HU&W

Key to the discussion is COMAFSOC’s comment from the article, “SOCOM needs the aircraft to provide responsive fire support “right there where they need it,” meaning it must operate with a small footprint in an austere deployed location alongside the troops it will support.”. That doesn’t read to me like a centralized low-density asset.

https://www.ustranscom.mil/cmd/www_igform.cfm for transcom IG. Most likely to get direct resolution. https://www.dodig.mil/Components/Administrative-Investigations/DoD-Hotline/ for DOD hotline compliant. They’ll send it to transcom Ig for resolution and provide oversight and require follow up. Letter to congressman.

Airlift and RPA here. Great comments above, so I’ll just add one point. When I look back at my career, 100% of the things I was involved in that made the news, moved the needle on national security, or will be recorded as a footnote in an obscure history text happened in the RPA. Yes the majority of time in the seat in RPA is boring compared to manned. But you rarely have to wonder if the interesting times matter.

As much as it seems it shouldn’t, these things matter. Look at the stumbles in the AF over the last 30 years in logo/motto/slogan/creed/uniforms as we’ve tried to balance modernization with heritage and culture (all while fighting for relevance). They need to get this right, so heritage and culture can grow from the start.

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and _________?

So, it’s official. It’s in the NDAA. And there’s a website. https://www.spaceforce.mil Looks like everyone that was in AFSPC is now in the USSF. They’re still Airmen in the Air Force, but will transition in the next 18 months

Here’s the link to the official go fund me for the family. https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-condiff-family If you want to get a glimpse into his character, here’s his deployment reunion at last years MLB all star game.

My kid did jiujitsu at the ymca near Sheppard. We were happy with it. He taught an adult class too.

Loss of prefix on your duty history is contraindicated for promotion.

This...

If you or your spouse sew (my wife is a quilter), don’t use a US machine on 50hz. It’ll jack up the timing, even with a transformer. Check the label to make sure it’s 50/60hz before plugging it in.

Chang was better.

Employee reporting delay, Medicare advantage, conscience mandate, premium assistance credits, disregarding statutory fpl floor, employer sponsored credit extension, delayed auto enrollment, tax credits for illegal immigrants, closing the high risk pool, and 32 other ‘fixes’ that were unilaterally implemented in direct contravention of the law that was passed by Congress (the legislative branch).

Holding to a penetration approach. Then back to holding. Looks routine.

Pt score and gpa

New 36-2903 just hit the streets. Brown boots now ok with green flight suit. Leather A2 jacket now ok with 2 piece ocp flight suit. Now legal to sew Velcro to 2 piece flight suit for mandatory wings. Patch location swapped for hhq and squadron patches. All effective immediately.

Or just start an internship 6 months before your retirement date. Instructions at link. https://www.afpc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1232254/career-skills-programs-help-airmen-prepare-for-post-military-employment/

“In vogue” means something is in style or generally preferred. “Out of vogue” means something is no longer in style or preferred. “Straight out of Vogue” means something is really in style.

I prefer a three piece flight suit

I actually like the battlefield airman tier 2 test. Way too complex for the masses, but a much more relevant assessment.

If you buy coreldraw, you can do it too. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

Maybe we should use doctors to identify health risks. Roll the body comp into the pha and use medical solutions for medical problems. If you absolutely must use nonmedical fitness testers for a ‘health’ assessment, mitigate with an inbody scanner for visceral fat level, not a meaningless tape measure. If I we’re king for a day, I’d make it simple, functional, and occupationally relevant. 4 part test, no gender bias. No universal. ‘passing score.’ Minimums are based on AFSC with potential different standards for accession and for retention. Retention decisions are completely commander’s business. 1. Squat - 75% body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep 2. Overhead press - 33% body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep 3. Deadlift - body weight - max reps in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per rep 4. 20m shuttle run - max 20m lengths in 5 minutes - 25 reps max - 1 point per length
