Wow! Talk about a lot of ups and downs! I was in the same predicament. This whole new Perform to Serve BS, ERB and High Year Tenures for E-5's at 14 was killing me... I was on my last look for PTS and already submitted a claim for the VA and was ready to get out. Then oh look! You've been approved, so I got to submit an extension on my contract for another year to reach HYT. Then PTS came again and picked up again and then I made first and back on the chopping block for PTS yet again. Then it got approved and now I can stay in for 20 or unless I go "O."

2001-Present - Full Time Technician.

Since I've been deployed under the 332d Expeditionary Air Wing multiple times going back to the 1990's, I figure I'd claim a little of the red-tail's heritage.
Prior to that the SV was inspired by the A-7, the jet my unit had prior to the F-16.
