[IFS (Initial Flight Screening) information]

Does anyone think skipping IFS would be a good idea? It sounds like getting the waiver is something you have to apply for, would it be beneficial to not apply for it and go even if I have a PPL with over 70 hours, or should I skip it? I always liked the idea of getting used to the military way of flying in a plane I am already comfortable in.

My take on it is to go. I did it once around for nav and (hopefully) will be doing it a second time for pilot.

If you are committed to it, you won't get eliminated. The people that get eliminated are the ones that decide they don't want to be there or think its a guarantee to pass (from what I saw when I was there).

Personally if I get asked if I want to skip it the second time around I'll be declining that offer.

It'll be good to see a new face in the 4th at Hurlburt! Gunships are tons of fun
