I was reading in the air force times we were going to have 13 pay days in 2011 because they were going to change the date we are going to get payed in 2012. They said we were going to get paid 12 times in 2012. I have read the statement over and over and i don't understand it. I know we are not going to get any extra money. Can anybody explain?

I heard a rumor that my old unit 181AS TX ANG had an aircraft shot up yesterday in Taji, Trashcanistan. Holed the wings, no word on injuries or aircraft status. Bob

The 200th C-130J aircraft was delivered by Lockheed Martin yesterday. The HC-130J has a SN of 5633 and registration 09-0108. The last few deliveries have been out of sequence, as 5632 (USMC KC-130J 168075), 5636 (130604), and 5637 (130605) have been delivered in recent weeks. 5634 (09-0109) was the 200th C-130J to come out of final assembly. Edit:The HC-130J, the first for the US Air Force’s Air Combat Command, recorded another significant milestone as the 1500th C-130 delivered to the U.S. Government.

Ladies and Gents, Just wanted to post that the 29th Weapons Squadron (C-130H part of it anyway) has moved to St Joseph, MO. I've been in the WIC now for about 2 years and I volunteered to come up from Little Rock and help get it going. It's supposed to go full time to the guard in a couple of years, but it is great for this area to have it and for the AF to keep it as well. We just completed out first syllabus sortie up here, so the ball is rolling now. I only have about 3 years left until 20 and this assignment will take me there, so we'll see what happens. I've been chasing this old bird around the last few years and it's sad seeing it roll off into the histor…
