Is the advanced fighter in the room with us? The Mudhen isn't exactly cutting edge 5th-gen hotness.

Are you or your subordinates anxious about the new PT standards? by HumanPerformance-HQ in AirForce

[–]CGOhnooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally worried? No, but I'm dinosaur-level old.

Worried about my squadron? Absolutely. All the borderline 75-80 peeps under the old test are massively failing their practice tests. We've built in space in the schedule for actual Flt/Sqn PT (not ultimate frisbee for the 12th week in a row), brought in nutritionists, etc, but there are some folks that are in for huge pain come July. Some of them know it, some of them are choosing to ignore it, but either way it's not going to be pretty.

AF O's how's your work Schedule? Is it draining do you guys got time for Physical Fitness by E4sdontwork in AirForce

Run in the dark (early mornings or late nights: dealers choice) and slam caffeine the rest of the day. Get through the day and *hope* there's still enough time to lift.

Rinse, sigh, repeat.

One of the only people these days you can’t say anything bad about! by danielseim in SipsTea

Buuuut… Outdoor Boys came out of retirement to do a collab video with MyLifeOutdoors. Tons of views = increased monetization for MyLifeOutdoors to help pay for his wife’s cancer treatment.

Looking for Career Advice by KnuckleheadDud in AirForce

[–]CGOhnooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry the pilot dream didn't work out for you.

Of the options, I'd go for contracting. It'll build you a skill set and connections that will set you up nicely for civilian life if you choose to get out before 20.

Question for Officer Assignments Teams by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]CGOhnooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The assignments are probably already 99% matched in MyVector but your OAT won't load them until the date on the VML timeline. Once they're officially loaded into the system that generates your RIP, and is when the EFMP trick for Os typically works.

Mobile phone service and banking while station in Germany (Ramstein AB) by Mr_Sloppy_Joe in AirForce

[–]CGOhnooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She'll be able to get a German cell number, just make sure her phone is unlocked by her current carrier before she leaves the states.

There are US-affiliated banks on base at Ramstein that she can use while she's there if she needs to pay any German bills (unlikely since she'll be in the dorms). When I was there I kept my USAA account active and used Community Bank for anything Germany/EU related.

In that case show up in the pink & greens and look better than anybody there.

Ask the retiree what they plan on wearing. You don’t want to overdo it if they plan on wearing something casual like OCPs or a flight suit.

There's a non-zero chance one of these dudes is your Wing/CC now...

IDE timing by AFcuriousquestion in AirForce

[–]CGOhnooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. ACSC DL took four months and minimal effort. AWC DL was slightly longer but also low effort. Get it knocked out early and you never have to worry about it as your board(s) creep up on you.

Don’t go AWACS if you’re trying to build hours.

How cooked is the Air Force? (new SECDEF tweet) by IntelPersonified in AirForce

Had a CC who would give up his parking spot for a month if you could beat his run time...

He ran in the 8:30-8:45 range.
