Hours...I think its 500 in type if its your first/only fighter, or 100 in type if you have > 500 hrs (or maybe 750, something like that) in a different fighter.

From what I've seen in three MAJCOMs, experienced = Cat A/1 (published mins), but one sup or another usually caps you at 300-1 without OG waiver.  Obviously not the case in USAFE as Hacker pointed out and I'm sure there are other places as well.  In PACAF we got the waiver quite often due to shitty weather in that part of the world.  Of course that usually meant it was shit weather up to high enough we were getting terrible training anyways..."all Cat A's to the ops desk!" is not the call you want to hear from Top 3.  Gotta love the FHP meat grinder.

I remember doing TI at FL 41-45, at night with solid WX from 500 feet to FL 40 at Osan.  What a way to learn as a 1Lt.
