We are making decisions that don't make sense. I suggest you FENCE in accordingly.

Name me one conflict in which the USMC has had to use the VSTOL concept in their MAGTF? Other than building shorter bo-ats we don't need it. The AV-8B is a piece of shit. Here is a brilliant idea, let's share a BOMB between us. I haven't looked at the actual design plans, but if it is true and the VSTOL is the reason for a majority of the ineptitude in the design,then we are buying a flawed product. Just curious, but does anyone know why we continue to feed this USMC VSTOL canard?

I was just watching a Southwest commercial which said the fuel saved by winglets allowed for $69 fares. Someone should show them this letter and get the sexual harassment courses spun up. As a consumer, I'm offended at such language on TV, on a Sunday no less. I wonder if the 12AF folks are calling up Southwest to voice their disgust as well.

I hear this is coming on the next iteration.

I heard Grandma was a big Buck Cherry fan. Who knew?

Update, we have met our minimum of 20 orders and plan on placing the order at the end of July. The price is $2595 and includes a leather and nylon band. If there any interested Hawg drivers out there, PM me and I'll pass your info on to BCan. Attack! Tulsa

Great understanding of it on the ARC level, however we are all Regular commissioned officers since 2006. Why we still had reserve versus regular officers up until then is mind boggling. You have to go back to WW2 to understand why the process was in place in the first place. https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123015935 Attack!

slackline, did you come from the 347th wing at Moody by any chance? Just inquisitive, no other motive. Attack! Tulsa

Everyone starts at 7.5 points, subtract a point for lack of an AAD, depending who looked at your record (BAC+ = AAD, YMMV). The convicted criminals at Leavenworth start at 6.0 for the board, yes it is weird that criminals are on the board as well. So, immediately I started off at a 1/2 point above a convicted criminal depending who scored your record. Sounds like a perfect system, what is the problem? This is from my primary board and rater circa 2012.

How are they not impressed? I mean I would love to time share a TGP and LGB between my wingman and I, but the guys on the ground deserve more. Seriously, what do they not like?

Ok, whose kid got on the internets?

Canadia has an air force? If they do, why?

No, the gun intro is on the third ride. However, I expect every TX1 student to be able to land the plane. B-coursers though are a different animal.

II. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES A. SCHEDULING AND COORDINATION: 1. Each MOA has a designated military office responsible for scheduling all military flights for use of that area. Areas shall not be used for military training unless scheduled. 2. Special conditions of use and procedures for each MOA are established by letter of agreement between local military authority and concerned ATC facility. The scheduling office will advise all scheduled military users of the operating procedures contained in the letter of agreement. 3. Military operations in excess of 250 Kt below 10,000' should be conducted in Special Use Airspace to the maximum extent possible. B. FLIGHT PROCEDURES: 1. Military training operations within MOAs shall be conducted in accordance with the letter of agreement. 2. Although not required, ATC or a military radar unit may provide advisory/monitoring/separation services within the MOA. However, the pilot is responsible for remaining within the area and exercising "see and avoid" during visual conditions. I pulled the above from FLIP AP/1A MOA section. What are folks thoughts on the highlighted sections? My take is use see and avoid which would necessitate VMC conditions, unless there is a LOA to operate IMC between base and controlling agency or center. This is about the only place I've been able to find something discussing this issue. The whole VMC/IMC question would get asked about every 6-9 months or so back at. Our LOA with Center did not have an operate in IMC conditions section spelled out, so we told folks to push back to ATC, climb/descend as necessary, and then go about your training.

?s on ADSC (Active Duty Service Commitment)
Tulsa replied to FreudianSlip's topic in General Discussion
Question on ADSC incurred for Transfer of Education Benefits for the new 9/11 GI bill. As it was explained to me and after researching it on the VA websites, was it commits you to four more years to utilize the benefits. However, the member can revoke the benefit at any time and the commitment does not prevent the member from leaving the service. So, it is four years if you use it, but doesn't prevent you from leaving if benefit is revoked. I am just wondering if anyone has better or correct information on this before making a decision. Most people I've spoken cannot give me a straight answer or I get conflicting guidance from base agencies and/or official websites. Thanks in advance. -

The yellow caps are blank firing adaptors, usually they are red. The M-16/M-4/GAU-5 use the gas released from a bullet to cycle the bolt back, enabling semi-auto or full auto firing. The blank round does not release enough gas, therefore you need the adaptor to prevent gas release and cycle the bolt back. They will not stop a live round. We really need to bring back the BALO days, that isn't a slam on anyone, just a wish that would make us a better Air Force.

2, right to the core of the problem.
