The majority of our pilots are in aviation related jobs, but we do have a few doctors, lawyers, etc. Most of our navs are in non-aviation related jobs. This stems from the lack of a good nav-related civilian job. Our engineers are navs. No one says your civilian job has to be related to flying, some people like the change of pace.

Be comfortable, but I wouldn't do the t-shirt thing. To be honest, I have really paid any attention to what someone was wearing. I would wear a polo-style or button down shirt with jeans or khaki pants. You don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. As stated in another post, being yourself is the most important thing. Best of luck and be personable.

Only officers (pilots, navs, and I believe ABM's) are rated in the Air Force. As stated above FE's are enlisted.

Hey baseops, you going to Corpus change of command? One of your former squadron mates and my former IP (BW) is now in my squadron and I believe he is heading out on the Stingray Express. Hope all is well at the 'Nam.

You do not have to be in AFSOC to do the "down and dirty" tactical stuff in the herc. Most slicks fly at 300' AGL on NVG's and all the cool stuff you are talking about. The big difference between AFSOC and slicks, slicks do the formation thing, where AFSOC is mainly single ship.

I know if you come through Corpus, not sure about other bases, they have TFAP. Not sure what it stands for, but basically you can go straight to a Guard unit, if they are willing to take you and if it is their turn to accept someone. I didn't go through it, I'm already Guard, but my unit has accepted 2 guys straight from Corpus. They do a 3 yr tour and then go on. I believe it for them to build hours. If anyone else can add more, please step in!
