Stupid question time: In reading the MFR, it states "increase F-16 FTU throughput as much as possible by reducing the syllabus without reducing combat skills (paraphrased). So, is there fat during FTU? If so, why is it there and why has it been allowed? (I suspect not) If not, what will get cut and how can it not affect combat capability? Won't this method throw more of a training burden on the line F-16 squadron when the newbie shows up? If so, who gets blamed if the accident rate goes up?

Nothing. Because the plan will change again before you're done with UPT. It will probably change again next month at this rate. Just do your very best at UPT and put yourself in the position to get what you want if it's available. Don't waste brain cells at this point worrying about the rest because there is nothing you can do about it.

YGBFSM. When did that snowflake come down the pipe? If shoe clerks are so good at writing "guidance" tell them to write some. How god damn hard is it to wear a hat??

It only took him 42 years to get a job title with "Commander" in it.

In that case, I've got a helluva lawsuit against Brittney Spears and Lady Gaga!

Bio: http://www.af.mil/information/bios/bio.asp?bioID=7833 It's rare to see someone with two silver clusters on their longevity service ribbon. Respect. Sad to say, this is the ONLY guy who can figure out why I have a voucher that's gone unpaid for 7 months...and he's retiring. Looks like I'm screwed.

You won't hear anything from me. I think the USAF needs to take a good hard look at itself and really see if Physical fitness is the drop dead drag out fight that it really wants to make it. Ironically, most folks I know in the AF, if in an actual knock down drag out fight...would get crushed. But that is besides the point. Meet a basic standard in BMTS to get in the door, Let AFSCs set their own standards, and test each other with a test that is appropriate to their job, and let the CC (my vote would be Wg/CC, not sq), simply have the authority to say, "Hey, you look like shit, get to not looking like shit like yesterday, or I will crush you". Maybe ruck marches for cops, box of copier paper carry for MPF, case of beer carry for co-pilots, you know let it make sense. Won't ever happen.

Big blue has gotten inside of its own OODA loop.

Not even the CSAF could tell you that. No one will know. My class tried to figure out what drop we would get and who would get what; until we realized we were wasting our own time so we resorted to drinking more beers instead.
