Voluntary Return to FUN!! Adam Rants...
In this episode, Adam Uhan discusses the Air Force's voluntary retiree return to service program, reflects on their personnel management history, and explores reasons for early retirements from the guard reserve. He suggests improvements for the Air Force's future personnel, emphasizes the importance of teamwork, and critiques the voluntary return to active duty program. The episode wraps with TPNX and pilot network updates.
Key Points
- Adam expresses skepticism about the Air Force's Voluntary Retired Return to Service program, questioning the appeal for pilots who've already left the service to regain control of their careers.
- The program is seen as potentially preying on those in need and does not seem to offer the control or benefits that would make a return to active duty attractive for retired pilots.
- Adam emphasizes the importance of mission-driven work and leadership over management to improve satisfaction and retain skilled personnel within the Air Force.
Were you tired of having some modicum of control over your life? Sick of the time connecting with family, hobbies, new career, or company? If you made it back to the cockpit, did you realize that working a desk job in the mindless bureaucracy of the military staff was truly your 'life fit'? Well do I have good new for you!! You can go back to your active duty Air Force life at no cost to you or the DoD!
This Air Force Times article was the catalyst for a quick op-ed episode on the insanity of the program. Thinking more on it, I am not surprised; a few might go back because of extenuating circumstances or trouble adapting to civilian life. It's an even more cruel program when thought about that way...but that is just, like, my opinion man. What is your's?
