Possible extension of U-2 operations, according to noted British journalist Chris Pocock.  Things are getting interesting, assuming he is somewhat accurate.

Do you think they'll ever start hiring again or are we past the point of no return?

Any update for Slick Herks? 

How common are U-28's and AC's going to remain? If they are not on your drop sheet are you just out of luck?

Any update for AC/MC/HC-130 and U-28? Thanks

What is the possibility of dropping B-1's out of T-1's? I am of the understanding that it has been done before and it possible, though extremely rare. How has the career of those who did this pan out?

And if I want to fly heavies, I would have to fly the T-6, correct? 

Yes all pilots start off on the T-6 before moving on to the T-1, T-38 or TH-1 and graduating. 

To anyone who has experience/applied to Bomber Squadrons, is it safe to assume it is as competitive as Fighter Squadrons? Thanks.

Yes and no. Are you motivated and want a slot with the 154th? Then go for it guns blazing and take what you think is yours. Being a current resident is not an extremely determining factor.

As for when you move to the state and have to start paying to live there is when it could get tricky. HI is not a cheap state, and you will have to find another way to support your income. Thank goodness you have a degree though to use in some capacity.

 

Good luck!! APPLY!!!

Anyone know if this is still true today regarding whether or not being out of state is a mark against you? I know they haven't had a UPT Board in a few years, but was wondering for future reference. Thanks.
