Um? Last time I checked, enlisted folks are not supposed to be correcting their superiors. I can't remember the last time I told General Betrayus that his gig line was out of wack and that his sun glasses were out of regs. Same way I don't want some candy-stripper AF sgt telling me anything outside his area of responsibility.

Are we still wearing blues on mondays? Or is this gone....?

It's no sweat. When I went they just took me in the room with their old-as& vision testing projector and proceded to flunk me. Apparently I did not meet the Navy required 20/20! I had just left Brooks with 20/30 vision, which was fine with them :) So after about an hour of sweating it and trying to get someone above the pay grade of E-2 to look at my paperwork, and my constant yelling "but i'm in the AIR force!!!" - they finally figured out why I wasn't wearing kahki's and they gave me an upchit.

They're still building this? I thought we were giving all that money to poor people for free gas? I'd double check my sources on that...and tell those two Luke dudes not to buy get any new mortgages just yet....

Anyone got the real scoop on what's going on at the 11th at KBAD? I'm hearing we PCS to the 11th, and then at some point after starting training we get told if we are staying or going to minot. Sounds like alot of pain in the butt, keeping us on our toes unable to decide if I should be buying a house or not until we find out - but then what to do until that point.. Anyone?....first hand knowledge if possible...

has to do with B-1's not being nuclear assests. Sure I can strap a nuc to a cessna, but it's not going to SAC part II. The nuc traid is going to GSC - buffs, dueces & missiles.

Huh? WTF? Explain to me the process for applying for a non-existent program. You might as well tell some MPF bubba to "keep on applying to get that Raptor assignment"... This has nothing to do with VSP's and palace chase - it has to do with big blue and his view on the fighter mafia and training. It's the same BS why every assignment i can't switch aircraft. When I get back from AETC I need a entire FTU program, so why couldn't I just attend FTU in some other airframe? Because big blue said so..

Everyone check your email - just got a "robot" email asking for colunteers for 179day TDY's to Washington DC to run some nuke-related jobs in the standup for Global Strike Command (GSC!). This should be awesome...i can't wait to preflight in my white gloves and ascot.

Okay, no more 5-20 year old info...here is the 100% CURRENT situation. There is no normal crossflow between tanker, bomber, fighter - at all - in any direction! Period Dot. This does not account for the 1 in a million, 3-star's aid, or reserve/guard exception or some green-door afpc mistake. All B-52 & B-1 pilots TODAY come from the T-38 track. Reason? They tried the T-1 track back in 98-99 and DID NOT LIKE THE PRODUCT. Period dot. Agree or disagree, that's the reason. Realisticly it's used as a AFPC cushion for fighter slots. It allows JSUPT to have a better chance of getting top guys into fighter slots...but even that is old news - try getting an ACTUAL fighter slot out of JSUPT today (I'm a T6 IP) B-2's ? This current years message says ONLY Fighter/Bomber or Fighter/Bomber FAIPS are eligible. It's been that way for 2 or 3 years now. Don't waste your time, we've had tanker FAIPS in my squadron get reminded by the AETC/CC to STOP applying. Read the message and you'll actually see a new section that tells you that the Fighter/Bomber issue is NON-WAIVERABLE. Please don't tell us about how you did it 5 years ago, or how your buddy did it 10 years ago, or some other fictional crap. Might as well talked about sitting nuc-alert in the buff 7 days a week....it's all ancient history.

Here is the real gouge. If you go with anyone but TDYCORPORATEHOUSING.com you are an idiot - period dot. Talk to Claudia/Dan and get the real hookup. As for choices? Screw Dale Mabry unless you like licing on a busy ghetto street. Tell them you want to live downtown in one of the condo's by the cruise ship docks. If you like to push it up every night, ask to stay in the cuban district nearby.

So I was filling out my ADP today and low and behold there is a new (at least to me) AFSC for 11's.. DAFSC/Duty Type11SM--Spec Ops Plt/Air Commando (FID, LVA, Data Masked) This is in /addition/ to the 11XX - Spec Ops Plt / NSA (non standard aircraft) pilot So does anyone have any idea what this is all about?
