    Protocol for Intercepts

    in Q & A Forum

    Posted

    For those of you who have experience with intercepts, I am very curious to know what the process and rules are at any given time when being intercepted or intercepting. Obviously is a very fluid situation, but I would think there is a general guideline to follow. Recently there seems to be more media coverage on intercepts (which I am sure is a very small amount to how many there really are), but I think it is a fascinating action.  Also, thank you for your service and keeping us safe!!!

    Also, UPT performance doesn't always equal follow-on performance. I saw dudes who barely got a fighter 5 years ago, now WIC grads and I've seen their DG peers flail.

    Anyone who thinks that only the "top 1%" could get through UPT is seriously insecure.  I spent 2 years teaching 38s recently before my Viper RTB and I was amazed at how difficult it was to wash people out. Combine that with the zero control that CCs have over drops and we sent plenty of LTs to fighters that were not strong swimmers. We saw several FTU washouts and a few that surprised us after they got their wings. BL - it doesn't take top talent to get wings. 

    From what you both have said it sounds like just anything else in this world. If I understand the points you both made; its like people trying to get into a particular college or colleges. Said college(s) don't just accept the top of the top, they accept based on various attributes....race, gender, credentials, money, legacy...to achieve a certain criteria.
