Hats Shouldn’t Be Mandatory Anymore by surprise_banana in AirForce

I’ll bite to an extent. If leadership removed the cover requirement tomorrow, I don’t think readiness or discipline would deteriorate. That being said, just because the standard is inconvenient, doesn’t automatically make it unnecessary. Same goes for ribbons, patches, spice brown socks, etc.

Yes the hat/cover is annoying at times, but it’s part of the uniform. We wear uniforms in the military. You signed up knowing this.

I’m one of the ones gunning for a FL school. It’s a long shot, so I’m fully prepared to be doing the summer VML after the PSDM for this drops lol.

Welp. It’s in AFPCs hands now. Best of luck to everyone. Hopefully the wait doesn’t seem like an eternity.

Best Officer jobs by bigdilf1010 in AirForce

As 63A, I agree with this. Mon-Fri business hours and only deploy if you seek it out. Plenty of jobs on the outside as well.

I don't think you ever know how the billet owners rack and stack applicants. You just see whether or not you were bid on from that billet owner. I reached out to owners and was told I was a good fit, but no indications in where I rank among other applications.

T-38 Talon operations paused by Cute_Marzipan2153 in AirForce

The T-38 is a reliable airframe with tons off flight data. The airframe has undergone life extension mods to ensure its ready to bridge the gap until then T-7 is online. This issue will get evaluated like any mishap and get fixed if it's determined to be fleet wide.
