I like your enthusiasm.... Dare I say go watch a 4 TR Tac-D. You might have your first orgasm....

Don't sign the bonus. Just don't.

Interested.

It is possible to do a 2 year tour at a UPT base, a 2 year tour at PIT and then another 2 year tour at yet another UPT base. That's 6 years in AETC and not advised....but, it is doable.

You can also do a 2+2+2 to finish out your career...

As a current PIT IP (T-6), you must have gone thru PIT to become a PIT IP. That leads you to go to a UPT base first... PM me if you want the named resource. She works at AFPC.

Unfortunately, in today's Air Force, being tactically savvy and leading from the front plays second best to those execs who are nibbling at the teet of the SQ/OG CC.... I can tell you that where I am at, the Exec is a secretary and known as the worst pilot in the SQ with poor leadership skills.

If you are interested in Pit Pad's, PM me.

Wonder if he found any desert jellyfish in the water?

What's your mojo? Gonna put it to use or just the looks?

Simple Bump. Deadline is tomorrow before kickoff to have been signed up and paid. Thanks to those who have contributed!

Folks, I am helping a friend to organize a NFL Survivor Pool as part of a fundraising effort for a local baseball team. I have discussed with a Moderator and this has been approved to post on here. A Survivor Pool is very simple - starting week 2, you pick any team to win. If that team wins, you move on. If that team loses, you are eliminated. There is some strategy involved because once you pick a team to win and it does, you cannot use that team again for the season. There is no point spread, it is all head to head. It's a lot of fun and for a good cause. You can side bet with friends, there is a message board to talk trash, etc....it is all for a good cause. The fundraising effort will help offset tournament and travel costs for some 13 yr olds as they travel to Omaha this summer....most of these kids are military related. The pool costs $30 a person, with $15 going to the fundraiser and $15 going into the "pot". For example, if we have 100 people donate, $1500 goes to the team and $1500 goes to the winner. The ultimate "Survivor" takes all. We already have a considerable amount of folks signed up... There is a Pay Pal account setup to secure your spot. The POC for this event is listed on the instruction attachment along with his phone number - his email address: tfolvarsky@twc.com Please consider helping the team... -Cheers C-21 Pilot

Nope. It's Chang.

Well, anyone who fell into that scheme is a pure weak dick, pure and simple. Waving the BS flag - maybe with a limp wrist. 1. You trying to tell me that a young CGO (Flt/CC at KDLF) is telling the greater AF that a $1M asset won't graduate due to not wanting to spend $50-100 at the club? WTFO. 2. Leadership doesn't equate to IP's... 3. All I'm saying is that it is your money. You don't have to buy anything, period. Go do the "official" shit at the Club, but for heavens sake - if you think you have to spend $$$ on shit you don't want....really? 4. Send me your email address -- I have several Nigerian relatives that would love to get in contact with you.

Gents, I'm on leave and have no access to the portal -- Can anyone post the FY15 Voluntary Matrix here if it has been released?

Long-term misconception.... There is ZERO requirement to have any party, etc at the club and spend any money. Leadership only wants the "official" function there and rightfully so....they cannot force you to spend any money at the Club. Period. However - 1. Why not advertise that you are hosting the event at the club? 2. Provide ZERO beverage and food.... 3. At the end of the night, offer an after party at whatever bar, etc that your class chooses.... 4. Half the fuckers at track select/graduation are there for your free beer anyway.

There is quite a bit of discussion on this very topic over at www.airlinepilotforums.com Granted, nobody who is saying anything is from the HR department over there-- but, most folks claim that if you "really" want SWA, then go get the 737 ticket. Others claim that this will highlight you as wanting SWA so other airlines will steer clear of you - or that it could be brought up in interview discussion. Personally, if the opportunity presented itself, I wouldn't do it. With over 5000 hours, and a civilian schoolhouse under my belt, I don't see the need. YMMV. if you have never been civilian trained, it might help you out, and if the question ever presented itself about getting a type rating, simply claim it was for professional education, you want to make yourself marketable, wanted to take a civilian led course, etc....

Worst commander I have ever had: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrtwiford This, IMHO, is what is wrong with the AF.

Here at Randolph, just under the T-6 PIT side, we "lost" (their gain) 8 folks yesterday/today to the VSP. Another one is about to separate under no Force Mgt programs within the next 30 days.

Uh, yes! There are 6-9 guys that I know between CBM and here at RND that have the E-11 stink on them.

The FY '15 military personnel budget request supports a total force end-strength of approximately 483,000. The balance -- it balances the total force mix of active, Reserve and Guard components necessary to perform the Air Force core missions. However, as budgets come down and personnel costs continue to rise, the Air Force simply has to get smaller. Reducing our headquarters overhead, eliminating force structure and rebalancing crew ratios will result in as much as 25,000 airmen over the five year defense plan. This is a reduction of approximately 18,800 for the active duty, 3,800 for the Reserves, and approximately 1,800 for the Air National Guard. Realignment efforts will also reduce Air Force headquarters funding by 20 percent in FY '15, and our combatant commands will reach that same 20 percent goal by FY '19. As you can see, our plan is very aggressive. So we can achieve savings early in the process and reinvest those savings back into readiness and modernization. In FY '14 and '15, we are implementing a full range of force management actions designed to bring faces down to be within the range that end-strength requirements. We'll use voluntary incentive programs for separation and retirement first, and then involuntary measures only as needed to achieve the authorized end-strength.

This thread was inevitable.... Please keep content relative to year.

Any news on FY15 TERA options?
