Track Selects and Assignment Nights

Great post.
But it’s obvious heavy guys and fighter guys think differently. And that’s fine, I like the idea that those guys are so driven to kill bad guys. Makes me sleep well at night and I appreciate it. While I’m in I’ll enjoy my support roll flying cargo and contributing however I can.

Except I know a ton of fighter guys who jumped at white jets to make a better life for their family. Bottom line is that people are motivated by different things. If the AF was smart they would try to leverage what motivates people instead of trying to fit everyone into a standard mold of what they THINK should motivate people.

Let's not forget that the pilot crisis (according to the AF) started when fighter guys started quitting after being away from home at rates barely approaching what MAF guys were at a decade ago. And many of them are quitting during the most trigger happy period in the last 15 years. To go to the airlines.

If a patriotic group of guys and gals are looking to go be FAIPs or regular UPT IPs to strengthen airline resumes, that's a critique on our foreign policy and military leadership, not on their devotion to service.

C-12 yokota??? Isn't that an embassy gig? Now they dropping straight to upt grads?

Not an embassy gig, it’s a straight up white jet assignment, kind of like C-21s.  They mostly just shuttle the 3 star around Japan.

Drops they are a changing.

Copy on changing drops. But from what I had seen from the T-38/EN side of the house were more tactical heavies, i.e. C-130s, C-17s, MC-130s. There might have been the odd KC-135 in the past, it's just the RC-135 stood out.

Hope the newb enjoys it. Omaha's not a horrible place to live...provided you stay west of the river.

Sheppard has been used as the shock absorber in years past. Feast or famine there.

Been wrong all this time! What are the locations for C-12 white jets?
