If there hasn't been a good argument made in the past for breaking us out of the LAF for promotion, this guy just made one.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

17D_guy Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Fantastic article, well thought out and supported by facts. It will therefore be dismissed out of hand by out General Officers, because it's "not how they did it." 1
Magellan Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Mike is a legit brain and able to call a spade a spade in public journal forums better than anyone I know. That said I just wished he had pulled the tanker/airlift bros into the fray with the representation they deserve.
Clark Griswold Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Excellent article - succinctly and clearly described the intersection of admin process worship with the quiet corruption of clique Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
guineapigfury Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 If it's any consolation to Reaper guys not making the cut for that second look, there are much better opportunities on the outside right now.

tkc10chief Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Is today the day for the O-4 promotion results and after what time are notifications typically allowed? Edited July 5, 2017 by tkc10chief
Duck Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Is today the day for the O-4 promotion results and after what time are notifications typically allowed? I have heard no words and mypers hasn't been updated since end of June. Anyone else gotten any intel?Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums 1

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums Duck, I could have swarn that I saw it updated at the end of the month to say early to mid Jul, which we all know that just means some time later but expect it to shift again. But I'm off now and my gaf factor is about pegged with this now since they have been dragging their lovely feet on getting this out to us. 2

Not at work or I'd look up the timeline on mypers. Which would mean AFPC needs to hurry (assuming they have it by now) so commanders know who needs a PRF written.

Which will make for sure interesting quick turns on guys who will sadly probably be passed over again since there hasn't been any time to fix anything that could help make them stronger. After this board in dec the next one will be in a year. Don't know why they delayed the 05 board a year only to speed up the following 4 year group boards. They did delay the 04 Lt Col boards though.

daynightindicator Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Our functional told us the '08 Maj board results will release at 0900 CDT on 11 July. I don't know if that's the public release or not. That was the only info. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums 1

matmacwc Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Is the writing on the wall for a bloodbath? Me thinks it might be.
nsplayr Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Released at 9 on the 11th humm? 9/11? Inside job? Aliens? 3

Same reason AFPC dropped one fighter per class, couldn't figure out B-course slots and 5 years later we have a fighter pilot shortage : gross incompetence 2

Could it be they delayed the boards due to the long timelines from notification to pin-on, but now O-4s are bailing out as fast as they can and USAF needs to replace them?
daynightindicator Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Got the same from the bomber functional. Same functional. Best in the USAF. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums 3
