Morg, A guy I was in UPT with is going to fly 17s and was in a similar situation. He lived in Australia for several years, then moved back to the US and went to college here. He didnt recieve his SC for a LONG time, I believe well into his senior year and near the time he commissioned. Nonetheless he went to UPT and hasnt had any problems since. No worries, just hurry up and wait.

In the recent past, the AF in its infinite wisdom has decided to stop giving 'follow-on' assignments to FAIPs as they have in the past. (For example, 37 FAIP with a Fighter follow-on or a TONE FAIP with a Strat. follow-on). For the T-1 FAIPs at XL, I have heard that recent FAIP follow-on drops have included an E3, E8 and a 135 to the Forks (Bergman you might know this guy), as well as a couple of C17s and a C5. Recent fighter type drops from XL have included numerous 16s and a Mudhen. Just wondering how the FAIP mafia is fairing as far as the other bases go...

I believe in that case its considered turbine time, however, turbine time aint necessarily turboJET time...

Ditto for us guys on the heavy side.
