Big changes to officer recruiting

You can set up WAMHRS notifications at the lowest level for your community specific HAZREPS by creating accounts for the ready room, and they'll get the email just like you do.

Again, this assumes that your command thinks this is a good idea and that ASOs shouldn't be gatekeepers. Also cue the incessant moaning over "all these emails."

 

[KBayDog]

The good news is the information is there and it's being put out (giggity!) but the information systems to access it are jealously guarded and not especially easy to use even when you have access.

1. "I have a secret." Very popular these days.
2. Yet another one of our great ideas (ala NMCI, TIMS, FWB, DTS, DPS, etc.) that were well-sold (hell, in theory, they're seriously good ideas), but punted into the stands in execution.

There's a larger argument to be made here about whether or not we really have that whole "special trust and confidence" thing, but I digress...

C'mon, squorch, quit being so negative.

Wouldn't a better system make HAZREPS available to anyone (aviation-types), at any time, without having to have to go through an ASO to get them?

I'm not arguing the system...

It's not lost on me that you just called yourself a good ASO.

Some of us have common sense. In case you didn't see the HAZREP I was referring to, it was a Navy 60 crew that penetrated a VPOTUS TFR. It was significant becuase they had checked the NOTAMS and TFRs before their flight, and there was nothing. No NOTAM/TFR was published because the Secret Service requested that the FAA not do so in order to keep his visit on the D/L. So I briefed the HAZREP, and went over a quick "what do we do if there is a TFR that isn't published" discussion.

Yup... word to the wise, hindsight being 20/20 and all that, tfr.faa.gov is not your friend when it comes to popup TFRs (pres, vice-pres, forest fires, etc.).

Was that in SC?

Affirm.

It sounds like the South Korean "Roving Donut of Death".

And now, an official nomination for "Threadjack of the Month," with bonus points for the heavy use of acronyms.

If I had to say I've learned one thing about the military from the very beginning days of "Just exploring the possibility of serving in the Armed Forces" to today, it can best be summed up like this.

Not sure how an unpublished/unpromulgated TFR serves anyone. But hey...I'm not in the Secret Service.

Eventually they start reusing acronyms. PCL, for example.

It doesn't. And to be honest, it was probably one of the better written HAZREPs I've read in a LONG time. The comments from the various commanders were pretty well written as well.
