When I shot "expert," my tent got a case of iced sodas. Something to consider...

Okay, I'm confused... I was at the USS Constitution once upon a time, and they had a change of command scheduled... I thought this was the formal ceremonial uniform of the Navy.

Sadly, the AF is WAY ahead of everyone here... There's a pin for EVERY single field...

A serious BZ to him!! From my friends who have earned their SWO pins...the work they described to earn it...WOW!!

Much more than that...his invention was crude, but highly effective for what it was. Antony Fokker took it apart and then improved it immeasurably, changing aerial combat forever.

But do you know he was, and what's his claim to fame? (Hint: it's NOT tennis)

There's a reason "Wright-Patterson AFB" has the name "Wright" in it. Hint: its location.

As TotallyNotTheIG said above: "So even if 17Ds could be released, many wouldn’t want to be. Until the career field evolves to value academic and educational service on par with leadership and deployment roles, these billets will continue to be seen as professionally risky." I can't speak for...

I'll "hunt" around to see if those are available and not being "held" by classification. And before you ask, that's an RR decision, and I'm sure it comes from higher. They do release that, I just don't know the precise timing.

Regarding numbers... Don't put too much into any of it. The numbers I gave were delivered by USAFA. Now, did they explain their verbiage? No. They said, "XXXX qualified candidates, YYYY offers, ZZZZ in-processed." I'm sure they'll further break it out, and we'll see something similar to the...

For tonight, for all those scientific types wondering about the many varied colors of fireworks. Here is a poster to explain what makes them.

I'm a firm believer in the laws of physics. I recall the cuts of the 1980s...I was a "combat-ready" pilot...and our cuts were such that I flew, in a good month, about nine hours of flight time. That's, IMHO, barely enough to stay proficient in just flying and operating a highly complex...

All I can say is that "they" reported this. But, simple math says it's completely possible. 535 MOCs... x 15...8,025 just there. Unlimited in other categories... "Silver Bullets"

100% correct!!!
