I sure hope so.  I deserve the extra money that another star would provide.

I will say this: for all of you complainers out there:  seriously?  You are complaining Uncle Sam took away your pittance $50K/yr to sign your life away for the next 12 years?  Get over yourselves you premadonna punks!  Get out of my Air Force and go make your money elsewhere.  We don’t need you, and we don’t want you.  But please, for the love of Pete, stop complaining about missing out on table scraps.  It’s so unbecoming of an officer.

Dude, you are more full of shit than a Christmas goose.

Don’t hurt your arm grabbing for that whopping pay raise.  $2-3k a month difference from 1 star to 4 star.  YGBSM.  That’s like…one extra premium pay day at the airline. Might have 2 hours of block time.  This isn’t the flex you think it is.

I do agree about the bonus complaints. Not offering a bonus will save a lot of bros from themselves.  Run fellas, run!!

Did the bonus pause only affect AD? The ANG Bonus page hasn’t been updated.

I haven’t heard anything regarding ANG pause. Which would make the whole thing that much more laughable. The ANG has been kicking AD’s ass on the bonus for years.

It's all about the retirement pay.

Not sure if joking.  I’ve been off on other adventures for a while now so just getting back to BOps….not sure I’ve seen anything from Chang lately that convinced me he is actually a GO.  Pretty sure I wouldn’t be all that impressed if he actually is, as I’m somewhat cynical of most GOs these days based on my first-hand observations.  Perhaps there is at least insight to be gained…”what are those idiots thinking!?!”…sorta thing.

Valid.

General Chang is a real account, and has stars on his shoulders. He is a personnelist. Bashi Chuni is Chang’s troll account where he pretends to be a pilot.

9 year bonus pushed my ADSC to 6 months past 20 year retirement date. Anyone have any luck with ADSC waivers these days? No good excuses, just looking to finish right at 20. TIA

You will be denied by a civilian at AFPC within 3 days of asking unless you have unusual circumstances dictating a closer examination.

DoD Skillbridge is your friend.

My feeling is that nowadays no waivers are entertained at any level bc they gotta pump those numbers up. However, it doesn’t hurt to ask with a good story!

I believe this is just AFRC.

Guard has a $30k/1 yr option, which is awesome.

Two questions. 

1.  What is SELRES ART?  Is that different from the bonuses technicians already get from the technician system?  We didn't have any pilot technicians left my last few years, so I can't remember how that all worked. 

 

2. TR Bonus.  Are your TR's getting bonuses for just staying in as part-timers, or do they have to go on orders to get that?  If it's just to be part time, well played AFRC.  There were rumors about in the in the ANG for years, but it never came to fruition during my time.   We did have one thing that came out, but the requirements they slapped on it made it so one 1 or 2 of our DSG pilots were eligible.  Basically, if you were prior-E, you were screwed.

The only problem being, you have to go on orders to get it! .  There aren't enough of your unicorn deals to go around lol.
