  1. Not False. You do need more land based ICBMs than the other guy. We would never launch a nuclear attack on another country until we were "struck" first, not launched on, struck. Therefore, since silo based ICBMs are a "one for one" swap; if the other country intends to destroy your nuclear capability, you need more than they have.
  2. . I am sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that these are nuclear tipped ballistic missiles and you might want to have a hard wired connection to them to prevent jamming or hacking. Just a thought
  3. Yes, but I have discovered there is more than 1 Pre-Check line at SEA and they are not all equal. If you have TSA Pre-Check on your boarding pass (BTW, this is up to the airline to do, not TSA) you can go to any Pre-Check line. If you do not have it on your boarding pass you can only go to the Check Point 2 Pre-Check line. That is the only one that has the scanner for the CAC. All of you bitching about this not being a perfect syatem are barking up the wrong tree. It is an airline issue, not TSA. But don't worry, the airlines will get this all fixed very soon since they are in a hiring boom.
  4. I heard a rumor is was going to High-30.
  5. Because they wrote more than that to help their chances.... "I am requesting to separate under the Voluntary Separation Pay (VSP) Program. Please.”
  6. Yes, I rechecked my math and found that the only people this could happen to would be someone who was 2 below to Lt Col then was passed over for O-6... Not likely. Still seems messed up, but sanctuary keeps them from kicking you out without retirement benefits, not kicking you out with an early retirement. At least now the "E" in ESERB that stands for "Early" makes sense.
  7. Fuck me these guys (A1) are idiots. This is the description, but it does not match the PSDM - Temporary Early Retirement Authority. TERA authorizes officer and enlisted Airmen, with more than 15, but less than 20 years of total active federal military service to apply for early retirement with a reduced amount of retirement pay. (Voluntary) Ok, it kind of matches, but is paraphrased a lot! The big WTF is the involuntary ESERB that can hit guys at 19 years of service. Whatever happened to Sanctuary?
  8. Not in my year group, unless they changed it, again... Added: Wow, they did change it. The way it reads now anyone over 15 can do it. Would have been nice to know before I deployed. More added: Awesome, "updated 13 Jan 14" deployed 6 Jan 14. Also saw the ESERB can go after Lt Cols that are only once passed over. That is kind of messed up. Maybe I should go ahead and finish AWC.... on second thought.. No, that course sucks.
  9. Wow, I think he needs to log-in and say what he did. A little over 19 years when you put your paperworrk in is usualy called retireing, not TERA or SERB.
  10. How many years did he have? Lt Cols that were not twice passed over were not suppose to be eligible. If he is twice passed over then he has more than 20 and TERA is not the right word. SERB is.
  11. Thank you Captain! Soldier Who Said He’d Fight War So ‘Son Wouldn’t Have To’ Feels Like An Asshole Right Now https://www.duffelblog.com/2014/01/afghan-war/
  12. So, is this for pilots as well, or just Medical?
  13. The 3 guys I know that were booted all got reserve jobs and are all Lt Cols now. They know nothing about a law suit.
  14. BQZips Mom used it when her vagina went TU last year. I think that's it, except maybe the time CH broke his favorite whiskey glass and couldn't drink his favorite bourbon for 3 days.
  15. Heard the same thing, but they didn't say if it was 2012 of this year or next.
  16. Not anymore, his lost his court case against the Border Patrol.
  17. Maybe he loves his AF family more! I had the same issue. Only solution was to do a factory rest of internet explorer.
  18. Currency is 12 months for AMLOs. It is in our AMLO reg AFI13-106. So, for non-AMLOs I have no idea.
  19. I will look it up Monday. It is on my work computer.
  20. There is a currency. 6 months, but a new 13-217 is about to be signed and they changed it to a year. Or it was changed to a year a while ago and the reg is catching up. If non-current you just have to get current. I do not feel like looking it up to see if you need refresher. The training is so short anyway might as well run through the slides again for fun.
  21. Anyone know when the FY14 Bonus is going to be released? I heard they were going to triple it since the hiring boom is here. Did I say triple? I meat quadruple. I found it funny today that when I went to work the AF still existed after a 68% bonus take rate and a hiring boom.
  22. Trust me, you are wrong -- more than you think. I was not a school select and I have a great financial plan. I invented a device that safely and efficiently removes salt from sea water. Think about it! There would be enough salt in the world for everyone. I can sell it cheap and retire.
  23. Did this happen? If so when.?I know a C-5 stalled over Deigo and there is a great CRM video for that. Just asking if this was a type-o.
  24. Probably! Actually, Red is a 50% return, but cheap Indian Casinos charge fees.
