Reminds me when Larry got fatwa'ed: NSFW

Duck, I'd release them now with your anticipated separation date; it doesn't hurt anything. If you find out you'll be getting out sooner, bump up your availability, like you said. Having them in the queue has no negative impact from what I've seen; it might even help, if there are items you need to correct on the app. Good luck.

Thanks, man; I appreciate the insight. Exactly what I needed to know.

SWA guys: If you're a lineholder looking to work a minimum number of days in a month, what would your schedule look like? How easy is it to drop trips? Could you get away with doing 3 three day trips?

Before you sign the dotted line for your AD UPT slot, take the time to reach out to every single Guard/Reserve unit that you can. It would be worth waiting another 12-18 months to ensure you have autonomy over your life for the next decade. Additionally, you'd be able to keep the civilian job you have, take Mil leave, and then go back to it when you're done with your seasoning orders. The risk of foregoing your civilian career only to end up in a UAV should be a legitimate concern. Attenuate said risk by getting yourself a Guard/Reserve flying job. 90% of the paperwork battle has already been fought if you were awarded an AD position; capitalize on the AF's need for pilots and call your own shots.

The VSP debacle is one of the less shocking things I've witnessed over the last several years.

I'm glad to hear they have all the big issues ironed out before sending dudes down that path.

A letter from the commander actually seems to carry some weight with the VA from what I've seen...It only needs to say something simple and to the effect of you'll be gainfully employed by the unit under Title 10 orders and that you've incurred a 10 year pilot training commitment, so you'll be around for a while.

This happened a couple years ago, but a judge recently decided that the video could be made public. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Teqn_8tu5D4 -
Delta, surprisingly.

My buddy just got interviewed and hired by a Legacy without his ATP; he had the written done, but that was it.

The only thing that will work for sure is a mandatory raper CBT every time a user logs on to a CAC enabled computer. People will be so busy doing the CBT, they won't have time to sexually assault anyone.

Don't forget about this winner: Project MKUltra

And so it begins...again.

Thanks for putting in all the work to keeping the forums going, dude. Rich would be proud.

According to Boyd's acolytes, Osinga's book is equivalent to all of Col Boyd's briefings in written rather than spoken form. Mind of War by Grant Hammond is essential reading; Dr Hammond actually knew Boyd personally, unlike Coram. Certain to Win is also very insightful. Now back to complaining about the CSAF...

He didn't exactly get it right, but he did a hell of a lot better job comprehending it compared to that 69 step abortion the AF pawns off as an explanation for the Loop.

Col John Boyd would have turned 88 this month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLNIWsm7JTo The crew from Apollo 1 was killed 48 years ago on 27 January.

The AF weighs option of hiring contractors for the aggressor mission.

"Sorry, Mr President: I don't dance." Any time any evidence like this comes out about torture, it doesn't exactly help us win "hearts and minds" in the Middle East. The insurgency extends beyond Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is the part I was most curious about. I've been waiting for the claim against the Saudis to be substantiated. Thanks for the insight.

Anyone have some insight on what's happening with oil prices? Any good investments to be made from the volatility?
