now that is hilarious

that's how i take it too..."hey we can't fix our root problems so let's flood the hiring pool with civilian pilots so our guys have less opportunity to jump ship"

what is the commitment for a white jet tour? does it start after you finish PIT?

has he ever eaten food from Pei Wei and if so what's his favorite meal?

i agree.

thank god

sign me up

Met him back in the early 2000s at Oshkosh, great man who lived a full life.

reviving this thread...any plugs for logbook software you guys are currently using?

6-9 weeks typically look forward to watching your progress!!!

i love watching the world burn so im rooting for stop loss

one of the bigger upsets i can remember i should have put money on trump three weeks ago when he was +700

guys have been screwed a lot worse. it's not the first screw job by AFPC and it won't be the last. things could always be worse. my buddies that are in the buff didn't pick it #1 but they're making the best of it and actually like it now. they didn't have a shitty attitude and made it work. blasting another dudes check ride dirty laundry in a public forum is a fcking foul btw

but but but he's a SASS grad!!!

i thought all correspondence was done with? first step is to get rid of that worthless crap

go drink beer and chase women for crying out loud

we are over obsessed with promotions and school in the air force i've never looked up to a combat leader and thought "god damn look at that mother er right there he went to school!" maybe i just don't get the bigger picture.

yes wont happen

in progress for the crushing...

all us mid level captains have seen the bullshit...we dropped when there was only one fighter per class, we had RPAs in our -38 drops, we were in the squadrons with the TAMI 21 guys and heard how they got screwed out of their fighters, we saw the masters swing back to required for major and how our friends had to claw to get it before their board, we saw it swing back to not being required, we had friday morale shirts taken away, we had pencil tab patches made illegal, we had black boots taken away for swade, we saw dumbass ABUs come into "style" along with 1980s parachute PT pants, we saw the air force e-9s embarrass our peers in the died chow hall for wrong sock color (and be rewarded for it by the O-6), we saw 21 year old A1Cs drinking at DJ but aircrew were forbidden from even one beer, we saw our flying hours get cut back, we saw congress not do their job to the detriment of our survival in combat with zero shits given, we saw congress debate to take away dual spouse BAH, we became our own finance officer, we became our own professional CBT clicker, we saw below average yes men pilots do the minimum flying-wise and excel at queep only to get rewarded with good deal assignments and promotions (CHANG), we saw absurd increases in ROE for political purposes with no eye on victory. We saw the airlines start to hire... we didn't see our families, we didn't see clear cut victory in the war, we didn't see respect for our skills as pilots, we don't see a end in sight in deployments or war. The air force has been f***ing us since 2008. How the f*** are they surprised we don't want to stick around for the next 8 years to get run into the dirt. Most of my peers are getting TFO in a few years and i have zero fu**s or sympathy for big blue. They earned this.

I agree. "Best seen to date" is now 100% accurate on grade sheets.

wow those drops are sick! enjoy it boys and girls you're dropping in the good times!

i love when dudes start throwing their combat hours and/or air medals around you know to grab the popcorn

think tank huh?

doesn't this give you incentive to find the most expensive rent the government is willing to pay?
