That said, The Lukewaffe out in PHX has calmed down quite a bit. I guess we are waiting to see who the next Maverick is. The T-birds 7-jet fella was getting pretty close…

Flew with a retired 1-star over a year ago and he was great to fly with. Mellow, non-presumptuous, and he bought beer.

Me: I retired from the Army when I realized I was never going to get my second star.

CPT: Dude, you were a one-star?

Me: No. I was a warrant officer. It just took me a while to realize that I was never going to get my second star. 😂

Hahaha man you’ve reframed my perspective. I should have retired about 17 years ago.

Curious as a new hire what bases are available by the time training is complete. I understand BWI and ORD are typical. Are there others that are likely to be available within say the first year? Understand the churn that’s ongoing from displacements so this is a little tricky to say with certainty. Appreciate any input.

ORD isn’t a base and there’s endless, recent information on the forum. It’s asked twice a week.
