  1. As long as the clearance was issued and not explicity revoked it becomes inactive when you get out - there is no need to know so you don't have a current clearance, but the clearance can be reactivated w/o another investigation if you get a job requiring a clearance within 24 months and your clearance hasn't come up for periodic reinvestigation. The Air Force Central Adjudication Facility are the ones who have to grant/revoke clearances not AFROTC.
  2. Unfortunately any device like this (technically even a rubber band which allows bump firing) may result in an ex post facto letter from the ATF (google Atkins Accelerator)
  3. Bad...
  4. Take the ADLS version if you can and you can drag the slider to the end of the play bar for each slide, cutting out all the reading out loud and reducing it to 6-9 minutes.
  5. One of our pilots has put several bikes down on the track and the road; according to him bags are no better than wearing shorts safety wise and can be even worse for abrasion since the nomex will be ground into your skin. BDUs/fatigues like M2 had probably have more resistance.
  6. Look at TPS if qualified. Knew a couple fliers who got PHDs through AFIT after joining the test community.
  7. Congrats. You'll be a WSO. Don't pork it.
  8. Answering the "how often do you drink?" question as any more than about 1-2/month can also result in unwanted follow up appointments from Public Health, as well.
  9. Stop injecting common sense into the discussion. If a new motto required 400k and 2 PHds homosexuality training will come out around the time the new tanker does.
  10. Bones merged OSO/DSO quals years ago; seat swapping seems to work fine for knocking out beans if necessary. Don't know if the crew coordination would be harder since y'all don't sit right next to each other.
  11. Interesting. Last time our SQ deployed they gave everyone 1 set of ABUs for the specific purpose of needing to be worn on the rotator to/from even though guys wore desert bags the other 99.69% of the time. Must be more lenient on AFSOC folks.
  12. We do have people that do that. Unfortunately those people also get sent home and therefore aren't at the Deid anymore (Pawnman probably knows one).
  13. General Knowledge
  14. True. Depending on the unit they could give you rides (sts). Or go to Test Pilot School as an engineer and become a flight test engineer.
  15. That checks. In the EWS you will be a developmental engineer supporting the CAF crews with EWO stuff. There are EWOs that work there too. Beyond that wait till you get there.
  16. Originally the Bone had DSO (defensive systems officer) and OSOs that filled roles similar to Buff EWOs/navs respectively. When they started dual qualifying people it changed to WSO since you were now qualified to operate the entire weapons system, just as the F-15E/F-4/F-111 etc WSOs did everything (since they were the only nav on the jet).
  17. AF explanation of it. The OSB is also what they were talking about when announcing that masters degrees were masked/not masked. Even though DLAB/masters/etc may not be on the OSB, if it's available to your senior rater it could affect your PRF or DP allocation.
  18. Version of your SURF that goes in the promotion folder along with OPRS/Decs and PRF for O-4 and above boards.
  19. 3 on collection agencies. The FDCPA (discussed here) lays out many of the requirements for collection agencies. There are a number of lawyers/other people who make a rather decent living suing collection agencies for statutory damages for FDCPA violations. In addition to what Hueypilot said, never send the agency any paperwork with your signature - unscrupulous ones have been known to cut-and-paste onto phony legal documents agreeing to exorbitant repayments, for example. Finally, only ask them information when contacted by phone; many of the 'debts' are just a line in a spreadsheet with your name and an amount. Any action you take to try to negotiate with them/personal info you provide removes the necessity for them to prove the debt in court since you are admitting that it's valid.
  20. 4 engine super hornets: nuclear super hornets: Rescue super hornets: Airborne C2 super hornets: Also 4 seat EW super hornets and cargo super hornets. For Navy selection percentages the AirWarriors forums might be of more help; however, just as with anything in the military slots/ops will widely vary, so what the gouge tells you right now might be exactly the opposite in 4 years when you commission (just ask the guys who the AF paid to separate and are now being paid to get back in). Best plan is to pick the service you want to be an officer in the most (I'm sure the Navy bros have their own version of the OPR review video) etc. If you do ROTC either way you'll be committed before you know flight slot info, so consider whether you likely want to do missiles/logistics/comm/cops/etc on the AF side or driving ships on the Navy side if you don't get picked up or get a last minute med DQ.
  21. YGBSM...seriously?
  22. Yes, it is Jean's. A little expensive for small runs but they were making patches as of fall 09.
