Great. Thx. for the info - Will be glad to get back to the land of the big BX and fast AAFES. Hobbes

Does anyone know if the Maxwell Class-6 is still selling gallon jugs of beer on tap?? That was essential for ASBC completion - sounds like the same for SOS... Thx :beer:

My blues pants button kept getting more and more desperate with each week that passed. Just when I had no hope left...! -my ANAM test results were WAY high after hearing this news. The battle of the bulge can now be fought by velcro alone!

Hey Congrats! -The road to your base will be through IFS, Water Survival Training, SERE, and of course primary CSO training at Pensacola. While I was there at Pensacola, training was about a year long and consisted of typical AF style flight training - a round of academics on your plane/systems and then several phases of flights. You'll get time in T-6s and T-1s and a pretty quality simulator running missions that will have you learning quite a broad range of jobs a CSO may do in the AF. At least at the time I went through even the guard guys who knew they would be Herc-folk still had to train up on how to drop bombs, jam/suppress threats, run basic air-to-air radar and fire AMRAAMs in addition to basic Herc-nav stuff like low-levels, IFR mission planning and execution, and countermeasures deployment. Honestly, as far as preparation goes, I'd say just enjoy your time before you get there, it was pretty busy for most of us once class started. The one thing I think helps alot of people out is to invest in a few hours of flight instruction. If you get some ground-school and basic airmanship in, it will go a long way in making sure you don't start out struggling.

Heck yeah you can't squeal about that drop! -congrats
