Gamecock c goes from 100 agl to 10k. But probably not a factor in this incident anyway.

How would these stats, specifically fighter numbers, be affected by the "early" takers from last year?

I am specifically referring to Clark Griswald's post about "CAS." Staring at a building for 4 hours straight or scanning a road while reading a book doesn't exactly call for a $100-200M aircraft and calling it CAS dilutes the meaning of CAS to something that is so vague as to be meaningless. As for the aforementioned tasks there are specifically designed manned and unmanned aircraft that are much more cost efficient/effective at that role and can operate in that implied uncontested environment. So no, no need for 2-seat F-35s. Getting more off topic... as I recall ITCs have nothing to do with terminal control. Heck they typically had no idea what the GFC was doing in the first place. Have things changed?

He's confusing CAS with manned ISR.

6 Months And no regarding the PTDY (some have gotten it in the past, but its not guaranteed - its for retirements or involuntary seps).

No but of note the uncommitted-eligibles (those who did not take the bonus) can get the $15k/year if they decide to change their minds (5yrs or the 20 YAS option). In my case it's not enough to do so... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that the take rate from last year did not meet A1s goals...

Anyone happen to know what the final number was? Also, if I remember correctly last year there was no bonus offer for those who had passed on the initial bonus whereas in the past it was offered (albeit at a lesser amount). I was curious what the logic was behind that and if that will remain the same in the future. Thoughts?

Herk driver - I saw similar posts to what you wrote.

You mean they overshot their target? better get the rif paperwork started

Since this thread is alive again... any word on what the take rates ended up being or are they still processing them?
