Bergman Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 The leadership at my Guard base is forcing us to use PT gear for all PT tests starting in October. This should probably go in the "WTF?" thread. For all the other Guard guys, is this coming your way? Not in my neck of the woods. Haven't heard of it at any other unit either FWIW.
SocialD Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Um... what? Apparently, I've lost total SA. This is actually happening? Not even for fini flights! When you're on state property, you play by state rules. I know of at least 3 states with the same rule. It also doesn't help when the Army is part of your chain of command.

JarheadBoom Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Why is it he wanted us focused on saving a buck here and there when we could change big things and save TONS of cash??? Because changing the big things takes, among other things, a leap of faith, something today's AF management is (for the most part) deathly afraid of. 1
ThreeHoler Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Another rumor from ACSC... Practice bleeding (PME correspondence + residence) to stop. No word yet on how they will implement this, but my very simple suggestion would be to not allow enrollment in the appropriate correspondence course until after someone is no longer eligible for their residence PME course. Also, for those on the fence about the OLMP vs a TUIUIUIUI master's degree...in addition to AAD credit and 3-7 courses of ACSC correspondence completion...it offers another very significant benefit to those who go to ACSC in residence. PM for details.

No word yet on how they will implement this, but my very simple suggestion would be to not allow enrollment in the appropriate correspondence course until after someone is no longer eligible for their residence PME course. This is similar to how they could and should fix the AAD issue. Stop tracking it completely- on SURFs, DVBs, "ribbon charts", etc- until you've pinned on O-4. The handful of career fields that require one for their actual primary duty can keep them if they wish. Won't happen, of course... that would require the AF to acknowledge that some career fields are more equal than others.
DFRESH Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 that would require the AF to acknowledge that some career fields are more equal than others. Awesome phrasing. (not sarcasm, I plan to steal that phrase and use it)
Bergman Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 .. that would require the AF to acknowledge that some career fields are more equal than others. Hey, I just found out about 69 seconds ago that there is actually an AFI covering this sort of shit. Guess I will have to stop discriminating now. Practice bleeding (PME correspondence + residence) to stop. No word yet on how they will implement this, but my very simple suggestion would be to not allow enrollment in the appropriate correspondence course until after someone is no longer eligible for their residence PME course. ThreeHoler, that is a fantastic idea. Hopefully someone will listen.

This sounds the same as what was being sold at SOS last summer. Do not know if it has gotten closer to implementation, but if they are still talking about it, then there must be some traction.

Do not know if it has gotten closer to implementation, but if they are still talking about it, then there must be some traction. I know when I was at SOS in 13B the commandant was pushing hard for correspondence to be only open once you have passed your eligibility window had passed that way they don't have to have so many people on staff to cover both in res and correspondence folks. Sounded like the AU commander was backing it as well. Lets just hope that it really happens soon though. Edited April 23, 2013 by cragspider
Vertigo Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I feel like I just read an excerpt from one of my SOS Correspondence readings!! Either way, well said. The leadership at my Guard base is forcing us to use PT gear for all PT tests starting in October. This should probably go in the "WTF?" thread. For all the other Guard guys, is this coming your way? Been standard for the past couple of years at my last two guard bases.
herkbum Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Been standard for the past couple of years at my last two guard bases. How many Guard units have you been in? 1
Vertigo Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 How many Guard units have you been in? Yeah, bad wording. Just two.
Tonka Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 The SecAf's had enough... https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123346066
Jaded Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I honestly don't really know what the SECAF does. Is this bad? Does it matter?
17D_guy Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I honestly don't really know what the SECAF does. Is this bad? Does it matter? Review your ASBC notes
Champ Kind Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I honestly don't really know what the SECAF does. Is this bad? Does it matter? Same thing as a NAF? Review your ASBC notes Nerd. 2

amcflyboy Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) What he means is: "WHY THE F**K ARE YOU ACTUALLY READING THAT S**T?!?!?!?!?!?!" Back to your regular scheduled program. AMCflyboy, PM me for more information on this concept. I'll match you with a and my friend. I was really only kidding around, but as well put as it was, it still hurt my head!! Besides, I finished my SOS two years ago. Edited April 28, 2013 by amcflyboy 1
