lol AFSOC flight test. Exactly what you'd expect when you put the words "AFSOC" and "flight test" in the same sentence.

413 FLTS is 96th Wing (AFMC). The reporter was confused.

Yep. 413th (AFMC) and the 18th (AFSOC) FLTS are in the same building.

This but unironically, also they don't really understand the concept of writing a test plan and executing it as opposed to just flying the plane around a couple times to "make sure it works" and calling it good. And that's when they bother to test stuff as opposed to just direct fielding everything.

Granted I'm only speaking from experience with them in my little corner of the AF so for all I know on every other platform there's no problems and everyone is a consummate professional.

Well crap I broke my string of no weekend duties in 10 months by having to come in for 2 hrs today and drive the launch truck. I guess a CTO and a one day work week next week is a decent enough compensation.

11M's probably are overmanned, tbqh. Its not like we have any special skills besides managing to not be the 3% of dudes who failed UPT.

I kinda wish that 10 years ago I had the idea to just compile all the numbers published and press releases from AFPC and track that poo poo for myself because everything changes from month-to-month. It'd be nice to have dates and points where everything goes off the rails completely, just to be able to say "Yeah here's where they lied about X, here's where they changed the method of accounting for Y, and here's where they got caught making poo poo up about Z with no consequences."

Yeah that's not really accurate. Someone hosed up if they didn't take it back.

Are we talking about a CAC or the horizontal card?

I thought it was pretty obviously a CAC. I've never even heard of a horizontal card. Is that some secret officer bullshit to get into the backroom of the club on base where all the strippers and blow are?

No, it's what everyone who doesn't have a CAC gets. TAMP, IRR, retirees, dependents, guard/reserve who don't need/get computer access, etc. They hosed up if they didn't take the CAC back.

I went to leave and asked the guy if I need to turn my CAC in. And he said no they'd just turn it off on my separation date. How do I get the irr id? No one explained anything. I turned my forms in and the guy told me to leave.

You can get the IRR card at any MPF. It was part of our out-processing checklist, but it's reflected in DEERS.

DEERS was down the day I did final out, and I can't bring myself to go to a base to get an IRR ID card.
