What?! How about the 5 ARMS troops sitting in the squadron scrolling their phones all day and not processing stuff?

How does a Wing fail a UEI and the firing is a subordinate and not the Wing CC? BG Select or not, that’s just weird.

You keep up this level of efficiency and you’ll get put back on long term orders. Careful!

To continue pulling this thread, prevention is the key to this stuff. Lifting weights for function and not just show muscles and stretching is massive. It isn’t the panacea that’ll prevent all issues, but it’s much harder to try to fix it later. Also, don’t think since you’re in the T-1 track and heavy communities that this stuff won’t get you. I know a bunch of AC-130 guys with major neck problems from being on NVG and looking left out of their side mounted HUD for hours and hours. Other mobility guys with back, hip, neck problems as well.

I think OTS dudes should have the highest percentage since it took me 12 weeks what took you guys 4 years. That’s efficiency!

Interesting datapoint on the Jordan Neely /Daniel Penny case. They both have crowd funding sites set up. Neely’s has raised just over $100k. Penny has $1.65 million as of this post.

Scoffing our elders wisdom is American as apple pie. We conflate technological aptitude with wisdom in this culture and it’s pretty sad.

After the George Floyd incident, it doesn’t matter if illicit substances were present and/or the victim’s criminal history (which was extensive in this case). Not saying anything one way or another on those points, but the parallels are pretty damn close in the cases.

There isn’t a community (outside of FAIP) where you won’t be on the road a good bit. It’s depends on where the community at is in their FORGEN cycle/TDY cycle. Don’t let that influence your drop sheet. Put the mission you want on the top of the sheet and hope for the best. You’ll have plenty of time later in life to sit at home and being a boring old loser like me. Get out there and have fun as a young buck raging around the world.

I figured they would have a double sided one like Requiem for a Dream but what do I know.

It was a publicized board and not an individual thing. There was one guy from each heavy community that went to each fighter. For example, a KC-135 guy went Raptor. I think a C-17 guy went Strikes.

Pick based on mission and you’ll be happy. And even if you don’t get your choice, you’ll love where you end up unless you’re just a miserable person then it won’t make a difference where you go. If you’re interested in single pilot flying out of the T-1 track, I’d lean into U-28 because that community is going OA-1K and that’s only going to have a single pilot.

Angsty 1 tour Viper guy sent to UPT with an inflated sense of self and a bad attitude?! I don’t believe it.

JFC I hate that “my fighter” phrase. Confirm this Turd thought that if he tanked PIT, he’d get sent back to a gray jet?

Sounds like it’s time to shoot a hostage and wash a guy out for military CAP type reasons.

First drop I witnessed at SPS was 5 x UAV, 5 x U-28/PC-12, a FAIP, 1 x B-52, and 1 x F-15E. I also say this as a graduate of ENJJPT, the fact that people are much more likely to drop fighters based on their ability to do well in college/OTS is a joke. It’s how you end up with folks that fly fighters instead of fighter pilots (massive difference). I stopped through SPS awhile back and overheard a student say something to the effect of he didn’t have to excel just survive to end up in a Viper. I wanted to choke slam him.

With the constant stream of bitching from this site with the force ran by straight white male fighter pilots, maybe it’s time to put the gay Jewish black chick tanker pilot in there. This is obviously satire. No way a Tanker pilot should be CSAF.

Wow, that is ridiculous. I’d be shocked if Congress didn’t intervene there.

I’m not sure of the specs but I think so. I know the existing weapons storage at the bases didn’t meet the AOW requirements. It surprised me at HRT but really did at CVS since that was a F-16 base and they had a really diverse catalog of weapons. I assumed they would be good but I guess not.

It’s a multi step process. Step one is the application. If you make it past that, you’ll get brought out for the flying interview which includes flights in a glider, C-12, and a T-38 (I think). I assume you’re a pilot and not a Flight Test Engineer (FTE)?

I legit feel bad for CSAF candidates that are anything but straight, white fighter pilot males. If one of them gets picked (happened to Gen Brown), everyone will glom onto their skin color/gender/orientation. I can’t imagine how demoralizing that would be to have served for almost 40 years and everyone assumes you only made it as the diversity hire.

You basically described the Turing Test (maybe intentionally?) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test All this AI stuff is very interesting, but the leap to general AI is something that I don’t necessarily believe we will get to ever. A book called “The Myth of Artificial Intelligence” (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674983519) by Erik Larson is very good on this subject. The most interesting part of it to me is that we all just kind of assume general Ai will get here because we do. It’s not following a scientific method. Algorithmic AI is incredible and the exponential growth is shocking, but making that leap to general AI is significant.

I’ll stomp this now and crush dreams that if DM goes AFSOC, it’ll be in addition to and not a replacement of Cannon. With the OA-1K coming online, DM is great because of the existing infrastructure for A-10 ops with weapons storage that isn’t present at other bases. Turns out you can’t just put AGR-20’s in a big bunker with all the Gunship stuff.
