  2. Yes it would. My dates last year were moved similarly to yours and ended up getting moved to February of this year. My IFS/UPT dates were Feb/April. Lots of studs got caught in the same situation... Find a job or start your masters.
  3. I was wondering what that black and yellow handle was for!
  4. Verizon has the best coverage on base. Haven't had any problems, I get 3 bars here in base housing and inside the squadron. I've heard AT&T is less than satisfactory and I can't say anything about the others.
  5. So do I. On party night I was on 9th go, and the fluids on concern ran out before I was even through debriefing!
  6. I went browsing through Gary's Gun & Pawn today, they have a nice store, more of a gun shop than a pawn shop, really. Very good selection of rifles, shotguns, and handguns from what I saw (new and used). Plenty of accessories to go with also. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=gun+pawn&hl=en&ll=33.530234,-88.428097&spn=0.048295,0.104628&sll=33.510556,-88.426294&sspn=0.048306,0.104628&t=h&gl=us&hq=gun+pawn&z=14
  7. It's tough to negate the forum's general opinion about IFS without coming off cocky. I had my moments of stupidity and slowness just like most others do, which is precisely why I figure I'm an average student who is in a position to make a broad statement about the program.
  8. I'll caveat what I'm about to say by seconding that any and all preparation will only serve to help and not hinder you at IFS and anywhere down the line. Disclaimer aside, I finished IFS within the last few months and aside from the initial academics and the first few flights, the supposed "fire hose" was not that challenging. There were plenty of those work load "valleys" at Doss as well. I was a zero-hour guy coming in, but pretty much breezed through the program and got seriously bored throughout the last two thirds of it. By that point I was spending about an hour a day doing mission planning and maybe another 30 minutes studying General Knowledge. The rest of your days you can pretty much plan on watching a lot of Hulu and playing volleyball with the other studs. I'm not god's gift to aviation by any means, but I didn't come close to hooking any rides either. My suggestion to all is to simply chill out, and don't fret about studying anything but Boldface/OL before you arrive. You will have ample opportunity to learn everything by heart when you are there.
  9. Is your next stop UPT? You've got to go through AETC to get your wings, might as well adopt the pain now
  10. cheers, steve. May you find "greener" pastures elsewhere
  11. Exactly. May 2011 Grad, Sep 30 EAD date, moved to Oct 8, then mid-september moved to Jan 28 2012. Unless they cut you actual orders, expect to be in the same situation.
  12. http://jasongwings.b...ney-begins.html A decent blog on IFS, more recent than Riddller's Edit: and yes the writer is a total douchenozzle, but if you filter that out it's a good play-by-play
  13. I didn't have the Officer Accessions number saved, but you can get it from the Total Force Service Center at 1-800-525-0102 if you have a reason to call OA.
