Funny isn't it when someone is about to slam you they always add "With all due respect"
A freind of mine once told me that whenever I use that phrase.....stop talking. Nothing good will come of it.
Don't bring fleet values into the forum. Treat the audience like they will one day work for you because they probably will.
I believe that the fleet gouge is integral to helping the target audience on this forum. Sometimes it helps to see a little farther down the pipeline so things make sense now. As a former RAG instructor, I truly believed that I was making my next combat wingman every flight. There was more of a need for mentoring and less need for "harassment package", which does occasionally have it's place. I hope that mentoring continues throughout a career. Why contain this forum to the very basics and standard info found in the written regulations?
BTW: That JOPA crap is for the birds. It never kept me out of hack.......no, I'm not perfect but I've learned how to survive!
The JOPA should be a state of mind and fraternal group of support. It won't keep you out of hack (I, too, know this firsthand), but it might get you the gouge to keep from getting there in the first place.
