I’m biased, but I think if Ohio State can run the ball consistently we pull away in the second half. If not, I think a shootout favors the home team.

Ohio State

Thanks for sharing Skitzo. This is the type of transparency Airmen have been asking about for years. I’d personally put this in the “what’s right with the AF” category. Sorry to hear about the lost assignment.

This. Observed first hand in multiple Gp, Wg, and higher front offices.

2 same. Fuck M1ch!g@n. Their season will be vacated soon….well, soon in NCAA terms.

A1K and the functionals posted slides on the MAF Mentoring Facebook within the last week that has the breakdown.

FY20 AvB is out on MyPers. As expected, dollar amounts and options appear to be the same as last year.

Nickel on the grass. 🥃 Prayers for the fallen and the Shooters tonight.

Checks. The rate at which the new competitive categories promote will likely go down because the AF still only needs/is authorized X number of new O-4 or O-5s per year. In the Current system, officers compete for every authorized line number. In the new system they will only compete for slots allocated to their competitive category (sts). Because smaller, support type competitive categories will have guaranteed line numbers, the result will be a lower overall selection rate (%) for the ops category. However, the goodness is that each competitive category can define what it values in its officers. Instead of competing with sitting Sq/CCs from the MSG the lead hundreds of Airmen, the ops category can place higher emphasis on things like deployments, WIC grads, etc. I personally think it’s a fair trade off because the goobers and queep monsters in Ops will more easily standout amongst the purely ops records.

Section 611 of the Senate version simply authorizes payment at the current rate. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-116s1790rs/pdf/BILLS-116s1790rs.pdf

Yes. The AFDW/CC briefed the AF folks here at CGSC a month or so ago and said this was approved. Though the timeline and particulars for implementing the plan is still up in the air. He said he expects in the 2021 time frame. I think this is a good move since each competitive category can choose to promote what it values and the number of selects for each category can be tailored year to year based on needs. The downside is they expect rated promotion rates to decrease because the overall number of selects is still capped and each category will get allocated guaranteed line numbers.

What pawnman said. Wing CCs know that their #1 and probably #2 push are a lock for school (assuming the record matches the push) so why would they waste the “DA” on someone like that? The best use of the DA is to get the late bloomers or those with bad timing due to PCS, extended deployments, etc to school.

The AvB changes year to year based on retention requirements. Who knows what the specifics will be 10 years from now.

Check RAW via AFPC secure, but I think it just breaks it down by IDE/no IDE.
