You should've seen my "stellar" scores 24 yrs ago. No worries applying to a heavy unit. Especially w/ the exodus ongoing. Press on

Damn, way too young.

Can someone post an obit? (unless i missed it somewhere) Heart goes out. Godspeed

Outstanding!! Thanks for sharing. A toast to Col Sweet.

Where do you wear the nametag? Flight suit nametag type?

Still standing by on memo for reduction of duties

Anyone experience the apparent change in TAMP coverage following an ARC deployment? Specifically, 60 day deployment = 6 months of Tricare Prime coverage followed by 6 months Tricare "Select" coverage (my case currently). It should (has always been) 6 mo Tricare Prime before and after deployment. Tricare Select (Tricare Standard over a year ago) is basically same as Tricare Reserve Select w/ NO monthly fees (you still have copayments/deductibles/catastrophic cap). Am I missing something?

You said it brother. It’s amazing that I can make O5 in the ARC and have no idea what a super P/double DP etc is!!

Or...….you could fly the Herk and get down to 100' AGL!!!!!

Any specifics on the abuse of USERRA? Curious to hear what this clown did?

YES!! Well played Found it: USAFCENTI 36-2903, 12 December 2018 13 3.4. Desert Flight Duty Uniform (DFDU or Tan Flight suit). 3.4.1. Headgear. OCP patrol caps and OCP ball caps are authorized. OCP Campaign (floppy) hats are only authorized in theater. 3.4.1.1. Headgear will not be rolled, tucked or otherwise formed. Hats will be worn in their natural form and will not be hung around the neck when not being worn. 3.4.1.2. Officer rank will be sewn on the OCP patrol cap or floppy hat. 3.4.2. Scarves are not authorized. 3.4.3. Boots will be Coyote Brown.

Anyone ever press to test on wearing the coyote brown boots w/ the desert bag? Can it work?

Anyone know when Rich was down in Corpus??

Awesome. Well played

Happens to me all the time!! And that's the beauty of it. If the TDY CX, do a TP (or 2) to justify that MLOA. Now you can stay at home (and here's a novel idea, go bang the wife!!). When you hit a certain age, you really have to ask the question, do I really NEED all that money. The answer is probably no.

Very well said!!

Did you read the BG quote on an obvious comparison between 11B and SF? Good lord. Being prior Army I just had to laugh.

Amen. After all, trying to maintain currency/proficiency in 2 (geographically separated) jobs is difficult enough. (ESPECIALLY as a commuter I might add) Pre-post MLOA? Did that once or twice. What a joke. Scheds just built a line "around" the MLOA. Now I get to work 20-25 days out of the month. No thanks. My caveats. Don't drop ML and then pick up trips that benefit your schedule/lifestyle. Drop ML and perform your duty (no brainer here). I don't sit reserve anymore, however, when I did I would not drop a mil day in the middle of a reserve block leaving 1-2 days coverage (looks bad). Provide advance notice (MINIMUM 2 weeks for me). I have no problem working Thanksgiving and then dropping a trip for legitimate (what else is there?) ML on a trip(s) before and after Xmas. In a unit with numerous requirements/high ops-tempo, flying is only conducted before and after the Xmas holiday. Being able to complete all your beans by the end of the half, coupled with the units flying availability, limits your options.

“Noticed by management”? Curious as to how you know this?

Anyone know how to find pin-on dates for AFRC O-5 promotions?

I've had this problem before (multiple times). Devils advocate: Why did you claim a taxi when the crew had a rental car on orders? Problem still needs solved though in the end.

Heads up everyone. I have a buddy in the PRANG setting up a foundation to help. The Rican 68 Foundation. More to follow in a few days. Prayers to the families.

Wow, this should be put out in an FCIF. Gone are the days of the good deal XC when you have to stay on base now. Bummer

Anyone have any issues with finance kicking back a voucher for lack of a Non A when using the "24 hr rule"?? I did some research today and here is what I came up with. The "new" JTR dated 1 July 2017(formerly the JFTR) does not contain the verbiage for the 24 hr rule i.e. that a member does not have to check with lodging for stays inside of 24 hrs. However, the current AFI 34-135 Sept 2014 pg 32 still states that Per JFTR, Volume 1, government quarters are considered not available when the TDY is less than 24 hours. Therefore NA numbers are not issued in such circumstances. This should be stated on the member’s travel orders or the TDY member should note this on his/her travel voucher. (T-3)." It seems as though the AFI has not caught up with the current version of the JTR which essentially eliminated the 24 rule tactic. My question is can the AFI take precedence over the JTR? This is going to be a big surprise for a lot of old heads going XC and I'm trying to clarify everything so I/we don't get burned.

Got a crew on location for a static. I'll ask them and advise
