Ehh, don't worry about it...we'll make up for it with the new flat-rate per diem that was just established for TDYs that exceed 180 days!!! https://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/503463/af-to-implement-tdy-policy-changes.aspx /sarcasm I wonder how long it will take for this new policy to make up for the "nearly $500 million in U.S. funds spent on the program"...without doing the math, what's the over-under on that timeline reaching into the 100s of years? Putting them out on the Nellis range and letting me drop live (or inert) -12's on them would have been $$$ better spent...

Another possibility is that statistics are kept regarding how many individuals 7-day or 3-day an assignment, which is then incorporated into the overall equation that is used to shape the force; which would be a fairly quick and easy way to trim different AFSCs: i.e. if it takes a 3:1 7-day opt ratio to get one to stick, and they're 3 guys heavy, they let it bounce around until the 11X equation is "balanced" and then this: Just a thought.

It's like the Assistant to the regional manager...

Neil trap: bait.

"Or draft, coordinate, and publish a PSDM correctly?" Too soon...

Wouldn't that be great? Get retained by the RIF board and then immediately passed over for promotion…there'll have to be a few...

"made it clear that money, not ADSC commitments, would be the driving factor for how many folks would be let go voluntarily." To be fair, not waiving the service commitments that are payback for > $1M in training IS a budget/money decision... Replacing pilots takes a lot more time, $$$, and wear and tear on aging resources than it does to train most other (dare I say ALL) soldiers in the military.

"A war that, after 12 long years, is finally over…" Did I miss something?
