  1. If I remember correctly, I vaguely remember having to track down my dual-enrollment grades for my pilot board in ROTC. Granted this was a very long time ago so maybe someone else can get you more recent Intel, but I would definitely try to get started on the right foot... And join the guard.
  2. Tell him to run while he still has a chance...
  3. At HPA right now. I can say it's a good program so far. Run by almost all Retired SWA Pilots/former military. Did you have any issues with the T-6s operating out of KDUC?
  4. Yeah the last VSP hit them hard with all the mandatory retirements for concert orchestras going in effect. Thank God the Air Force is lead turning this one.
  5. Noooooo. Really? The guy turned out to be a predator???
  6. True story. The best airline today may furlough you tomorrow and you may be crawling to a buddy to help get a job at airline x.
  7. So probably December is what we are looking at?
  8. Unfortunately, I think toxic leadership is seeping in everywhere because our higher leadership will only do something about it if they are forced to. See Rhatigan and JQP.

    Epi-pen

    Thanks man. Went to the flight doc with deaddebates info. No word on what's gonna happen with the deployment and he didn't ground me... I didn't argue either way...

    Yikes. I am like 100 days away from deploying. Better get on it. Thanks for the info!!!

    Epi-pen

    ALC? No I sure don't. Spent last 4 years hanging out with the guard so was on Tricare Prime Remote. Got allergy tested and found out I have severe (anaphylactic shock) allergies to shellfish. Went to Flt Doc today and was given a refill of Epi-pens (6) no questions asked. I am scheduled to deploy next year, any advice on what to do? It's amazing the solid info I get from this site. Can't imagine going through my AF career without it.

    Epi-pen

    Anyone have any experience with deploying with an epi-pen due to severe allergies?
  13. Come on back. AETC needs more deployment fodder. But seriously I have no idea why anyone would want to return to Active Duty but if you want to I truly hope it works out for you. I would call the AFPC service desk or whatever they are calling it today. If you call multiple times you will get multiple answers too which is neat.
  14. Yeah, we have an old B-2 dude in the squadron who says that although having the 38 as a companion is awesome, he feels even just a T-1 would be more inline with what they need. His words not mine.
  15. And sure enough those of us with young kids know everyone in a flight suit is "Daddy". God bless those families and those that paid the ultimate price.
  16. That's interesting that it goes through functional seeing as how the AFI states that AF manning or operational necessity will not be taken into consideration! Gotta love the AF. My Palace Chase was denied even though my functional stated we were 108% manned. He recommended disapproval. Hopefully this time is better. Thanks for the info Busted!
  17. Dudes, anyone have any experience or advice on applying for hardship separation? I know it starts in vMPF just like any other separation app, but outside of that the afi doesn't really give info on who it gets routed to after your Wg/CC, approval time, who you need to payoff etc... Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I can provide more info on my specific situation if required. Thanks in advance. Duck
  18. Huggy it's Afghanistanimation! And the monkey has a butler.
  19. I kid... I kid...
  20. C-17s do something?
  21. Kid, the best thing about being a pilot is you can do whatever you want whenever you want.
  22. I like to think of C-17 pilots as dudes in tuxedo t-shirts. They are here to be formal but they like to party. I like to party so I like my C-17s to party.
  23. Burn the witch!!!
