas waiting in AMARG to be converted to Golfs. Only a select few will fly the HH-60U, by invitation only. My guess is everyone will train on the same platform at Kirtland and LMQT will become a little more robust for those minor differences between the Lima and Golf.

they already told you, they deal with the goddamn customers!

this SII is worded such that there might have been a willful disregard which then resulted in something not good happening. Sorry don't have the exact memo to post, it's loaded in PEX and I'm at home with no access outside a mil network.

does anyone know the background story to the 9 AF SII that was just released regarding checklist discipline/not deviating from checklists? I'm assuming there is more to the story...

still have to go through a recount for it to be official. ETA: Len beat me to it.

she's ahead by 133 votes with 200 left to potentially count (conditional provisional ballots requiring the voter to bring ID to the courthouse by 1700 tomorrow). Since the margin is less than 200 votes, there will be a recount.

you could put in an FOIA request to the AF Safety Center for HATR data related to controlled movement area violations.

McBlinky's lead has dwindled to 179 votes, with about 7,000 provisional votes left to process tomorrow in Pima County.

some pretty hilarious inaccuracies in that list, and definitely some missing data there.

that's the FY14 list (aka last year's list). I'm looking for the release of the FY15 list.

her lead has shrunk to less than 400. There are still 27k ballots to be counted (3k in Cochise County and 24k in Pima County). https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/AZ/53314/148279/Web01/en/summary.html

Well, still 50k votes to count. Her lead down to 1300 now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know when the CAF DO/COS and SQ/CC lists will be released? MyPers only has the PSDMs for FY14 posted that I can find Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She's up by 2100 votes now with all precincts reporting. That's the margin she lost by two years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Checked results this am, with McBlinky having a 40 vote lead over Barber with 75% reporting.

looks like McBlinky has made up some ground as some more districts report in. Not sure why reporting in District 2 is lagging so far behind the other districts...

oh that risk matrix was probably run decades ago, doubt anyone could find it now. You could press-to-test with an 847 if you wanted, but it would be YEARS before you'd see movement, since those changes would have to be coorded by all the MAJCOMs... ETA: and you'd probably have to have a working relationship with the individual who was re-writing that AFI or T.O. to even get the ball rolling. Doubt an 847 would make it past a MAJCOM staff to the OPR at the Air Staff.

it's a risk acceptance thing. The AF has decided which is the appropriate level to accept certain risks, and to what authority it can be delegated. It's not just "because", it's because at some point, someone at MAJCOM staff ran a risk matrix and decided what made sense for what level assumes/accepts a given risk. I can definitely say you won't have much headway on lowering that acceptance level, but you may have better luck requesting an update to the MEL (using your example).

except that the right one appears to be missing the inboard flap

Breckey, you will get issued MASSIF when you get to your unit. It's our standard cold WX gear. But yes, it will be nice for it to be fully legal (right now can only wear in the SQ and out to the flightline/in flight, but not around base. YMMV downrange.

anyone have a copy of the PMBOK Guide, 5th Edition in PDF form they can send my way? Or know where I can DL free?

actually, it's an important question, now that the new JTR rules are taking effect. If he's PCSing, and this is a TDY enroute, then he will also be received BAH from his previous duty station, and will therefore have more $$ to spend on a place.
