I know there have been some issues with the P320 with the firing without pulling the trigger. But I’m not a sig owner, just what I’ve seen on the inter webs.

I’ll chime in on this discussion since I have both the xds in .45 and 9mm. I’ll say this I’m not a big fan of the xde due to all the things M2 mentioned. After shooting both of my xds’s I like hem both. While the 9 is newer so it has the updated/fixed trigger on it it’s fine. The recoil is just fine for a small framed gun. The wife has no problem shooting it. I don’t have an issue putting multiple mags down range with the .45. Ive got the pinky extension on it finally and will be getting the 6 round mags to replace that soon. The recoil is a little snappy but it is controllable for sure. Now my wife didn’t like shooting the .45 but would if she had too. I’d look into either on of those for your wife for sure, esp if you can catch them on sale like I did with the 9mm.

That’s true, the standard J school program. 6 day weeks in the sim which should be at max capacity with the sims they have.

Any changes to it?

Check the vmpf for your line number. I know there’s a spot for it on there. Now I’m not at work right now to check but that’s where I’d look if you can’t see the list.

It could, but I don’t remember. It would be pulled if they had a continuation board anyway. But Duck won’t know till he gets back to work what his letter states.

If they didn’t you just hit the lotto with the sep pay as well.

This exact thing. They will give you a corrected W2 and you’d have to refile.

I know one who asked to be passed over to get out got what they wanted. Plus they already have things lined up.

Duck congrats and good luck. Thanks for all the info you kept pushing out here for the group. You can make that 2.

Duck, thanks for keeping us informed with some of this info. At least someone is trying to get the word out. Would like to know what the “MAJCOM Commander Action” was.

You know as funny as that is, you’re probably right with that. Sad as it would be wouldn’t surprise me if they pulled some stunt like this as well.

Duck much appreciated and I agree that they should just fess up that they messed up and will fix it next time. 17D, now that looks familiar from what was posted earlier. So if we can’t trust our SR to pick the people who they think should be promoted then how can we expect them to pick the people who should go to school now?

So what is the truth behind the delay? I’m out on much needed leave from the grind of this place we call work right now.

Thanks for confirming that. Now did you ask them why they took so long to get this out? Or why didn’t they do a better job of communicating the delays? (Insert eye roll emoji here ahaha) but thanks. I know you are ready to get on with this as I suspect most of us are.

That would be absolutely hilarious if this did get Mad Dog’s attention and he un f’s this thing much to the dismay of the HAF, or get to the bottom of all this.

Which page is this? I’d love to see the comments.

For that breadth of experience they want. But yes changing airframes is cool but you need to go back to where you started so you can command there. So far in my time I’ve had 2 CC’s who where Phoenix guys, one was a herk guy first and he was a good commander from my point of view who loved the mission and knew what it was about. While the other was a tanker guy who came in and learned it midway through and wasn’t bad. But now he is back in the tanker world. I’ve had others who came into it from a white jet first and did fine in the mission but they left things to be desired on the command side. But does all the experience make them better who knows.

I don’t see why we can’t make this our own and be different enough from the Army. Like wearing the flag on our left sleeve, I also don’t see anything about where we are putting our wings? Thankfully we can wear our tan boots and shirts for a little while at least.

I won’t argue with that. I’ve has some really good commanders and some really shitty ones. Sadly the good ones are few and far between some days. We shall see how it turns out with the 04-06 yg soon. I’d also agree that the 317th should have never been made a wing.

It’s about time AMC realize that they should stop putting non Herk guys in charge info Herk units.

So true. I don’t know how many people talked bad about going to Dyess back in the day for the herks. I loved it and the bros I flew with. It was a good bastion of tac flying for a while. But you make what you want of the assignment.

While I did enjoy some of his earlier work and photos. Most of the stuff he post now isn’t great or shouldn’t be posted due to opsec stuff.

Duck I know you have more skin in this game than I do. But thanks for reaching out. The lack of news from this doesn’t surprise me at all. I think you’re correct that it will be a little while longer before they get the info out. Somehow I’m not surprised by this whole thing anyway and that they would mess it up and loose face with the masses.

Yeah that’s my ?, is a a month or a year. Cause it wouldn’t surprise me if they made it 6k a year. But an extra 6k a month would be nice.
