Obama will be up for re-election in just 15 months. Cutting the retirement benefits would be a major if not one of the biggest targets on his back if he were to sign off on this bill, not to mention the congressmen/women who would have to vote for this without atleast a grandfather clause. I'd like to think we are okay for now, at least until 3 November 2012...
Is it possible for a pilot to take two years off, after their 10 year ADSC, and go to an actual school to get a masters (with tuition assistance or on their own dime) and then return to active duty? A lot of the information here refers to online degrees while on active duty; if one were to actually go to an actual campus and get a masters degree, would this significant impact their AF career once they return to active duty?
Dropped 130s out of T-38s. This has happened to a few guys over the past year or so. I know back in the day all pilots came out of 38s, but just curious on people's thoughts about transitioning from a fast single seat mindset to the crew mentality on a 130? Thanks!
Heading to Yokota soon to fly the herc! I have heard that we are forced to live on base and we cannot bring pets. Is there any truth to this/ is there any way to live off base or in more pet friendly places? Willing to dish out extra cash, thanks!
Vance 11-04 T-38 drop:
F-16 Luke
F-15E Seymour Johnson
B-52 Barksdale
C-17 Charleston (x2)
C-5 Dover
KC-135 Kadena
If anyone has the T-1 drop please post, from the top of my head, a couple RPAs, a bunch of C-17s, KC-135s, an AC-130 and RC-135.
2 VT-3 instructors (whom have already been shipped out to the other squadrons,) will remain trained as AFORM instructors. Ironically neither of them were fighter guys, but they both flew 38s.
The C-Springs/ Denver area is great if you're single. There are a quite a few colleges (besides the obvious one) and plenty of young & attractive women. Just make sure they're not the daughter of an 0-6..
but yeah, if you can go overseas, definately jump on that, sts.

Are they really trying to achieve a complete shift to unmanned Air Force aviation by 2047? Damn..
