Voluntary Return to FUN!! Adam Rants...

The Pilot Network Podcast

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.

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?
