Yeah I was referring to the $200. Definitely not letting that $200 go to waste.

Looking to do the same thing this year. How long did it take to get reimbursed from AMEX?

Can anyone provide an update on the 9s course, is it similar to URT hours 8-4? I'm trying to figure out if I need to make arrangements outside normal preschool hours for my daughter.

So my best understanding of training is: IFS - 7 weeks IRQ/RFC - 4 months (at Randolph) FTU - 5 months (at Holloman) Is it true that you can get Reapers straight out of school now?

Will URT be similar to UPT - PCS to Randolph and TDY to IFS, then come back for RIQ and Fundamentals course? My wife is a Physicians Assistant, trying to decide if its worth moving her and the kids to Randolph.

Excellent info HiFlyer, this is exactly what I need.

Can someone explain the purpose of an LRE and why we need it? I am writing a paper for school and need general info. Thanks

I was exiting an aircraft several years ago and hit my left elbow on the step. It caused me severe pain and partial numbness in my arm. Long story short, I ended up having to have surgery – a decompression of my left ulnar nerve. It did some good, but it has been 3 years since the surgery and still have problems with it. I would recommend getting it looked at by a neurologist. CB84 gave the best advice to prevent further irritation.

Most likely you would have to extend your graduation another year. If your goal is to be an officer, then do ROTC because OTS is a big gamble these days. If you have questions about it PM, I have extended my graduation for 2 years so that I could do ROTC.

Can some of the current RPA pilots provide quality of life info - work hours, deployment schedules, what are the aspects you like/dislike? I am considering going for an RPA spot next year in ROTC but want accurate information to base my decision on. Also, how easy/hard would it be to end up at Creech?

I think there are several reasons to want RPAs for some people. Low/no deployment rate, upcoming technology, some people arent medically qualified for pilot, etc. Does is suck for those guys who wanted to be a pilot and ended up with RPAs, yeah - but show me one person in the military who hasnt taken in up the ass at some point in their career. If you want things your way, go to Burger King, DONT JOIN THE MILITARY! Hopefully from here on out those who want to be pilots will be given the opportunity, and those who want to fly RPAs will also.
