    Toughest job in the AF, teaching people to fly in RCPs and talk while doing it.

    Why would a MSG dude work more hours than he has to? Reasons like "patriotism" or "core values" ring hollow when he could be spending time with his family.

    Cessna did have a replacement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_526_CitationJet It lost to the T-6 in the JPATS competition. Potentially apocryphal rumor I heard was the Navy demanded a turboprop.

    There is no requirement to self-incriminate.

    "Maj. Gen. Andrew Toth, a fighter pilot who has flown hundreds of combat hours over Iraq, took command of the Air Force Personnel Center on Aug. 9." Hopefully this results in more transparency and less smoke and mirrors shoe clerkery. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/08/13/experienced-fighter-pilot-iraq-veteran-takes-command-at-afpc/

    You mean HAF is doing a "review" after the AFI mandatory review/coordination A1 had to do in order to publish the new version? Aka: We've investigated ourselves and have found no evidence of wrong doing. Lip service because while this "review" goes on it's the letter of the law.

    To HAF from the peons To HAF from the proletariat ”Where’s the money, Lebowski?”

    As long as there's no TLN, AFPC probably won't know. Now the question is will commanders alert AFPC so they aren't operating in the gray.

    Looking at PSDM, this alpha test seems to be a shiny penny small group try out, at least that's how all the rack and stack appeared to me.

    FYI the CAF tracked studs did quasi-IFF in the T-6.
  13. LookieRookie
    Because crew duties in the -1 says the PNF is there to get the ATIS and talk on the radios.

    CAF heavy planes drop to T-38s. Some people are unlucky, some didn't do well enough.

    Or you cheat on your wife to marry an millionaire heiress.

    No because UPT you actually fly manned aircraft and are a real manned pilot.
  17. LookieRookie
    Other than the lack of ELPs I think the new T-6 syllabus is better for T-38 bound SPs.
  18. LookieRookie
    Better have a signed contract with some enforcement mechanism for that!

    He may be an ART and have been in civilian status the majority of the time.

    I would say mandatory enrollment is because there are service members that are more concerned about their career and specific assignments then enduring quality care for their dependents.

    Did your unit convert from legacy to J's?
  22. LookieRookie
    Because it's a retention tool and quid pro quo not a free benefit.

    Congrats Duck

    I enjoy teaching students, either in the T-6 or T-38, both have their pros/cons.
  25. LookieRookie
    That's not what I said. UPT does not produce fighter wingmen, IFF/FTU do. Formation admin and visual recognition for LoS, AA, etc... isn't rocket surgery. UPT isn't teaching tactics it's teaching admin. UPs that can't fly form admin shouldn't have graduated, at least in theory. Decreased washout rates are a side effect of pushing more pilots through the pipeline.
