We have a DEPEX coming up. Kind of hard to do that when there is no AT money. Granted, the DEPEX is after March 4th, but it would be funny.
Our unit is not looking to waive any currency requirements. Are any of your units looking to show the pain or are folks just going to waive a lot of the requirements?

Our unit is supposedly forming a plan next week.
Also of note, we got the number of sim periods offered by our "new" sim contractor, CAE, cut back so much that it is mathematically impossible for us to get all of our required sim events done.
We could probably fund a small air force by cutting out most of the dozens of stupid compliance inspections/exercises required by our love of constantly changing and conflicting OIs. Also, do we really need HARM/SARM or baseops/weather at most domestic locations? I know I know, sacrilegious, but I know for a fact that many bases pay civilian weather contractors $50-$80K just to forecast (ie read off ADDS) weather we can all get by going online.
