I have a couple of falcon pilots in my unit. They have nothing bad to say about the CG. My take was how many of your peers in the AF a fed up with something and get out early (as am I). You almost never here of a Coastie separating before retirement, something must be going right over there.
I was told that the CG is currently around 80 pilots undermanned and by 2011 expects to be 140 behind. Not sure how accurate these numbers are, but I was told by a CG O-6 that they are "critically manned" for fixed wing.
Anyways...Anxiously awaiting the decision board results. If anyone heres any news please post it.
Good luck with your board. If you want fixed wing try to fight for the Herc transition, because it will keep you in the cockpit longer. The Falcon's are retiring sometime in the near future and the CASA's are not even close to being operational yet.
