    Degradation of SUPT

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Yep. I am one of those guys. Flew 38s and got caught up in some of the worst drops since the bank happened. Some of my buddies never flew a manned USAF aircraft after pilot training. Still an awesome career path but don’t have high expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

    Do you think Big Blue will actually go through with that AETC memo about taking pilot slots? Should we prepare for disappointment? Cadre at our ROTC Detachment keep saying “ignore it”

    You can't control the syllabus, so I wouldn't worry about what's missing from it as a stud; you've got so much else to work about.

    I'll echo what was said, study hard! You'll have long days on formal release, so maximize that time. A compressed syllabus to you means less time to learn a task, so don't waste opportunities (flights/sims).

    Study with your flightmates, don't be afraid to ask IPs questions (but do know the book answer before asking). Don't waste time on formal release playing in your phone, your IPs will notice and be less forgiving on GK and procedural items.

    Attitude is very important. Most IPs want you to succeed, but you've got to put in the effort. If you're struggling but putting in the effort to read, ask your flightmates for help, and ask IPs for clarification, we'll do what we can to help you understand the material better.

    Even if you are doing well, you can always be better. So stay in the books. We are laying the foundation of how to be a professional military aviator, and those lessons (stay in the books, strive for improvement, realize your weaknesses and find ways to improve them) become so much more important after you get your wings, as now it's not just flying, but tactics, aircraft employment, and threats.

    As a student, the advice I got was to hit the books hard from Sunday afternoon until Friday's end of schedule, then take Friday night and Saturday to take care of yourself (or your family). As a UPT IP, I recommended the same for my studs.

    Work hard, play hard. Best of luck to you!


    Roger that, thank you! Good luck to you as well

    ENJJPT selection

    Its not one thing, but normally being a stud in all things... at least from the guys I have seen go.  DG from OTS and then DG in their CSO/ABM training with lots of flight hours and ratings.  I am sure that doesnt mean all who go to ENJJPT are like that, but the guys I have seen go fit this to the T.  
    Are you Active Duty now or going through OTS/ROTC?

    I am a Cadet ROTC

    As someone who really wants to joint the fighter community, how the hell does one get into ENJJPT? I've asked IPs from EN tails, my cadre, former eagle and viper drivers and the best answer I have gotten is a big fat no ing clue. Some say GPA some say DG at field training, Commander's ranking, PCSM, flight hours, the whole nine. I have yet to get a solid answer and it's been chewing me up inside.

    My current scores are

    89 Pilot

    85 Nav

    3.2 GPA Aerospace Engineering

    Haven't taken TBAS yet so no PCSM.

    What y'all got for me?
