As a new Guardsman, this one definitely made me laugh. Solid list!

I just got my VSP (FY14) about a week after my DOS. Taxes were taken out. Does sold back leave show up as a separate payment?

It's a 767. It's been flying since 1981.

Please, for the love of God almighty, tell me that last part is a joke.

I had to look it up. That movie has been around for 10 years. My lord!

Please. The AF decided shit. They provided near blanket VSP approval to 11M's in the 2004 to 2008 year groups which (IMHO) equated a roll of the dice. AFPC was obviously overwhelmed by the response to the VSP, hence the delays. I like the way Cox spins it to look like it was a calculated move by big blue.

While I suspect this isn't your creation, you have won the internet this week (and it's only Monday). Thank you.

Was the phrase, "back to basics" used in the SII summary? I love it when they throw that one around. I've been back to basics at least three times in the last ten years.

Question: does this work in a convection oven? I've had a C-17 loaded with these things and it never once crossed my mind to try this.

Chuck Norris would have done it with the air deflector doors stowed... and JATO rockets.

Not questioning what you're saying here... I simply want to know where this risk matrix is and how I can run it myself for shits and giggles. I am really tired of hearing about staff and their ability to figure out what is and is not safe for me as the aircraft commander.

Sure, but what if your one working ADF subsequently fails? Then what?

What kills me is the fact that PYB's entire site is dedicated to harassing Tony Carr. Tony Carr, a retired family man, studying at Harvard, who hosts a blog which he has admitted is primarily a vehicle with which to hone his writing and argumentative skills. The secondary effects of his writings have rallied a good number of folks who care about the state of the Air Force to comment thus furthering his primary cause. This whole thing resembles a 4th grade playground rivalry that has lingered on for a few decades too long in the small mind of this PYB character. In any case, it makes for good reading on BODN. I look forward to M2 reposting the post statistics chart to include October.

JQP, timely as usual... https://www.jqpublic-blog.com/continuing-disaster-afpc-misinforms-thousands-disrupts-medical-coverage-transitioning-families/

I hope 94-0069 isn't on the list. That POS had a lengthy bout of SC/EFC problems back in '12. It was painted with the Stewart tail flash but still used for CHS locals. After about three months and multiple flights back from North Field at full flaps, it was back in CHS colors. Somehow the NYANG stiff armed that one.

Bump. Looks like the first 17 has arrived! I'm sure the coast(s) will be sending their finest tails. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/c-17-aircraft-start-heavy-lifting-at-wv-base-1.305094

Is $17,500 the max for the Roth and Standard TSP combined? If I max out my Roth IRA ($5,500) does that mean I need to limit my Roth TSP contributions to $12,000?

FIFY

It's been a while since this thread/topic has been touched on, but this video released yesterday is pretty remarkable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_e9UhLt_J0g

Nice! Wright-Patt has had C-17's since early 2011 (source). What about Memphis? Stewart? Planned: Martinsburg? You'd think for $25 the 2014 edition would be somewhat up to date. I remember grabbing a pile of these things for free at CBM back in '06. I stand by my original assertion. $25. GFY.

From what I've heard, it sounds like the DLF Wg/CC has it out for FAIPs after some adultery crap at his base involving a non-FAIP(?). Meanwhile, the rest of the AETC Sq/CC's are being called to San Antonio to discuss the instructor/student relationship situation with the new boss. Now that we are out of Iraq (kinda) and soon out of Afghanistan (maybe), I truly think the Air Force has nothing better on which to focus. Once again, the whole shitting of pants/diapers thing is in effect. Perhaps someone at Laughlin could chime in...

Lauren Bacall today... Now who completes the trifecta?

Apparently JQP has an informant at Altus feeding him the shit that the OG continues to spray all over the base every time he decides to have a CC call in response to an ARI. Not unlike this... ETA: See JQP's text below:

AFPC has a DIPSHIT branch. I guess I always figured as such, but this is the first time I've seen it in an official AF Q&A document.

I don't know what crazy organization you work for, but this is the USAF we are talking about. Know your audience!
