  1. Yep, and the dude they're putting up as the poster child deployed maybe twice before going the leadership route. I really dislike hearing people talk about that cube and hearing other people pretending that the cube is the smartest thing ever. It is all so fake.
  2. I'm sure I would have done better in UPT if only everyone in my class looked like me 🙄 A program like this is a racist's dream. +1 to the T-6 VR being useless. I got to play with the ones at Randolph. They might as well not have flight controls.
  3. A new LT that went through UPT Next recently showed up in my squadron. He got his wings with ~65 hours in the T-6. He finished "IFF" with two flights in the T-6 for a grand total of <70 hours flight time before going to a fighter FTU course. He failed out of that course and was sent to a FEB. He got a waiver and was reassigned to something that is not a fighter. 6 graduates form his UPT Next class went fighters, two failed out. He said that his class told those above them the whole time that they were not ready to graduate. They were told that if they had issues, they would be able to return to UPT for a T-38 course. That was not true, and now a dude with less than 100 hours flying has a FEB on his record. I have "flown" the VR "sims" these guys used. They are almost useless. They might as well not even have flight controls. This is about saving money and producing pilots faster. It is not about producing competent and safe pilots. What a joke.
