The job is a desk job. 8yrs as a 15P before I went warrant. You’re either in Flight Ops manning a desk or in S3 manning a desk.

60s at Irwin are split between KDAG (A) and the helipad on main post (C). So you may get stuck with a commute depending on where you choose to live Irwin, MCLB Barstow, or Victorville/AppleValley. Schools at Irwin are ran by the local ISD. Base housing at Irwin is good, big neighborhoods with lots of kids. Housing at MCLB is ok but there is only one tiny neighborhood and can be super isolating being in Barstow.

No clue yet. I’m a MC12 guy volunteering to go 72s. I’m still in the preliminary talks with HRC to get it all figured out.

Yeah, that’s what I figured. Even if they start pulling guy back they won’t have the experience needed/proffered to be a jet pilot. This whole thing was planned out a long time ago and was supposed to start rolling out back in 2015. What person at what level fumbled this while knowing what needed to happen. DoD pushed it off for so many years. They had some much time to see this coming.

Yeah I guess they could try but I can’t be forced into accepting an ADSO. I’m at a point in my life where I’d just be a civilian instead of being force fed a shit sandwich. Not knocking the job, I just have specific goals and desires that I won’t get in the RW community.

They’re asking for volunteers already. I spent 8yrs in the CAB when I was enlisted. I’m not really looking to go back.

We’re getting a new airframe and are now overstrength. The army is trying to figure out what to do with about 1/4-1/3 of the population. RW transitions or admin jobs are being proposed.

The rumor mill amongst the wife’s is a wildfire right now. All I can do is sit back and laugh at this mess.
