He said he needs to get rid of 100 from A-pool, and so each cut at inspection equals a pink slip, and the first 100 to get 3 pink slips are gone. And thanks sooner, but I didn't mean shut down the commissioning sources. I meant there are some december grads who have yet to report but are soon on their way, thus in the pool that needs to get rid of 100. If you are gonna downsize, downsize the ones that you DIDN'T already spend thousands to move to Pensacola.
But you see, that would make way too much sense
Seriously though, this problem has been a long time coming IMHO. When my senior class selected back in fall of '05 they were already giving out SNA/FO slots like they were candy. I had 3 classmates who didn't even list aviation in their top 2, and they were picked up anyway.....one of them got SNA and didn't even list aviation at all (and had neither taken the ASTB nor passed a flight physical) 
From everything I have seen, this has continued since then, and was happening even before that. Perhaps "they" were predicting something that didn't happen, or more likely, there is a reason for this beyond our ENS/JG level of comprehension. I do know that most of the IP's I have talked to in the advanced VT have said that the VT's aren't pumping out new aviators nearly fast enough for the demand. Something to think about...
But you see, that would make way too much sense
See MIDNJAC makes more sense...don't even give out the slots. It's better to stop it at the source then to tell some dude who gets a chance at his dream and then gets told "well sorry".
Or
Make it harder to commission. You should at least be given enough rope to choke yourself if you do get commissioned and selected for a pilot/nfo slot.
That's all I will say. I don't have a dog in this fight, I was just commenting on Aggies short sightedness.
They're not going to, at least for this. Go get a handle of bourbon from the NEX while you are there getting your uniform items and refrain from hunting things like spotted owls or humpback wales and you will be just fine

What the heck are "core frames"???
Good question! I've seen many different spellings: corframs, corfams, chloroframs, chlorofams, corframes......anyone know the truth?
BTW I thought you were being sarcastic and making fun of his spelling, but if not, he's talking about the shiny shoes.
Either way, buy leather and make em shine. Nothing says lazy like ^^ IMHO.
Well, just got back from the afternoon inspection. It turns out 6 or 7 people didn't even show up. So in the LT's eyes, that counts as 3 automatic pink sheets and they are going to be sent to a board. Overall, I think there were 3 or 4 of us who have to get their pink sheet Monday from him. Luckily my inspection went really quick, it seemed like he didn't glance over my uniform too much as I was able to make him laugh while he was inspecting me.
By the way, did any of the winged posters here do their primary at Vance? I could end this whole madness for myself right now by volunteering for Vance and getting out of A-Pool pretty quick. Since nobody wants to go to Vance, if you volunteer, you can set up your own class-up date.
I went there...sounds like A Pool is training a whole new batch of Vance-ees! A pool is the pre-k to vance's kindergarten games. I liked the plane though, do a search on vance and you'll find a fairly long post on the ups and downs of the place from yours truly.
