    What are your suggestions...

    Liberty University offers a flight program as well as an AFROTC detachment, knocking out both of your concerns. It is a private school, and therefore pricey, but it’s what you’re looking for in Virginia. You could look into AFROTC scholarship opportunities to help offset the cost, too.

    *Edit* Feel free to send me a PM if you're interested in the above. Virginia also offers a 2+2 program with community colleges (like engeguy posted below). I've got some experience with that stuff, so just let me know.

    How do you feel about your airframe and mission?

    *Edited because I didn't RTFQ*

    C-12s weren't on your list, but there's nothing bad about them.

    1/2 -- deployments are rare (and usually voluntary).  Banker's hours most other times and even RONs are pretty unusual.

    3.  Morale is great because it's a good deal in a good spot and most people asked for it

    4.  The plane isn't going anywhere soon

    5.  Elmendorf/Yokota, unless you're with DIA or AFMC.

     

    And if you hate it, you only have to deal with it for 3 years.

    I was wondering if there was anything to update about the C-12. How is the ops tempo, fam life, morale, etc looking now for new copilots? Thanks a ton in advance!

    The Adair t-38s aren't aggressors. It's a good gig for a raptor baby, but it's not aggressors. 

     

    (Expectation management)

    The ADAIRs help train raptors for combat against non-stealthy enemies, right? And, if you drop 38 ADAIR out of UPT, does that guarantee you a raptor after a couple years?

    Just curious, do the guys/gals know beforehand what airframes (and how many) will be dropped on their assignment night?

    As you said, the top and bottom will generally have a feel for where they are so they can at least make educated guesses. Allowing the middle guys to know exactly how many of each airframe is available would help them judge with a higher degree of accuracy what airframe they may end up in. 

    Pretty sure T-1 guys get to see "what's available" for drop night (airframe, location), but T-38 guys basically make a dream sheet. 

    As far as how many of each option are available, I don't think that's stated. So it could say "C-17 Charleston, C-17 Dover, etc" but not how many 17s to Charleston or Dover.

    If the BIT is post-IFF (and they're single) send them TDY to fly black jets for those months. No begging required.

    What do you mean by black jets?  T-38 Aggressors?
