  1. Dude, never pass up the opportunity. Trust me, the sooner you learn this the better life will be.
  2. Lets not kid ourselves, SPs aren't looking outside anyways. Yeah...apparently being able to see the RWY wasn't in the specifications.

    T-6 FAIPs that went through T-1s?

    So you want to send Captains finishing up a T-1 FAIP tour to go through -38s and then to IFF, or just straight to B course?
  5. There were 3 AD. The two T-6 FAIPs were husband/wife -38 studs.

    Nope. Not at XL.

    Already did. We've got a C-17 guy foaming at the mouth to apply.
  8. VN 16-13 -38s: F-22 F-15E F-16 A-10 T-38 FAIP
  9. https://fightersweep.com/5932/memoriam-dale-shillington/ Just to give you an idea of what kind of officer/pilot he was. He was an even better dude.
  10. The quantity over quality mantra is the name of the game at UPT right now. IFS was changed to IFT because "screening" is too harsh. I spoke with an IFT IP a few days ago and he said the washout rate in IFS was around 10%, and now it's around 3%. T-6 IPs are kicking studs to multiple CRs before they get washed out. From what I understand unless they quit everyone returns from their first CR. Guys have been non-vol'd to -38s to fill the increased student load.
  11. Ya, and what are they going to do with late Captains that only have MC-12 and T-38 IP time when they get done with the UPT gig? Not a rhetorical question. Can they (if they even want to by then) go to IFF or should they expect ISR/Heavy/RPAs?
  12. Same thing in 38s, SIMs are keeping studs behind as well.
  13. All the MC-12 guys from 38s had to go somewhere. Lots of MC-12/heavy guys teaching -38 studs these days.
  14. 9 to END and an additional 3 to SPS Not true. One flight in particular has had that particular student load (sts) or very close to it 4 classes in a row now. Sending 9 guys to a class or two is doable, but when all the other class sizes have been increased to 6-7 studs then it becomes mathematically impossible to keep them on timeline.
  15. Word is 3 of the 4 are T-6 FAIPs.
  16. END 16-11 -38s: F -15E F-16 A-10 T-6 F-16 ANG A-10 ANG
  17. END 16-08 T-38s: F-16 x2 B-52 F-15C (ANG) F-35
  18. I know a couple of C model guys that are TFI to guard units. The word I got from one of the dudes is that the TFI gig may become more commonplace. Whether that's accurate or not idk.
  19. END 16-07 -38s: F-16 F-16 (ANG) F-15E T-6 FAIP
  20. Not at all. I was doing well to remember 5 assignments, much less 25.
  21. VN 16-06 T-38s: F-16 x2 T-38 FAIP B-52 Of note from the T1 side: KC-46
  22. Oklahoma State has some good online programs. They have a good MBA program and a few engineering degrees. Some require GMAT/GRE and some don't.
  23. KEND 16-02 38s: F-22 F-15C F-16 A-10 B-52 T-6 FAIP
  24. Check the JQP section.
