Gen Welsh - USAF Chief of Staff
I've watched a few of his recent speeches: seems to me he's trying VERY hard (sts) to instill some individual/institutional pride by highlighting some of our outstanding people and the work they do. So, if we swell our chests with pride, and begin to feel really good about our service...the cynic in me asks: what's the shit-sandwich he's about to ask us to eat?

Another shooting - In front of Empire State Building
And, apparently, the cops shot a few bystanders as well.

C-21 info
They've drawn down A LOT since the 90s Lear heyday of 76 jets at 9 locations...and that was after the REAL heyday of the late 80s. I was also late-rated, and was told to select a "real MWS" out of UPT. Recognize it for what it is, a treat, and don't tarry there, and you can easily be an IP in a MWS before your IPZ to Maj PRF is due. 3yrs in the Lear (one as CP, 1 as MP, 1as IP), and you'll enter MWS training as an FP, be an MP in a year, and IP six months after that. Assuming you aren't a slug, of course. And, assuming you play the office game correctly...be Chief of a shop x2 in the Lear, and get a WG or OG Shop chief position in the MWS unit. PM me for details, if interested.

Flying VFR
Mostly agree...except for this: There's no reason one cannot fly VFR above an overcast layer.

Dozens. Your base's education office can tell you if the one you choose is properly accredited / qualifies for TA. Google for "accredited by DETC" for some ideas...

WTF? (**NSFW**)
That was my kid? It wouldn't have been folks holding the door shut to keep the bastard in the restroom, it woulda been the crowd barring the door to keep me from beating the sumbich to death with his own arms. And had it been in Texas, by the time the cops got there the whole crowd would've stomped him to pulp--and no one woulda seen a thing.

CH...why bring Rainman into this? He was a hog-driver, not a raptor guy!

washout going back to UPT?
Use your .mil computer and check out the ETCA entry for SUPT https://etca.randolph.af.mil. Search for the course under AETC and read the pre-reqs...IIRC it says something like "students must not have previously attended any phase of SUPT and been removed for cause". In short, I think it's a one-shot deal. But I could be very wrong...if nothing in the ETCA then ask someone in AETC/A3T.
