I disagree with most of this rambling, but I had to downvote for the last 6 words. disgusting... Go Lions.

ACORN! SHOTS FIRED!

Been down the ETP road. Went well till it didn’t go well, had lots of weight backing it up too and went all the way to the top. Good luck, best advice would be don’t let your life stop while you wait for the Air Force to do the right thing. That’s how I ended up with better seniority than most dudes I generate sorties for. Odds aren’t in your favor, but don’t let it stop you from trying still, it’s possible. pm me and I’m happy to share what I got but the AF has probably developed a new form and process for it all by now. All streamlined and efficient I’m sure… /s

Since there will probably be lots of military and leadership books galore, here is one that is a little different. it’s basically a collection of cases that he has worked over the years. Got lucky to read it for 1 credit back in the college days. Should be required reading for anyone that manages people or processes.

at least 25% to make even a tiny dent. I'd shoot for 50%. So much dead weight hanging around this place. And wasted money. I'd nominate @Biff_T for SecDef. Not some indoctrinated general who has played the game for 30 years. Someone who gives a shit about killing bad dudes efficiently and genuinely cares about the people that are tasked with that objective. And somehow I think dirndls would make it into an official uniform.

Democrats gonna cry about this one, I can already hear the screeching now. But If he can just manage to impose term limits on congress that would be one of the greatest achievements of any president ever.

Also outlines how important logistics has always been, and I never realized how devastating the numbers were behind the German U boat attacks on allied ships in the Atlantic.

Positive feedback, it’s so much smoother and better on the phone already. Thanks for all the work.

The assessment is one of two things depending how far along you are. It’s most likely AA’s pilot skills test (basically an IQ test with weird games). Basically all puzzles, no questions about flying at all. You can wing it and do fine. Honestly there isn’t much prepping that would help. It’s either you are good at that stuff or you aren’t. They give you examples and let you practice as much as you want before each section anyways. I think they just use it as a data collection point as of now to see how it correlates to extra sim time and such. This is an example of one section. They have another where you fly a ball through a tunnel and dodge walls. If you have an interview already then it’s an HR assessment. Psychological assessment kinda stuff. Which is a bunch of would you rather questions and pick the answer that feels best for you. And they are all bad answers sometimes and all good answers sometimes. i recommend Pilot Counseling Services, it’s the Judy Tarver service, that’s who I prepped with and they knew exactly how the interview was going to go. The whole team there has so much AA experience and is hard to beat when prepping for AA.

Well as an MIT dude I feel obliged to say it’s not Ivy League 😂 But besides being “that guy”, I cannot recommend it enough. I went as a prior E and there was a couple other folks I met there who were prior E. Every dude/girl who was in ROTC that wanted Pilot got it. It was filled with so many folks who have no interest in going Pilot. Now I’m still just a lowly dumb wrench bender so I can’t speak to how the USAFA opens leadership doors in the AF but I can vouch that MIT opens so many doors in every other place. It is an unbelievable place that puts you on the leading edge of so many exciting opportunities. But I wouldn’t recommend MIT as just a stepping stone, It’s a tool for passionate people not just a piece of paper. edit: guess just to sum it up, if he goes to MIT and meets the grades he will get pilot for sure. Unless the world falls apart of course. And I just realized my data is like 5 years old but I’m confident it still holds true today.

USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park is thankful to have received a generous donation of two aircraft made by the legendary singer and Mobile native, Jimmy Buffett. When the aircraft first arrived at the park, in 2022, Buffett wished to remain an anonymous donor. As the world mourns his passing, we are pleased to finally be able to share his generous contributions to the park. The Grumman Goose and Boeing Stearman are both on display in the Medal of Honor Aircraft Pavilion. Visitors will see a wreath and an iconic Hawaiian-styled shirt that has been placed by the Grumman Goose in honor of Buffett.

“Reinforced by the players beard and a tattoo that read Biff loves soccer” @Biff_T is this true?!
