  1. Any 06 year group types on here that were passed over for O-5, and continued to 24? In the past, I knew a lot of guys who were initially continued to 20, and then offered 24 the following board. The few guys I know in my YG in the same boat haven’t been offered 24. I have no intention of staying a day past 20, but the option would be nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I thought he was great when I was there in 2014. Very calm and collected when ISIS kicked off, while everyone else in the JOC thought the world was ending. I’m guessing this uniform BS was suggested by his Chief. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I’ve seen a good number of white guys who have decided to practice Norse religion so they can get a religious exemption. I’m tempted to ask them about their beliefs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. American stops hiring. United starts again. Nothing to see here. It’s a temporary slump because they were all trying to grow, and Boeing’s inability to meet demand put a minor wrench in the works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I don’t think the AF should. I think the risk with the legacy UPT syllabus was acceptable, however, and going sim-only or T-6 direct FTU are horrible ideas. The SUPT approach with the T-1 has worked out for 30 years. The correct answer would have been to just find a newer aircraft (with inherently lower operating costs) to replace the T-1. Kinda like how the Navy is buying new King Airs to replace their old ones. Another option would have been to send them to Nextant for their upgrade/rebuild, as opposed to the garbage AMP upgrade they wasted a ton of money on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Your Tecnam idea is irrelevant to a lot of the heavy platforms. How would this be of use to anyone who goes on to the C-5, KC-46 or any -135 variant? 737 sim training also isn’t cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. That could have worked when regionals weren’t paying what they are now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I think we can agree the sim only training is a dumpster fire, but is contracting it out really the best option? My only civ training has been through DOSS and Higher Power; Higher Power was great (but expensive), DOSS, not so much. The Navy’s buying new T-54s, those could have been a suitable replacement for the T-1. If we wanted to stick with a jet aircraft, the Cessna M2, HondaJet, Beech Premier (while they still made it), or Eclipse (same) would have offered similar capes compared to the T-1 at a lower operating cost.

  9. I’d leave pickleball off your resume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I’d say single, with the exception of students who’ve been married for a while and whose spouses have developed a good understanding of what the military lifestyle is like. Dragging a newlywed to Columbus, Vance, or Laughlin is a terrible idea. You’re going to be extremely busy, especially if your goal is to track T-38s and then get a fighter. She, on the other hand, is going to be extremely bored in a place with nothing to do, unless her job is portable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. I bought a bunch of ikea furniture to load into my car on my first DITY move. Paid for itself. But I wouldn’t call that fraudulent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Not doing CyberAwareness and SAPR/suicide is worth more than 100k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Yeah… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Just watched Land of Bad. They couldn’t have picked a more fitting name. If you made a drinking game out of the Air Force inaccuracies, even Biff T’s liver would fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Are B-2s now a guarantee to fly B-2s, or is it still a T-38 first and later up to the Squadron if they want you to go B-2s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I like the Chase Ink Unlimited or Freedom Unlimited for general spending. 1.5 UR points per dollar (need a Sapphire or Ink Preferred) that you can then exchange 1:1 for Hyatt Points, which go a long way. Thepointsguy values a Hyatt Point at 1.7 cents, but if you use them at any of their All-Inclusives, you're probably getting close to 3 cents per Hyatt point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Could you have picked 4 worse career fields? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. As long as we don’t increase the flow from the Citadel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Fake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. My friend’s class. Made it through PA, but then people started wearing them sideways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. A CR this early is probably not going to end with reinstatement. However, the best thing you can do is have a positive attitude during your conversations with leadership. I saw a CR where the Wing/CC was primed to reinstate until he met with the student who conveyed a less than enthusiastic desire to stay in training. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. The continuation board is separate from the promotion board, and I’m not sure if they actually see your PRF’s DP/P/DNP, but they will see the NJP in your records. I’ve never met anyone not offered continuation, but those who had NJPs were from their Lt days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I didn’t know if you or General Chang would reply first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Rated Liar for Life is at it again… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
