Checks. To my knowledge the only military folks that use FAA certified class D sims are your C37, C32, C40 folks.

When do the take rate polls close and the finally tally released?

I’m not sure we need to cross this bridge anymore, sadly. The ACRTF removed the ‘crisis’... retention initiatives have all but disappeared...as the COA is to now outgrow the problem... hence bitching is literally all we got left? Hard to discuss thoughts and actions to show they ‘care,’ when it’ll fall on deaf ears.

I kind of liked the death spiral... When I got to the herk the crew/tail ratio was 2.XX. I'm sure you're shocked that isn't the case anymore... which magically fixes the problem every couple of years. We are running out of numbers to lower though... For the CAF brethren: Provide the manning to train them or stop bitching about the quality of IPs. It's your fault. Blame the enterprise or the culture for the separations.. but in the end it's the CAF's fault for having your people punch at higher rates than others. MAF's take rates are finally below the CAF's, so we aren't doing better... just took a few more years. To the MAF brethren: Suck less at training CAF folks. Brace for the suck because the quality getting to the MAF is bad too. Don't bitch at CAF when we get bad pilots... or a 3 page thread will ensue.

Then bring them and it won’t be away from the family 🤟

C-130 and DV airlift guy here... While I loved DV airlift, the 5-star hotels, and worldwide travel... the feeling of accomplishment from tac airlift can’t be duplicated elsewhere. The AOR airdrops, humanitarian support missions to untowered/unknown fields, and AOR LZ urgent medevacs have been the most rewarding missions of my career. Slicks aren’t ‘tip of the spear’ first-in assets like the MCs, but since MCs aren’t abundant, slicks augment SOC a decent amount. 17s are too valuable, so minus your SOL II flagpole flyers, it takes an act of congress to get AMC approval for anything dangerous/tactical in the moose something to ponder

I’m usually not the type to spam the masses with advertising... but this guy was superb for acquiring a VA loan. Bob Worthington: North Little Rock Mortgage Lender https://www.blrmortgage.com/bobworthington/ Highly recommended for VA loans. I’ll be using him for life. He was a pleasure to work with, reachable, communicative, and closed my VA loan in 18 days! Even included a restoration on my other home that closed two weeks prior to this closing. Fees were well below those of mega-lenders. My other buddy used him as well with equal results. He works VA loans nationwide. Highly recommend you get a quote.

Not sure where this fits, did a search with no avail. Heard there were rumors of Louisville ANG unit might get J-models.. anyone know?

The past five minutes I’ve been trying to provide value-added ‘what is right’ input. Minus a couple of Sq/CC’s I’ve had... who are now both out and had little to no real authority... I’ve got nothing.

Got me there, but statement still stands. NORDO lack of SA johnny vice a suicidal felon....

Am I the only one still holding out hope that HAF reverts this reg to previous edition?

Hijacked aircraft comparison to lack of SA crop duster, makes sense

Ah, tracking now thanks. Making sure, I fully plan to 7-day my requal ADSC.

Wait why can you not 7-day opt? If you don’t sign it forces a DOS I thought?

If this is true, the AF actually turned a corner on retention. Pretty sure a lot of people would put up with a lot of BS for an extra 72K/yr with a pension at the end.

What’s happens with the C-21/C-37/C-40 units shutting down, will there be requal ADSC leniency? This three year requal ADSC is really making a bad situation worse. If we 7-day opt the 3 year requal ADSC, will big AF really keep us at our base with no planes until the DOS? Asking for a friend..

He forgot to mention the QOL, retention focused, requal ADSC change from current other thread. Weird.

At one point the Gulfstream was in the running to replace the JSTARS... not sure how that panned out... but that sounds like the best 'forced crossover due to E-8 retirement' ever. Then again, maybe I'm thinking of the G550 replacing a different aircraft.

Anyone know the increments? ‘08 is 190 a month, assume is has to go up a bit...

Being the first US military aircraft to ever land at a certain uncontrolled airfield in Afghanistan, bringing in medical supplies and personnel after a natural disaster... while an AC-130 was overhead ready to take down anyone that flinched.

Do us herk dudes a favor and stay elsewhere. You’re a herk guy or you’re not... ...and you’re not.

Fake news? Or did this just drop? Earlier today MyPers showed AFPC release as blank still, but other board releases were confirmed early June

Go ENJJPT. I know three slick 130J pilots, four U-28 pilots, 1 AC-130 pilot... all within three classes of mine (and that’s just what I remember). Most wanted them, some didn’t, either way... the guys that wanted heavies/AFSOC... generally got what they wanted. Granted this was almost a decade ago... damn I’m getting old.
