  3. I’m following the process and will keep you guys updated. Honestly knowing the guy, I think he’d be spun up to be an FTU IP pretty quick and do it better than some of the foreigners we have to spin up. I wouldn’t think we’d waste 6 months TX/IPUG for 1.5 yrs of instruction…..then I realize it’s the USAF so economics make no sense. I’ve seen worse.

  5. A guy who retired a few years back, and is flying airlines applied because he is just missing flying fighters. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  6. Fighters are a source of pride. Most NATO allies need more support aircraft but they don’t look good at airshows. Some allies are buying shiny new F-35s and still using the missiles they bought from the 90s. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  7. Next time post your situation so we can guide you based on specifics. Sounds like you are not a cadet so your situation probably has some specifics people on here can help with. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  8. Nobody is hating on you kid. But if this is how you react to a little ball busting on a forum, trust me you don’t want anything to do with the fighter community. 1. Your dream of flying fighters is like 96.69% of every other kid going to UPT. If everyone could just walk into a guard sq and get a fighter, everyone would do it. 2. Yes, I’d accept the CSO slot then work up. If you couldn’t get to UPT on AD, the guard reserves is much more competitive unless you are “special”. 3. I cannot tell you how many times we see young Gen Z types l, some with golden resumes, internal recs and a lot of experience think they can just show up and get a job to find out that 69 people are competing for 1 spot. Good luck. Again, nobody hating, if you need genuine advice go ahead and DM me, but I sarcastically replied to your post as I would a student fighter pilot. Grow some thicker skin, lose all Sense of entitlement. Reach out for real advice. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  9. Well you clearly deserve a fighter so if it looks like you gotta compete on active duty, you should just go to your guard unit of choice and tell them you want the first UPT slot available which fits your schedule. Make sure you request Sheppard so you don’t have to be around non fighter types. I’d hate you to be dissuaded by as the big blue does. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

  11. Rumor on the fighter street is sq/cc majors…field promotion to Lt Col. Gotta compete with direct hire to airline captain. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  12. I’m an 01 guy, just here to fly, most of my peers left long ago for guard/reserve or airlines. The few that stayed AD are pinning on full bird Col and (most) are the types you expect when competition is scarce. A few good ones who are looking to punch. God help us.

  13. Why does the USAFA even exist anymore? It’s an expensive way to make an officer and I can’t see any notable difference in quality between the rotc/ots/academy grads. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  14. Thats gonna get the black EBT crowd and a few guilty white libs and bomb….its failure will be attributed to “racism” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
