I’m gonna guess it’s a U-2 just because I’m not sure what else it could be that lands tough. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Are you getting out soon? If not, go buy a private plane, build hours for the mins. Unless something changes, expect regionals til you can make the jump. Getting the mins for ATP is probably the big hurdle. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Really sad that is all it takes to lose your career these days. He’ll probably have a great stint at Delta though and people seeing this example are that much more likely to follow him out. Big loser here is retention, again. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m only worried about the US side of things since posted are thru the base. European Governments can’t even keep out undesired illegals let alone will they shun tourist dollars should I return. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Anyone know the ramifications of PCSing from OCONUS with an unpaid parking ticket on NATO plates? Normally I’d pay but they ticketed me while I was waiting at the machine to buy the ticket. Considering just ignoring it but don’t want to get bit during PCS. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Look, if you think the USAF could be your key to happiness and fulfillment, it’s not. Expectation management. My USAF career has been nothing like I envisioned when I was in ROTC but back then I was dumb and naive. I learned real quick that my expectations were built on false pretenses. I haven’t always been happy in my 17 years of flying in the USAF but for me it was definitely worth it. Some might have followed my same career path/assignments and been really disappointed. Others ecstatic. “Worth it” is 100% subjective. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m just gonna try to post something here every time I’m bored sitting top-3. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Agreed, not a war. A lot of other things: monumental waste of resources among them tops my list. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

My sortie got canx’d and I’m bored, no pics of boobs on my phone but hoping if I restart this 6.9yr old thread maybe some of you have additions. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I will be in the same boat. But the SFAR seems clear to me. The avg FSDO guy doesn’t understand the difference between deployment/OS so I plan to have a memorandum stating I “was assigned overseas as part of a military operation” which is vague but true.

I actually got that from work but word of advice: unless you are a F-15C pilot, don’t search for “helicopter gay” in google. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I respect helos, that being said, I’m a fighter guy so here ya go. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

No you can’t. I bet with the millennials running things in the age of metoo, UPT is an absolute blast. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

So WTF actually happened at Laughlin to cause this purge? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m pretty sure 3rd year pilot pay at the majors outpaces GO pay. Why anyone stays in the USAF to lead is beyond me. It’s like trying to be “king turd of sh-t island” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

100% correct. It pains me to see people thinking feedback is the problem. If you receive honest feedback that you need to improve, you are not on the path and never were. Honest feedback is reserved for counseling chosen ones on how to maintain their path. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

This seems pretty cut and dry. If you transfer, you’ll pick up 4 yrs ADSC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

My guess is that new guidance comes out by Nov when AFPC starts matching the summer VML. Latest by Jan when I think all the assignments will be doled out and people need to make their decision. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

So true. Listen dudes, if you are at your 10-12 year mark and you don’t know you are a HPO or you don’t have a special patch on your arm, you are most likely a needs of the USAF body/AFPC spreadsheet number. That doesn’t mean you can’t have some kickass assignments and decent gigs, it just means that if you have big career dreams or ideas of leadership grandeur, you will probably be disappointed. You will often find yourself working twice as hard for less results and if it comes down to a good deal between you and your patch/HPO counterpart, you will lose whether you were the right guy/gal or not. Just keep it in mind when you are offered that bonus or ADSC extending assignment vs a chance for guard/reserves. I’m always amazed at the guys I’ve seen neglecting their personal lives/families trying to gain favor with Big Blue when in reality their career fate was sealed years prior...just nobody told them.

Love watching all social media reactions on Kavanaugh. The most satisfying are the ladies talking about white male privilege interspersed with their discussion of how spinning classes and shopping will take their minds off this horrible injustice while they are supported financially by their white male husbands out doing jobs.

C’mon, everyone knows this cannot be proven or disproven 100% and I don’t think the dems overall objective was ever to really assure he would not get appointed. They are trying to get the emotion going for females into the mid terms by painting the GOP as rich white males who don’t care about women. That’s what makes this whole thing political. If the tables were turned, the dems would be defending their nominee and republicans conjuring up Bill Clinton 2. That’s why this issue is polarized along party lines. The people who think he’s guilty “surprise” have a leftist political agenda. It doesn’t help that in 2018, 96.9% of women fit the definition of an assault or rape survivor but the dems need that victim hood to get people to vote. It’s why they preach to every minority group etc that they are victims of the evil GOP. In reality they are just pawns being used by the dems. I consider myself independent but the dems truly disgust me. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

NS, I assume you are talking about the PCS ADSC. What if they send you to a TX that extends you well past your bonus ADSC or retirement eligibility date. You can 7 day opt correct, set your date of separation as the end of your current ADSC and then, it is up to the USAF what to do with you. I don’t think they can force you to accept a longer ADSC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The big question is the status of your community needs vs your quals. If you 7 day opt a PCS the USAF will most likely keep you at your base where you’ll serve at the “needs” of your community, or PCS you and waive the ADSC if they need you bad enough at that base. I’ll be real curious next VML to the non-current people who have to choose between the new 3 yr requal adsc and 7 day opting. Will they be re qual’d and ADSC waived or sent to a 2yr ALO gig in El Paso if they 7 day opt to avoid the ADSC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

“But she was anonymous originally!” Maybe she figured like many libs that it’d never get to an investigation because in 2018 an allegation would get . The dems sat on this so long, I think maybe they even had little faith in the truth only saving it as a last ditch. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
