Talk to your det commander..... You get a pilot slot, and by some magic bean counters interpretation of your scores, you get ranked in ENJJPT... Anyway, what's the appeal now? Gone is the advantage unless all you care about is wanting to fly the T-38 and already knowing you won't get one based on merits in JSUPT... Everyone is seeing the same crappy assignments :)

I've never understood dudes who do these flying programs if they plan on the government paying for it again later...what's the point. Go to a real school please. This online crap is for box-checking....

Dude, 2.87 GPA is pretty darn low...you are looking like a football scholarship type applicant with that on your record. Not saying it's the end of the world, but man you are making it a harder road than it needs to be. Quit messing around...anyone can get a 3.0 + in college...ESPECIALLY if you are business major..jeez man...make it a priority over beer and video games and maybe you can fly jets for cash like the rest of us...or put it off...up to you.

Dude, we have come completely 360* full circle on this issue.... I can still remember the day, as a 1Lt maybe 10 or 12 years ago when the OG said "If the air force wants you to get a masters, we will send you to AFIT/whatever"...that was awesome for my free time allocation decision matrix... 4 years later they sent a PDSM giving us i think 16-18 months headsup that they were unmasking degrees for the 2008 majors board... All i'm saying is, buyer beware on this whole BS....i'd put money on the whole thing going the same direction in the next 4 years.

This isn't how it works at all...i've served as a lacky shuffling folders on the board. It's not separated into Dp/P piles at all. The 2 computer screens give you lots of time to read the records. The O6's on the board read read and read some more...it's just different HOW and WHAT they focus their reading on. Some dudes might focus on this while others that...combat hours, vs flunked out of UPT, vs DG at SOS...different folks focus differently....don't forget you have a room full of 30+ O-6s representing the entire air force - so 15% women, 8% asian, 75% line, 47 % pilot, etc etc.....if you don't get a fair shake, then it just wasn't meant to be.

How the heck did the one pilot survive!? I'm assuming i'm looking at a chute of some sort in the pic above, but it looks like it's connected to a seat? Plus how the heck did he get out of an exploding spaceship without a ejection system....anyone have any info? All the news keeps talking about it the fluff...none of the specifics...

Well that's annoying...FAIPS going to B-52s go straight to AC.....

Using that technical tool 'google' i found the following as hit #3 about Va funding fee refunds...if you paid cash you get cash, if you rolled it in, you get it off the principal. Pretty simple...you can get it before you separate if you get a disability rating...not sure if that's possible though. https://www.valoans.com/va_article?id=366

Huh? The way you wrote that seems all backwards. You mean married dudes get to live somewhere other than the dorms.....

Fyi, wife got me this watch - it's excellent and I wish I could wear it to work, but I can't. It is 100%, absolutely forbidden to enter the SCIF under any circumstances. It has 3 features that prevent it from being approved. #1 It has BLUETOOTH, so it's a no starter. #2 It receives GPS signals, so per current regs that not allowed in the SCIF. #3 It has a USB cable connection and can read/write to memory, so another no-starter. Fought it for awhile, and pretended to not know what the deal was - but those are facts. Bluetooth + GPS + USB memory....this is a walking security incident, and as blatant as brining your iPhone in the vault (well maybe not quite as bad, but pretty close). Time have changed, i'm sure some of you still remember doing crew briefs with your phone turned off, laying on the table in front of you....

I've never seen any problem in MX that can't be fixed by taping it, hitting it with a hammer or just ignoring it and fudging the paperwork.

Medals and ribbons together medals haphazardly strewn randomly around the coat References to superiors using crazy specific language such as 'Lt General John Smith Roberts, and Colonel Robert Johnny Smith...) ..etc etc.. But the real, 100% reason why this guy is fake - Any real Sgt Major in the Army would have verbally assaulted you for even bothering him, much less ENGAGING you in a conversation about his career. The PT reg thing was priceless...though Service specific because I have to admit, I couldn't name the damn USAF uniform regulation numbers from memory...i have a link to that shit if I need it...lol

Enid rocks - hot in the summer, cold in the winter, wind blows every day. Food is 3/10 and the girls are 1/10....any questions? oh and it's 1.2hr drive to OKC which upgrades you to 5/10 on the food and 3/10 on the girls. Enjoy!

Honestly, how are units viewing inter service guys, even in fighters? Do they still need to go to IFF just to check the blocks prior to RTU? Seems like a bridge to far these days unless you know somebody.

Costs money to close bases…lots of money. …And the first bomber to be put back to bed in exchange for the next gen bomber. Enjoy that kick in the nuts….congress doesn't give 2 shits about JASSM…they wouldn't even know what it was. What they do give 2 shits about is ALCM…and i'll give you to two guesses as to how many the boner can carry...
