Oh man, a YouTube video as a requirement? Instead of hero shots, we have hero videos now? 😂

I went Warrant.

Can anyone give their take on what this will mean for AFRC fighter squadrons sponsoring UPT candidates in the future?

As someone who has spent roughly the past five years, like you, working toward a pilot slot, I'm pretty confident in saying that has been your bigger investment of the two. Your situation with your girlfriend right now is clouding all of that, but try to remember what it was like pursuing that pilot slot and never really knowing if you would one day get your shot. Remember the day you found out you finally got your slot. These guys have all touched upon it already, but I'll throw in a couple more points. I heard/read a story about someone that SIE'd from UPT because his wife/girlfriend could not handle it, too dangerous, etc. Then it didn't even work after that, they broke up/got divorced. You don't want to be that guy. If the two of you are meant to be, you'll find a way to make it work, and that includes going to UPT. If not, there are other women out there. Millions to be exact. Some less controlling than she is, and some more controlling. But don't say she is the only one you will ever want to be with, nobody's perfect. It sounds like you didn't date anyone after you went on that date with her in college... that right there is a troubling statement. You couldn't move on, even though she did. I'm pretty sure if you would've at least dated other women since then, you would see what we're all trying to tell you. The right girl for you isn't going to ask you to give up your dream of becoming a pilot.

Also #9 in your urbandictionary link.

We have some of those in the Swamp, always brings a smile to my face.

Summers, you been drinking during the day again?

This thread reminded me of something I read in Eye of the Viper by Peter Aleshire, page 46. Talking about the Viper's wing area, to quote:

I'll keep Patrick in mind if I'm ever out that way. The BX down in Homestead wouldn't even let me in as a civilian, is it like that at Patrick and elsewhere?

According to the Jeremiah Weed website, you cannot get it anywhere in Florida. I bought the last bottle at a store in Ohio a couple months ago and eventually got it back to Florida with me where it currently rests in the mini-fridge freezer for the day I get a UPT slot or turn 30
