  1. A toast... 🍺
  2. Sounds more like either A. The CC wants more control over the masses or B. He doesn't want the blame if someone does something stupid. Too bad he is willing to sacrifice other's ability to defend themselves for it...😡
  3. Get some 31-34NRR ear plugs (make sure you wear them correctly) and wear some electronic ear muffs.
  4. O-4 is down by about $30 at Malmstrom...which was already pretty weak on BAH.
  5. BRS still has a 40% pension after 20, last I heard.
  6. So, VOR, LOC, ILS, and LNAV...that's not a bad starting set. (I thought it could do TACAN as well?) Throw in a 15year old Garmin and you'd get LPV too, lol.
  7. 2! It gets really freaking frustrating when the ops unit runs more gradebooks than the schoolhouse, and it takes months to get people trained up on things that were taught during IQT previously. The past 5-10 years have seen too much "just make the ops units do it, so we can "graduate" more half-trained aircrew."
  8. It is one of the more impressive passive-aggressive ways to avoid fielding a fleet of aircraft that I've ever seen.
  9. RIP 🍺 "Unplanned parachute departure"...is that a chute opening in the aircraft or the harness failing on opening?
  10. If you think accused and convicted are the same thing, your legal understanding is lacking. House investigations and/or referrals are absolutely NOT the same as a Senate trial and removal from office
  11. Well, the SDF's PR campaign has definitely started: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/13/kurds-assad-syria-russia-putin-turkey-genocide/?fbclid=IwAR2uZvM6YZieLFJAWJF7S5x0WvyB0NqnFKCIH3bMJR_NxLmkvsE2rwItJic
  12. Uneducated spitballing, but if it only carries shorter range weapons, push it forward of the manned flight lead...? Lots of options, with some limitations vs a voting enemy, of course.
  13. A toast...
  14. As for Del Rio, I recommend partying on base vs in town. (Easier, safer, less driving, and if things are like they were a few years ago, leadership is more understanding of on-base minor stupidity vs making the local news/blotter)
  15. Good luck, man. I hope things get back toward a good kind of normal for you soon.
  16. True, although the original notice did read as though this affected far more people than the clarified statements indicate. I'm generally good at figuring out legal language, and the original notice was fairly broad and ambiguous.
  17. Probably because the Senate is not in session until the 2nd week of September.
  18. Problem solved, right? https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-08-08/air-force-believes-it-has-stemmed-the-pilot-shortage
  19. I'm not sure that's the way to solve a mold problem...that suddenly, unexpectedly, and completely newfound to any leadership just appeared in over 1,000 dorms... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=469296953893005&id=251325062290392
  20. That sucks, but you were the AC and the aircraft was damaged due to an error of the crew. I don't know the AETC culture on student initiated mishaps, so I don't know if that is within the realm of ordinary. Legally speaking, that sounds like a valid Q3...even if it's really lacking in bromanship or understanding.
  21. Unless it's some sort of retaliation/IG type issue, I think it's pretty much at their discretion... Safety/Judgement issues are kind of hard to disprove.
  22. Good to know. I was running on info from about 7 years ago. Thanks.
  23. Not unless you are accepted for OTS or AMS (the guard version of OTS), or do ROTC while in college.
  24. Read up young Padawan... Google is your friend. https://www.airforce.com/careers/detail/pilot?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrpLoBRD_ARIsAJd0BIX2lifOeozi3FzMQ1yMsQzp6O6Ilj7-LLJ_ocM61PrqWaIuvhfHchMaAlrtEALw_wcB Further, I'd recommend brushing up on your written communication skills. Asking for career advice while sounding like a middle school student texting their friends makes you look poorly prepared and not serious.
