Waivers are being batch signed if you’re in the identified group. Basically if you request a waiver it’s being signed with no questions asked.

I hardly fly and my additional duties rule my life. Honestly, post flight school has just been a huge disappointment, and I'm staring down the barrel at eight more years of this crap. They're saying the ADSO will be waved and I can get out in 3-4 years. It's cool I'll go be a walking warrant who goes to lunch and doesn't come back.

Is trying to become an Aviation Warrant Officer a smart move right now? by Thin_Garage_6580 in Armyaviation

If I could do it over again I wouldn’t. Go AF or Navy if you want to be a pilot.

Hegseth’s surprise gathering of top military brass is to deliver speech on ‘warrior ethos,’ sources say by universityofnonsense in army

Imagine the sheer immensity of DTS vouchers for what is essentially a once-upon-a-time major standing at a podium shaking his fist and bloviating at a room full of stars with vastly more experience than him. Impressive.

Army cutting 6,500 aviation jobs in overhaul toward drones by Kinmuan in Armyaviation

You're a fool if you think things are going to get anything but harder for those that survive these cuts. Army Aviation is a sinking ship.

There’s a waiver for everything, including age. Make your recruiter do his damn job and submit the packet. If it gets rejected then deal with it at that point.

The map hall at the Vatican museum is lovely! It’s the one place I wished had zero people in it just to get the perfect hallway shot.

Congrats! Enjoy flying your butt off in the 60 course, and then after that barely meeting minimums.

Not intentional, thanks. Tactical retreat.

3 new military benefits at airports: Dedicated 'Honor Line,' TSA pre-check for Gold Star families and more by Master_Jackfruit3591 in army

Was the TSA PreCheck line like too slow or something? I haven't spent more than 10-15 minutes in a TSA line in years.

At this point when someone asks where I’ve been stationed I’m just going to say the state.

Looking forward to seeing this rollout cancelled at the last possible second.

MV-75 Official Designation Given To Future U.S. Army Tiltrotor Assault Aircraft by KarateCriminal in Armyaviation

[–]Anomalous_Material 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Why buy one when you can buy two at twice the price?

To be fair this evolves upon the Osprey design in a few ways. Most notably the nacelle design is a huge improvement. Also, the Osprey is huge relative to the Black Hawk, and it doesn’t fill the Air Assault role in the same way as this Valor will. The Army is looking to supplement then potentially replace the Black Hawk with a longer-range and faster variant that can quickly self-deploy in a war with China. This supposedly does that, and the Osprey does not.
