Vetter

Anyone got a T-38 PIT syllabus they can send me? Wanna see how painful it's going to be...

If you wanna do PIT without UPT experience, look into the 2 + 2. A couple of my buddies did that and enjoyed it. Unsure if it's still around.

True, but you're teaching a 200 hour guy how to teach a 0 hour guy while you have no real experience in the jet. I think the rule is a good one.

Heading back to PIT eventually. Anyone know of pet friendly lodging solution off base? Do any of the crash pads allow pets? Short term apartments? I'm open to any ideas, except living on base. I will not do that again. Danke!

For what it's worth, I did my 737 Type/ATP with Higher Power as well. It was a tough program. I've done 3 121 Initial Training programs since and they were a walk in the park compared to Higher Power. Higher Power does more than just get you a type/ATP. It prepares you for the 121 world very well. That said, I'm sure many do well without Higher Power.

danielstevens, can you PM me your email address? I have a few questions for you. Thanks!

Ditto on the X-33. I'd like one as well.

Chang, let's have a beer sometime. I'm serious. I think you'd realize I'm the officer that this AF needs. PM me.

Just glad I don't have to deal with it anymore. Especially being the shitbag that I was. I watched good bros suck dick for a #1 strat. That's where their transformation to the spineless type of leaders we have today begins. It's sad really...

I guess the good Col signed actually signed it. The Lt Col ran the rack and stack.

Actually I tried to quit during the VSP fiasco of 2011, then got passed over. So here's how it actually went: Vetter: "uhhhh, fuck you AF, I quit!...and the AF is doomed and full of retards." AF: No, you can't quit. We need you. AF: Here's you a great assignment and we need you there, but we're not going to promote you! Vetter: Perfect! I get to fly Hogs in AZ for 2 more years then I can get out a year early! AF: Vetter, you're passed over twice now, but we need your skills. So you can stay until 20 years as a Captain. Vetter: Haha! Fuck you! Deuces! AF: Fine, but you're not getting invol sep pay. Fuck you! Vetter: Deuces! Break break! Vetter: No, Lt Col DudewhosignedmyPRF, I will not write you a letter of rec for my airline. Little different than your version.

No shit, dawg. I know what it is. Just seeing the examples they used was comical.

I come back every now and then to read these threads. I am so fucking glad I left the shit show. A Weapon's School PRF guide? YGTBSM!

Dude, my post was all sarcasm. No one in the airlines gives a shit if you were a DG. No one.

What do you fly?

I don't know a single person to get hired at a Major without an ATP.

A dip check before dropping the JDAMs while on NVGs would have solved this problem. But Bones are the best CAS platform.

Fuck...let's keep playing this game. The US Government goes bankrupt in 10 years. You pension vanishes. We can play what ifs all day. In spite of the Obama administration, we are much more energy independent than just a few years ago. I don't see oil going to $175 (knock on wood). All that said, for me, the airline life has been great so far. Not being attached in any way to the military makes the gamble worth it.

$1.5M in 5 years at the airline? I don't know the future, but I'd wager in 20-25 years, a wide body captain will easily be able to make $1.5M from age 60-65. And that doesn't include the 16% 401k contribution.

Just got word that my Forms 4 for an AAC MPW 9" and AAC SDN-6 arrived at my arms dealer. Giggity!

It didn't come up. We were too drunk and happy to be there. I was being sarcastic. No one...let me repeat, NO ONE...gives a shit about DG. Now, FAIPgate...pics or it didn't happen.

In my US Airways indoc class, out of 7 military dudes, 5 were DGs from CGO level PME. If you want to get hired by an airline, make sure to check that container.

2nd the SCAR. I have a 17S and thinking about a 16S SBR. Love shooting the 17!

He wasn't a POW.

His super was female. I bet he was banging her.
