Thanks guys. They finally got my paperwork done and it’s paying out this week. It was an absolute mess and the incompetence at my base was astounding. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Good gosh. Sucks to hear that things have gotten worse since I left. I’m rooting for you! I still think PC is your best option though. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Bummer. They keep closing those loopholes... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

That’s probably your best shot. If I recall, the reg says they have to have you home around 30-60 days before your final out (don’t quote me). I would stockpile leave and also use terminal leave to fence you in even more. I believe you can apply for separation up to 1 year out. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

My Guard unit is always looking for guest help to sit alert. Title 10 orders, full AD pay, BAH, BAS, etc... 10 days work/20 days off per 30 day orders, full per diem, lodging paid for, TAMP 180, not to mention time off of your guard retirement age. My plan is to keep doing this off and on and get an Active Duty retirement while still keeping my line number at the airlines. Best of all worlds.

Hooking up with the LPA? I mean she looks kinda hott in a MILF sorta way. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Wow. Prayers to the family. I am ashamed to say I didn’t even know he was fighting through this. How old was he? Any kids or ways to make a donation? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I don’t know man, but I turned the corner at the local shoe store and saw a nice pair just hanging out, baby wasn’t attached or nothing. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The whole “my boss is ... so that gives me the authority to be directive to you BS just shows how weak some of these “superintendents” are.” But seriously, what would you say you do here? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Honest question, because I got out of the UPT IP world about the time they were selecting the initial cadre, but has UPT Next been that much of a resounding success? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

This is getting confusing... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

My favorite quote of all time now is Nick Sabin saying “it wasn’t fair” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Yeah totally wasn’t her. It was the fault of those worthless people she was tasked to lead. Has she played the lesbian card yet? Probably could get more traction there. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Well you missed a good one on Thanksgiving Night! Ole Miss at Mississippi State, people are calling it “The Piss and the Miss” down here. OM Receiver catches what should be a game tying TD pending the extra point with 4 seconds left in the game and decides to mimic DK Metcalf two years ago, gets on all fours and acts like he’s taking a piss like a dog on the Mississippi State end zone. Gets flagged for 15 yards unsportsmanlike penalty which backs the try up 15 yards. Kicker then pushes it right and State goes on to win by 1 point. Never seen karma kick a team in the nuts so badly.

That’s bull crap. I got fat shamed all the time on Active Duty and nobody got fired. #metoo Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I didn’t list every time I shut an engine down in the T-38 or anything that wasn’t a reportable incident to the FAA. I listed my one Q-3 (that guy is blacklisted and not by me), and that was about it. I was involved in a Class C which was later upgraded to a B, which I probably should have mentioned but I had honestly forgotten about it because it happened at the school house when a C-17 broke our boom in half and landed with it still in his receptacle. That was a weird situation because the SQ/CC of the C-17s was flying and I guess he was a golden child. We waited around expecting to pee in cups but magically it all went away as if it never happened. Right before I graduated the IP found me and told me the damage was so bad that they had upgraded it. Those things you definitely want to list. I would say don’t hide anything but also don’t be the worrier who psychs himself out so much that he can’t perform come game day. Also don’t be like the guy in my wing who showed up for the interview dropping the F-bomb every other sentence. The feedback I got was they really wanted to hire him but just couldn’t justify it.

Surprisingly this one was sitting out on one of the tables in the lounge/tv room. So I can’t speak for other airlines since I only applied to SWA but I was amazed at just how friendly and easy the interview was. I even cracked a couple jokes and just had fun with the interviewers. “What do you think is going to be the biggest challenge going from Military to SWA?” “Figuring out what to do with all that money, Bob. Just kidding, but honestly... [discussion about leaning on others versus the military putting everything on your shoulders]” The toughest part was the LOI, where they give you a bad situation with no good answers and only a couple mins to deal with it. Plus you may or may not have helpful crew members. My FO was hell bent on diverting to a place that just didn’t make sense. One guy in my group had an FO who tried to takeover the plane and make decisions for him. It’s like a better version of Delta’s “what would you do” because now you have a face to look at and it’s not a hypothetical anymore. JUST MAKE A DECISION AND DO IT while trying to not be an a-hole, passive or Capt America. Good questions in here, keep them coming. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I went down to the crew base in Dallas to grab some paperwork a couple weeks ago and saw the interview list. A couple guys had some positive comments next to their name, but one dude had “Not only no, but HELL NO!” The Chiefs look at this sheet and it carries a lot of weight at Southwest.

Is there a number at NGB that I could call? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Anyone had success with this? I signed the paperwork back in September and haven’t seen a dime. I called AFPC Total Force Service Center and they weren’t helpful. Anyone know who else to call? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Goodness. Love how she immediately goes to the “I had to deal with homophobia... not fair... not my fault...” bullshit. You screwed up and got caught. You seem like a $hitty leader and the people who you were charged to lead ended up stabbing you in the back while you were stepping on their heads to get to the top. How in the hell do we promote dipshits like this? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m 2 months in and still have like 16 AFTPs that haven’t paid out. New finance system to roll out in FY2021... Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Honest question, but how competitive has this program even been in recent years? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Gosh we are run by a bunch of idiots. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

You aren’t the only one. My best friend in my unit somehow left UPT without ever signing his 10 year service commitment. He brought it up to our Personnel people here on base but they told him that he was under a 10 year commitment to the ANG. Hopefully someone on here can point you to the right place on where to find it. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
