I think it is valid. The SSgt slept with the TSgt all in the same timeline. Being in the military, being a swinger is irrelevant. SSgt and TSgt are just as guilty of violating the UCMJ. The value of the SO that does Cam Porn is relevant if you've read the other posts and tie his connection to that members security clearance. Lastly, this attempt was clearly to go nuclear to hold the the system accountable across the board. Az never posted this here, only responded. These posts seem pretty calculated.

To be fair, this started with some personal attack which is a bit ridiculous. Anyone have any insight on if this is getting kicked around up top? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I got in with worse. You're fine man. If they say no they'd tell you why anyway. There are plenty of units in your neck of the woods. Get your apps in and rush the unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes. We've seen people do this at March and actually lose the card. A CC can approve an account one more time if you've broke the 120 day mark. If you go thru it again, you'll be banned indefinitely. If you go through the proper channels and address it, you can get big AF involved before the 120 days. Messing with the collections and company on debt owed isn't the AF problem. Its ignorance to think they'll protect you.

This is pretty solid. Everyone has battles man. I think you know the opportunity you have at hand. Don't burn it until you know what's truly for you. Sounds strange to some, but fear of the unknown can mess with your mind as much as almost anything else imho. I'm not a doctor (obviously) but I can't imagine going through this process without having stress and I can only imagine what that does to your mental and physical health. Stay strong man. Seek help. Even if it isn't for the military or aviation, health is you and your families number one priority. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fly, you want to opt out? Or you have a medically disqualifying issue? For the ladder you need to just say the issue. For the former, If you want to opt out you can. Self elimination is a thing at UPT at least. Idk what commitment you have to the military prior to OTS. It if it's medically disqualifying they'd probably thank you.

Dude that washed out of my OTS class got sent to BMT and was enlisted. You don't become a SSgt, doesn't work that way. Idk what the commitment is at that point. After OTS any failures I believe is a 4 year commitment. But that doesn't matter. More important factors are what you'll need at OTS or training questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1. You already signed and started your commitment? You may be stuck. If that's the case you need to call MPF to see if you're eligible. 2. Top Gun looks cool. But it's a lot of work. If you think you have it in you and that's your personality and you've done your research, been around fighter guys and mesh with the unit, then apply. Got a degree? Take the AFOQT yet? Those are gonna need to be completed. Have any flying time? They're going to at least ask you why you want to fly. How do you know? 3....I can't answer 3. Good luck man!

At first I read this the same way as you. My jaw hit the floor. But then others read it as " I know that if this were to happen that I". Looks like everyone is giving OP the benefit of the doubt. But I'm with you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

16-08 grad here. Each class has 2 RPA's and they went to Toners. Confirmed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ah, well I think I vaguely remember active guys at OTS filling that out. (They also had enjppt boards) When I was picked on my AFRC board I had OTS, IFS and UPT dates all along with my acceptance email. Now this was 2014... But you have a good shot of getting laughlin just with the percentage of pilots that go through there. Here is a good start and I could be totally wrong but I haven't seen a request process. You surely won't be asked if you did nothing.

I don't think that's a thing. Wasn't ever a process I was aware of, unless you have family that have needs (EFMP) that can't be met by one of the bases (I.e. Laughlin because it's a sh!t hole). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It'll be available. They'll contact you when they can process anything but until then you just gotta keep trucking. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You would... Wouldn't you? But there isn't. It actually is this vague for anyone. If you make training dates with the signature I wouldn't even look back. Most likely your training is paid for and you're old news to AFRC. That's a good thing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How recent? The way it's been explained to me you can count on it. But not forced. I grad my FTU in October and my hand isn't forced into anything but it is an option. I can tell you every career reservist I've talked to is screaming "don't do it". Every palace chaser who is tasting freedom is saying "it could be worse and you have a guaranteed paycheck". For the latter question, they won't have to fight for these positions. They're temporary positions offered to try and keep folks around. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well I'm new to the game and have been asking every question I can about this. The six year becomes four after you get qualified from how I'm reading this. So for airline wannabe pilot guys like me I have to calculate how long will it take for me to compile the hours for PIC and eligibility for the airlines. While posted minimum requirements may drop, that doesn't mean everyone that meets mins will get the jobs. Maybe I'm being too reserved as well as you mention avoiding paycheck to paycheck being that I have 3 deps on one paycheck for now. I have a lot to learn about troughing as well. This could also be huge in comparing fighters vs MAF. But bottom line, taking the ART slot doesn't limit your pay if you're willing to work mil on the side and balance. I guess my bottom line is maximizing income as well as hours and finding that happy medium. If I'm missing something by all means spell it out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can be more active than a "1 weekend a month" guy. There are ways to double dip and make the pay worth it. You really need to do your research on this one. I know for me, prior E it's a struggle. Locality increase for a GS-9 is still under 80k for almost anywhere. Rumor has it if you take an ART position at any point you'll be released from this contract... If you're trying to go airlines and don't plan on going regionals idk what else your options are. Troughing can only get you so many hours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wrong. 31-180 days is 75%. Re-read 4250.

This is EXACTLY what I was saying. A member in our class told them this is "a misinterpretation". As this is becoming the standard, they've told him "We'll pay accrual vouchers as such, but your final voucher will be corrected and a debt created". Which made no sense to me, thus you have this post. Regardless, Most people that are I've talked to don't know about this, so they're pouring cash into Crash Pads because they think its use or lose money, even with a Non-A. Some of the individuals are looking to get out of their situations and find cheaper long term rentals.

Alright, I'm asking a question that is beating a dead horse... But here we go. At Altus, currently the Finance office has stated the standard interpretations of Para 4250 is incorrect. The interpretation that many of us have had is the flat rate is yours regardless of lodging costs. If you have a non-a, flat rate is $105 a day, besides the official days of travel do you not just get $105, regardless of lodging costs? I understood this to be the entire point of the flat rate, being that it motivated the member to find cheaper lodging. Some individuals in our class have lodging for less than $60/day and planned it that way accordingly. Any finance folks on here, or people who think they understand this better, care to clarify?

I mean like qualified KC-135 instructor pilot experience where they can fill billets for aircraft commanders and fill voids. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PPL should suffice (again I'm not on he boards but it worked for me). I said experience more like prior military experience. That's the wave of hires I know quite a few units are looking for. https://www.guardreservejobs.com/newjobboard/ Websites like these have good openings. We do a really bad job as a community of fixing things such as "how to get hired" once we move on. If you get hired you instantly have a new focus on the next stage. Each stage you will have hundreds of questions and this forum is the perfect start, even if it means asking the same question twice. No I wouldn't say it's an elitist club but I think you've found the right place to start hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the times right now almost all units are hurting for experience. A lot of aircraft commanders have left for the airlines or gave up full time slots. I'm not saying "nobody is hiring off the street newbs", but just that knowing the times may require patience. I would absolutely say going through recruiters just doesn't work in Operations (IMHO). I was referred to online websites even from friends in high places. There are a few websites that give contact info out for units that are advertising needs. I'm only being vague because I honestly don't know the current needs of the squadron or others for that matter for UPT/new pilot hires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The two civilians that were hired both had licenses already. One was a commercial seaplane pilot with 2000+ and the other just a PPL working on his instrument rating. I don't know any of their school information though. I had a PPL and ERAU degree. I can honestly say I don't think their degree meant anything, but I'm just a lil co-pilot.
