FYI the CAF tracked studs did quasi-IFF in the T-6.
-
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.
-
Other than the lack of ELPs I think the new T-6 syllabus is better for T-38 bound SPs.
-
Better have a signed contract with some enforcement mechanism for that!

Commanders are dropping like flies this year

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.

AF Reserve Age Limit
LookieRookie replied to shirkc1's topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Did your unit convert from legacy to J's? -
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.
-
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.
-
Great point! I agree, that's why we have IFF and FTUs.
-
No idea, it's a recent phenomenon. There's also the idea if b-course opens up a senior FAIP can just drop that airframe then and jump into the opening. SPS leadership just looking to take care of their FAIPs, no harm in that.
-
That there won't be be a huge quality delta in t-38 grads that were taught with either a MAF or CAF instructor. Edit: in case it wasn't clear, I was saying IFF always complains about the product anyways.
-
Not to mention the 15 year ADSC won't really matter. We're going to produce so many pilots in the mid 20s that we can deal with crappy retention
-
Devil's advocate view: IFF squadrons a lot of times say UPs suck no matter what.
-
Sheppard sends its FAIPs to IFF before PIT now because they are both in house.
-
Oh boy, imagine the salt/ineffectiveness that will result from 13-15 year (15-16 commissioned) majors.
-
FWIW, T-1 guys who have taught T-6s are now eligible to teach phase III T-38s from the last PIT syllabus revision. It specifically lists T-6s as a 2-FL equivalent.

First rule of BODN is you don't talk about BODN The second rule is you don't talk about BODN Don't need the unwashed masses here.

@Duck can't wait for your Wg/CC to send out the email saying the congratulations bar tab at the O'Club is on you and your fellow selects!
-
A guaranteed T-38 slot makes you universally assignable in theory. The T-1 closes doors. Edit: ENJJPT from USAFA is solely about grades, it has nothing to do with pilot skill.
