  1. Yep...prolly why they said no. But I expected as much.
  2. 2yrs from requested date of separation. Duck - I had the letter and a line number from the unit that hired me.
  3. Good luck, my functional said no despite the fact I'm overmanned according to AFPC...then SAF/PC also said no. I had a yes from Sq & Wg. Not that any of it matters since it's all what the Pentagon says.
  4. Focus on being a pilot first. With the insatiable need for ISR, I'm sure you heard of bases getting massive UAV bills to fill. We had a UAV guy who didn't quite cut it and is heading back that way. You've escaped for now, but I'd still watch my cornhole if I were you.
  5. I don't understand this rationale...you have 130 experience. You would go to the J, get 50hrs, and upgrade to AC if you were previously an AC. What's awkward about it? Unless you're worried about hitting your PRF as a copilot, but that hasn't affected the community since 2010 ish with that round of RIFs.
  6. Pilot I work with didn't make it. Sounds like he's gonna get the boot cause he's not eligible for TERA.
  7. It is a small ramp, but that hangar is built to C-17 specs because they thought they'd get ol Buddha back in the mid 90's. The AMC/CC made a visit there last fall too. But again, it's all about jobs for the state. Do the senators want to lose 2 crew positions and the ### amount of jobs that goes with that decision? Not to mention they're a MAFFS unit, and that's something you want to hang on to. My $0.02
  8. The last post is by deaddebate who follows that stuff very closely. His post has the latest version of the NDAA that's going through SASC now I believe. Either way, it's a good starting point.
  9. Over generalizing it with my math, but it increases your chances since you fill more of the boxes. Damn near every safety guy I know got hit with a 365. They all had close to the same STRDs as dudes without the safety stink, but they all got popped. Things are changing slightly since the 365's have "decreased", so maybe this was specific to '09-'14.
  10. Prior Strike Eagle driver too...I think he had a back issue or some sort of DNIF that caused the transition to 130's. Either way, ding dong the Rhat is dead! One of the dudes he fired showed up just to see it for himself and jump for joy.
  11. AMC wide I suppose...KLRF just dropped 9 ish RPAs.
  12. IP + Safety = 365 It is good for the airline resume, but you may have to pick your poison.
  13. I emailed them 2 weeks ago but didn't get a response. I'll try calling...I have the mission number and all that, so hopefully it'll be pretty simple. Thanks though.
  14. Anyone ever Space A'd out of Jackson, MS or know any of the dudes out there? I have an SMS account but I'd like to touch base with them before the trip leaves since I'm trying to take the family and burn some of my 36 days use/lose.
  15. It's pretty amazing that the DLAB is in the strat matrix here at LRF. Because taking a test is a great differentiator in officership.
  16. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/573651/C-135-US-Air-Force-QID72-military-jet-English-Channel-Boeing-Stratolifter This says they declared an emergency...hopefully that's all there is to it
  17. How are you ineligible for PC? I thought anyone could apply.
  18. No rumors, they were canned a few months ago. The DO got his ATP and 737 type I believe. I dunno what the old CC is up to. They've all moved on last I heard
  19. Any thoughts on PC wrt the newest guidance from SECAF? No voluntary or involuntary programs in FY15, if voluntary programs are needed they'll release a PSDM....dunno if maybe I showed my cards and I'm in for a painful next few years
  20. Mustace/Chizz...thanks for the good poop. I'll update accordingly. Time to show the cards
  21. The 17s on the ramp at Charleston are underutilized. If they redistribute Buddha then there's no need for new tails. But I'm sure they'll just order more and continue the stupidity.
  22. What are dudes putting in the personal memo? Can't just say, "active duty sucks". I assume the best way to justify is via force shaping and it's the cheapest option? Or does the personal memo mean a damn thing?
  23. Until the NDAA gets signed, who knows how long before anyone finds out.
