Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Bwahahahaa! They ran out of money, mudda-fugging-ing idiots. This checks with Cannon getting a bunch of reservists to come out and then realizing they didn’t have the funding.

USAF Finally found a way to get rid of the A-10
Im gonna go with that was just a realistic expectation and not a dig on the MC community at large. We've been down this road before with the Combat Wombat and I think you’d be 100% correct that forcing an MDS to “specialize” in two distinctly different mission sets is asking for disaster. However comma there could be some benefits with a common platform. Have dedicated gunship squadrons with associated ranges stateside whose crews could go forward quickly to meet up with pre-staged equipment from overseas MC units? Might be some goodness there. That being said, much like the ACE debacle it would probably executed in the dumbest way possible.

Starting to see OS Reporting that Russia blew up multiple Wagner camps across Ukraine. That Ivan man, who knew he’d provide that much support TO Ukraine. First equipment and now fires!!!

Promotion and PRF Information
If you’re still waiting to find out if you made O-4, try registering for ACSC by correspondence. A few years ago I used that trick to find out early that I made O-5 with AWC (Although registering is as far as I went with that! 🍺) Apparently Air University gets the list even before Senior Raters. At least they used to, they might’ve fixed the glitch by now though.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Fair enough! Forever War was great, Forever Peace was meh… interesting concept though.

Honest question, have you read the book?

I encourage as many people as I can to READ Starship Troopers. The universal reaction is usually “holy shit”.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Ah yes! The glorious liberation of Pro Freedom Peoples Republic of Belgorod! It is wonderful that heavy weapons for this spontaneous uprising were locally obtained and available at local military surplus stores! Any Ukrainians who might happen to be in the area are there on vacation purely of their own free will. If you really think about it, it makes sense for them to seek independence from Moscow since Belgorod was historically never actually a part of Russia, but ended up there as a result of the post-Soviet breakup. This message happily brought to you by the Little Green Legion. 🇺🇦

Davis Monthan/Tucson info
Fantastic and accurate cover photo there. 😑This announcement is pretty hilarious since the last edition of the ACJ talked about how DM was a terrible fit for AFSOC and that the city absolutely didn’t want SOF there. 😂

Unupgraded… direct from the 1950’s. I’d say these bad boys are bound for self-sabotage if their crews have any common sense. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/04/14/russia-sent-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-to-ukraine-without-even-upgrading-them/?sh=59d9d7b734d2

Big question and fair! Seniority mostly combined with the wife has a good job here now that may be able to relocate later.

The new airline thread
Not to break the current trend, but… Im looking at commuting my first couple of years post-AF. Since it sounds like there’s a lot of sitting reserve, how crazy of an idea is it to plan on buying a home at the base you’re reserve at with the intention of fixing it up and eventually moving in with the family while using it as a crash pad until then?
