This isn't new. When Dream On and I were baby FPs the story was the same. I cannot tell you how many senior folks told me, "### threat? We won't even take off if it is active." It is on you to develop yourself into someone who understands the bigger fight and how the 130 will be involved. From the AFSOC side of the house, I promise you it will be and AFSOC doesn't have the MCs to go it alone without the slicks. Be the FP who is in the vault, reading and prepping. Its not glamorous, hell, many days it won't be fun, but you'll start to set yourself apart and you may find yourself flying a bit more because you make yourself stand out as the dude who is trying to challenge themselves and those around them. Ask your ACs and IPs to incorporate more difficult threat scenarios, find your local patch and see if they can help, or at least point you in the right direction. If you are uninspired, then find or make your inspiration, if you are waiting for someone else to do it, you have a lifetime of disappointment ahead of you.
