@uhhello Sounds like a freshly winged Lt getting into dynamic rollover on the first takeoff lol. Remember slopes on NVGs? Lol Good times

I flew the UH-1N. I was is in the 1 HS, 36 RQF and 40 HS. Three different missions. I wanted to fly 53s but they retired them when I was in UPT. CSAR was awarded the 47 so I thought that'd be cool to get into that mission because they are actually spending money to beef up CSAR, that didn't happen. CSAR guys were still doing cool shit at the time but in locations I had not wanted to ever see again. The CV was too new at the time. I had a good time in the Huey. Your mission is stateside (and Japan) though. Dont get me wrong, plenty of 11H3s deployed as air advisors and etc... Helicopters in general sit some form of alert. When there is no action, you train and sit alert. Sometimes 39 minutes from your family, other times you're in some shit hole with sand everywhere and a dude named Biff bumming smokes off you. Helicopters are ATVs of the sky. You do strictly military type flying in helos. Low and slow.. you will have friends who die flying them but my God, there is nothing like hovering at 200 AGL, at our bingo, pulling a dude off (sts) a mountain and seeing your FE wearing an old man mask on his helmet. Beard and all, dangling in the wind. Fuck yeah Spider! Helicopters are fun to fly. The missions can be dangerous and sometimes deadly. Helicopters are hot and sweaty. Missions are rewarding. But you can sit 100s of hours of alert without seeing any action at all as well. Hueys are being replaced with MH-139s. They have retractable gear (dont forget). AFGSC is spending a little money on helos. They are all AD units. CSAR has AD, ANG and AFRC units. Im not sure how much ACC invests in CSAR but it seems like a pendulum. Probably the coolest mission the AF does. Dont tell my 60 buds I said that lol. I have no idea about the CV mission. Just wasn't in the cards for me. Edit: Doing armed nuclear convoy escort in a Huey was cool as well. I actually liked that mission. Mountain flying was a challenge as well. Edit: Helping someone on a really bad day is the most rewarding thing I ever did in my life.

What mission do you want to do in the AF? Your package looks good "sts" for OTS. That being said, I retired from AD in 2018. I applied to OTS when "W" was in office so things could have changed since then. It's a little harder to get the "mission" you'd like to partake in going the OTS AD UPT route. You will have to compete for slots with your bros (sts, kinda like real life lol) that are made available by the needs of the AF. I flew helos. I wanted helos. I told all the dudes in my UPT class that helos were gay, but I told all my instructors from day one of UPT that my balls were too big for a fixed wing. Lol. In all seriousness, for AD dudes, UPT is like a reality show where you compete against your bros to get whatever the airforce has available for you. ANG and AFRC already know what they will be flying. I imagine that removes a little stress from the competition at UPT. To answer your questions: 1. Your extra curriculum seems applicable for an OTS application. 2. School name probably matters a little. IE. 3.7 from Harvard vs 3.7 from Devry Diesel Driving Academy. 3. Maybe some volunteer work?. Not sure on this one. You just wanna make yourself look motivated and leadership minded. These answers are very basic and apply for OTS. Im not versed in the ANG, AFRC hiring process.

Except for the fear that the Fat Yellow Baron is on your six.

This was a funny observation as a Californian who spent 20 years seeing the world with uncle Sam. I saw a few Hurricanes, Cyclones, and tropical storms throughout planet Earth. This was a joke of a hurricane, Kinda like Hilary is as a person.

Lurch is definitely being pegged by someone in that photo.

Pussies. Lol. If we ever have to fight a bunch of PGHs (pasty green hairs, or woke warriors) I expect it to be over pretty fast. They are pussies. They were 10 feet away from her going 10 knots.

Its covid lol

Or Covid lol.

Just make morale shirt dickies lol. Just a collar and a few inches (sts) exposed for the viewing pleasure if others.

Combine that with a swirly and it's over.

I heard they're starting to put less orange chicken into your order at Panda Express, the Chinese are asking for it.

The old silverback lounge. Lol

You can tell its German because of the foreskin.

No matter where Liam's character is from, North Dakota, Eastern Europe and etc...he's always rocking that Irish accent. Lol. #irishpride

Lol. Osama is rolling over in his grave

Thats a hell of a gang sign

Look how she's worshiping that beer.... Imagine

Dibs 😆

Yeah. It's almost like humans are predictable based off 1000s of years of history. Lol I hope it doesn't happen but I'd be surprised if us humans can work out or differences without viloence.

Make a fake FCIF, print it up and put a few in your pocket lol. Hand them out like a business card, when the clerks come talking. That should confuse them enough for you to walk back into the strip bar with your scarf fully displayed. Lol
