Does anyone have any insight on current XO schedule/RDOs ? I was under the impression that for the most part XOs worked steady 4x12s with Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon RDOs. I hear that current XOs in PBBN, PBBX, PBQN are doing impact tours with steady Mon/Tues. Some housing XOs in PBMN dont even get steady RDOs. ...

Just out of curiosity..... why are captains restricted to that weird overtime schedule? Is it because they're afraid their salaries would be so inflated due to the amount of hours a captain normally works? Was it contractual as a giveback for something else? Just wonder the reason behind it...

Hey everyone, here are the tentative promotion dates for 2019. As always, keep in mind this can always be changed. However, they usually stick to to the schedule pretty damn well. Good luck.

Heard an unconfirmed rumor that due to DeBalsio wanting to lower emissions for city vehicles, they are looking to get rid of take home cars for XOs. Has anyone heard any such rumblings?

Anyone else notice that the legendary "Gamblor" vested out?? Hopefully he landed something great as he was always a scholar and a gentleman on this forum and in real life. God Bless you sir and thank you for all your years of service and insight on RS.

Disclaimer: I'm not a quantitative mathematician and some of these numbers might not be exact. This is from the data I quickly gathered and the best I could put together.

Congrats to all. Its a great feeling to take three tests and pass three tests. It also appears that All will get made with a list size of 266. Itll just take the full four years.

I know a guy who showed me his notification to report to DCAS on Friday for his vets points interview. Apparently he and a few other guys in the first class promoted off of the 2015 Lt exam got to rescind their vet points that they used on the Lt exam so that they can use them on the Capt exam. Makes sense becau...
