    like the PJ bonus or something similar???

    you get half of the bonus when you graduate the ENTIRE pipeline course, not just indoc. you get the other half paid to you in small amounts over the remainder of your inital enlistment.

    at least thats how it was when i signed up...

    WHAT??? I was a crew chief at Tyndall too...in the 43rd. How long have you been there? I left in 2008. I became a navigator through OTS and now I'm at Offutt in NE. Crew chiefing ain't easy but the entire crew gets screwed so your always in good company...its the slackers that get the breaks in the snack bar. AF is a great life, you just got to motivate yourself sometimes but that's with life too.

    yeah man, you're AF but it's more like you're in the army lol

    i'm looking at possibly going ALO when i'm done with school. ALO is basically the officer version of TACP... we'll see.
