She is a tube rat from the AWACs community, but she only has 900 flight hours. I am guessing at least 200 of that would be in basic flight officer and platform training. In that community one would think she would have thousands of hours. She has less than an average junior officer would have after their first tour.
Over 30 years on active duty. Looking at her bio, less than 3 years of that was operational. That explains only 900 hours of flight time. That kind of operational deficit would keep you from making O-5 in the Navy.
as a software contractor, i flew to job sites 2-4 times a week for 4+ years.
1.5 hr flights (many were 5 hrs+)
avg 4.5 hrs per week...
50 weeks/yr...
225 hrs/yr...
900 hrs in 4 yrs
can i apply for the position?
;)
It is disgraceful.
A black woman was recently promoted to a full four star admiral. I remembered a while back (six months-year ago maybe?) when her “promotion” was announced, I looked up the service record summary of all the three stars that were eligible, just to see who she was being jumped over.
I wish I had saved that post.
I think there were 10 or 15 of them, and the difference in experience when compared to her were stunning. I actually listed all of them in the post without names, including hers.
I asked the rhetorical question: just looking at the resumes, who would be the best and worst candidates. When looked at in that fashion, blinded, the top flag officers were apparent.
But even more striking was the gulf between the bottom resume (which was hers) to even the next one up.
Disgraceful. It is things like this that make me think of liberals as domestic enemies of the United States.
