  1. I prefer a three piece flight suit
  2. I actually like the battlefield airman tier 2 test. Way too complex for the masses, but a much more relevant assessment.
  3. If you buy coreldraw, you can do it too. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
  4. 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
  5. Gender neutral and age neutral pt test. Run a mile and a half. Calculate your vo2 max from your run time. Multiply by your height and divide by your waist size. Voila, pt score. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/03/19/gender-neutral-fitness-test-for-all-air-force-considering-running-based-formula/
  6. Check parent paragraph. Only applies when in performance of flight crew duties. 8.12.3. When worn in the performance of flight crew duties, aircrew must adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the full protective properties of the uniform are maintained:
  7. Jan 22, 2019. Russian TU-22 hard landing to crash.
  8. I fully expect the light attack will be this. But with a ball, and armed.
  9. To him. We have too few heroes in this world that deserve looking up to. He was one. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/01/14/air-force-legend-medal-of-honor-recipient-joe-jackson-dies-at-95/
  10. Not all weapons create kinetic effects.
  11. A few other gems from the article to consider. AETC seems to be working hard to keep the retention crisis going. Interesting that the investigators did these focus discussion groups with people that did not have first-hand knowledge. It makes me question what they were trying to prove. Out of? This statement is completely meaningless without a denominator. And this one made me laugh... Especially after this post on TPN a few days ago
  12. The article never said what happened to the jogger. Did he ever get his motrin?
  13. But we paid millions of dollars to use those licensed terms...that work so well on college campuses.
  14. Isn't the point of retirement that nothing is time critical?
  15. Different colors of money. I imagine kickbacks can be spent without congressional oversight.
  16. Huge increase in Pensacola. Big drop for Eglin. Amazing how different market conditions can be on either side of Hurlburt.
  17. I was in your same boat in 2004. I didn't take a $72K bonus as a SrA so I could preserve my options. Instead I applied to OTS during a time when AD selection rates were around 5%. I have no regrets. I've still never taken a bonus, and I still have no regrets. Everything has an opportunity cost, and I chose to 'spend' those lost bonus dollars on freedom of maneuver.
  18. Chang deux. I know the last round was a troll, and well done. I expect this one is too. If this attitude becomes pervasive among our combat corps, we won't survive the next shooting war, and these things won't matter.
  19. When you go to the commissary on the first and fifteenth of every month, the SF Airman at the gate will say 'good morning major' instead of colonel.
  20. So, now the base is making quality of life worse for the dairy owners? Please, someone say to the dairies, "if you don't like it, you can leave."
  21. What is your API code?
