My wife and I have been on the waiting list for a few weeks now (#13 today, 30-60 days?) and will be at Vance on July 9th. They said we'll be waiting to move in by living in lodging bldg 713, a small TLF, I think. We also have a besenji/jack russel mix who they said we would have to put him in a kennel until we move into family housing. Will the wait be that long? Is there a better way not to put my dog in a kennel? I don't know anyone yet in family housing at Vance that could put my dog up before we move in. Any suggestions? Thanks, Cucci

I will be commissioning in June and be on casual status at Edwards while I await pilot training. Can anyone share some info on life as a new butter-bar awaiting UPT in the Mojave desert? How could I get in a flying squad? And, how do sandbag rides work with Flight Test Squadrons? Thanks. -Cucci

I'm asking this for a female friend ;) ; Can a chick get a boob job and fly? Fighters? Take Gs?

If I coulden't be a pilot I'd probley be an alcoholic...wait, is'nt that the same thing!? If I coulden't shoot shit from the air I guess I'd wan't to shoot shit from the ground. But, I'd still be an alcoholic. ;)

Well, it has been a while and my local bartending job has given me some money that I wan't to spend on some flying. It has been a while since I flew last and I need to get my bi-anual/prof check w/ an instuctor at my flying club. With this I wanted to get checked out in our complex C172RG w/ a manditory 10hrs (for insurance) and I can also bang out some instrument time during that. Not sure how much time I want to train (spend $) w/ an instuctor... Does anyone have any suggestions I should focus on that would help for UPT prep during this flying time? Also... What is the best T-6 Flight Sim out there? (I know..UTFSF, but there is some new t-6 sim stuff that is coming out and I'm seeing if anyone knows of the best.) Thanks, Cucci [ 20.

Do they test for Acid reflux at brooks? I keep on planning to take prilocec until then to get healed up. Should I wait to get a waiver? Anything else? Thanks.

Thanks for all the great info. I love to fly and this just seems like the next step to keep learning and stay sharp while I wait to commission + Casual before UPT. What are the differences in civilian and military instrument training? I play around on T6driver.com quite a bit, what is the best material to read/go over before UPT? Anything else to get ready? Thanks.

I have the same problem and have found NEXIUM is the best, but you need a Rx. Prilosec is the next best OTC. I have to go to brooks next year before UPT and I'm woundering if they will find out if I have Acid Reflux Disese or find out if I'm on meds if I don't tell them? What should I do to not get DQ and stay flying?

I searched around a little bit and didn't find a whole lot of info on Instrument ratings before UPT. I have 1 year before I pin on the butter-bars, have just over 100hrs in a 152 and am interested in getting my instrument. My question is: if you can afford it, is it worth it to get instrument rated before UPT? Does it make that much more of a difference? Pros/Cons?
