Maybe the AF is trying to pick up some of these guys that they sent to non-fighters during the whole "no A-10s (they are getting retired) No vipers (the D models are broken), few fighters because the B courses are all very backed up" phase. And by the way we (the AF) are already in a shortage but lets only look right now and not at tomorrow when the shortage is bigger and the trained T-38 guys straight out of UPT elsewhere. (see 15-01 to 15-03 at all UPT bases and ENJJPT)
