Interesting detail I noticed in the Battlefield 2024 trailer, but VMFAT-501 is a training squadron, meaning DICE chose to use the one squadron in the USMC that wouldn't actually see any combat!

Squadron 501

So I decided to make this post to describe what role I would be interested to take in TEST Squardon.

During the earlier days of Planetside, when Test Outfit was pulling a platoon a night and had more than enough numbers to spare during official ops, I ran a small little group called Test 501st Spec Ops squad. This was a small group of people (usually peaking at around 5 people during an operation of 80 people or more.) This tiny little group used irregular tactics, mobility, and superior strategy to defeat enemies with superior numbers. (I would gladly write war stories of things we did)

I would like to (if allowed by our glorious leader, Zero-G) run a similar group in Test Squardon. I would like to call this group Squadron 501 and destroy enemies that outgun or outnumber us with superior tactics.

Important AFI's For Every Airman To Know

I’ve decided to waste my time (jk) by listing out direct references to important AFI’s that I believe any airman should be familiar with.

EDIT: I've put in numerous additions from others' comments, and thanks to a few who dropped a lot of great info. If there are more that should be added feel free to let me know! Additionally, these are the baseline AFI's. Some are hundreds of pages. This is just to help save time locating your resources.

Another important piece of knowledge: You know how some sections of AFIs have (T-1), (T-2), etc? That's a waiver tier, and denotes who's allowed to make an exception to that rule. But what do they mean?

  • T-0 = HAF
  • T-1 = MAJCOM/CC
  • T-2 = MAJCOM/CC but can be delegated to first GO in CoC
  • T-3 = Wing/CC but can be delegated to Squadron/CC

Assignments - AFI 36-2110

PT Regs - AFI 36-2905 - NOW DAFMAN 36-2905

Dress and Appearance - AFI 36-2903 (I think the update has been sitting in finances ticket system)

(Did you know there is mention of when Alcohol in uniform is okay?)

Leave - AFI 36-3003

(Huge thing to take away is that leave ending on a weekend is not chargeable. Don’t waste your days taking those days off unless you are outside of your local area)Additionally mentions a half day of leave is authorized and is non-chargeable if put in LeaveWeb on the day before your leave begins.

EPR’s and OPR’s - AFI 36-2406

Retraining - AFI 36-2626

Tongue and Quill - AFI 33-337

Tongue and Quill - AFI 33-337

The Tongue and Quill is an Air Force Handbook (AFH), not an AFI. Key difference being AFIs are legally binding orders; AFHs are (on their own) guidelines.

...though don't think this is an excuse to tell your boss "It's not a rule!" Because AFMAN 33-326, Preparing Official Communications, which is binding, says "Use AFH 33-337 for formatting rules on Official Memoranda." - Thanks u/xthorgoldx

For shits and giggles - AFI 91-101 - don’t poke nukes

The Enlisted Force Structure - AFI 36-2618

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
