So if your class starts with "SV" that is your projected UPT date and the letters on the back end (for example: "LJ") are the first two letters of the base PAS Code which in this case would be Laughlin. Vance would be "VH" and Columbus "CO". Your IPT class will only have the main UPT base attached. Based on some folks in IPT currently, the two locations for Laughlin are Denton, TX and San Marcos, TX. Only way to find that out is when you are in processing/know someone there who can tell you what location is slotted for that date. This is where folks earlier in the thread mentioned taking "strategic" leave prior to IPT if you want a specific location that your primary UPT base sends folks to.

Geez sorry to hear you got rejected by your unit. Did they at least tell you where you were falling short? Your resume is long and impressive and you enlisted same as me with the intention of flying for your fighter unit so I'm a bit worried now at my chances with a much less impressive resume so far

T1 is 99% dead this year. Not sure if the civ path to wings still exists either. Might all be moving the direction of IPT -> T6.

Ah yes, the hardcore fucking of a... **checks markets**... 4% drawdown. From astronomical highs. Like the economic disaster from Ukraine? Or the social catastrophe that followed Maduro's capture? Or the military disaster of the summer attacks on Iran? How many times does the philosophy have to be wrong before you question the philosophy itself?

Probably What would / could we do if it was disclosed? Rhetorical and just putting myself into the shoes of US leadership right now, I’d probably suppress it. If any of the crew were killed, different story. I know one of the crew was injured on ejection (ejection itself has physical consequences too), I’d tell the Kuwaitis to be prepared to quietly and amply compensate them after hostilities are over. The primary objective is to win the war, military operation, collapse the regime, etc… I hate it, it is morally compromising and not a good but necessary thing for where we are now.

Pretty sure it’s done as the T-1 is no longer training students. But I’ve been out of the game for a while so I could be wrong.

Is the program still running? Tried searching and the most recent thing I could find was a graduating class in 2024 UPT 24-14 and XPW 24-15 Graduation > Air Education and Training Command > Article Display My neighbor's kids a pilot. And we talked about him possibly joining the 920th and the Accelerated Patch program.

Air Force waivers are (almost) always approved if you meet the waiver requirements. For LASIK this means, 20/20 acuity, 20/50 low contrast acuity, normal stereopsis, etc. It's really pretty routine today, although your pre-op refractive error is a little unusual for LASIK. Best of luck.

To include Lt LeMay.

Fairly certain @M2 gave Eddie Rickenbacker his first intel brief.

Hello, I'm currently in the Navy and was disqualified from being a pilot due to my pre-lasik refractive error (+4.25/+3.5 sphere). I'm currently looking into other options, including the Air Force if I'm able to obtain a waiver. According to the most recent waiver guide I could find, Lasik is waiverable for pre-op errors up to +5.00 diopters. I had Lasik 5 years ago and have been 20/20 since with no complications (no flaps, haze, etc.), so I've got that going for me. Dumb question, but does anyone have a feel on how likely I am to get a waiver, or will I just have to gamble and hope the board is feeling generous?
