2007 11M in MC-12 purgatory, approved. I'M OUT!

PM me, we just got someone certified as a proctor at my location.

I believe in this instance it will (could?) probably be a third MWS for Slick and some of the other MC-12 guys, since right now we have more questions than answers. Legacy Herk guys maybe or maybe not going to the J, Hog guys going who knows where and all the mobility guys who came here due to 169% manning in their previous communities. Many waiting on May 1, the AF isn't creating any more cockpits...

A storage unit for several individual implements with which one would perform household maintenance duties?

The shit of it is that there's a distinct possibility he was at one time in your squadron as a T-6 FAIP who got a bomber not named the BUFF. Now he rains hate here.

Plumas Lake?

I don't think you get it.

Every time his arguments could be defeated with his own arguments: "You shouldn't argue with folks trying to enforce things like reflective belt policies, because that argument doesn't enhance the mission." Yes... To his credit, he did repeatedly say "don't go looking for a reason to be offended."

As a recent Shoe Flag grad, this guy would aaaaaaaaalmost say the right thing! THEN BAM! "Don't argue about reflective belt wear downrange and just wear it!" It's not worth it to make sense, guys.

I'd agree with the caveat that if you get yourself killed or bend the plane, then all the JFIRE and 3-1 knowledge in the world won't help. Mishaps have included flying too close to or into thunderstorms, doing more than transiting through moderate icing, and flying too slowly. If you don't know the basics enough to be safe (and to be fair, maybe these guys were intentionally disregarding the things they already knew, which would make it even worse), then you're a hindrance and not a help. I'm not talking about "how far is a loc signal considered reliable" or any of that bullshit, but what's going to keep you alive.

Yes. Currently at Shoe Flag and being told that they're working on figuring out the final details of implementation. Either we'll be the last 8 week class or the next one will, so the answer's "how soon," not "if."

Close enough to see it was a Hornet just a few minutes prior to pitch black that night. That was a fun night.

Any words on whether or not the next SOS class will go? Word is the guys in the class that just ended got sent home early with the Gov't Shutdown.

Rubbish, the clues are there. Here's what I've got: '05 year group Capt, deployed twice in the MC-12, once to Balad in '09-10, prior E, -130 guy, currently stationed at a West Coast base that doesn't have -17s, not deployed right now, and God's gift to leadership. Or he's been throwing some smoke grenades out the whole time. It was the butler in the den with the candlestick.
