    I know a marine AH-1Z guy who got hired by a reserve tanker unit and is going straight to Altus for KC-135 school...his only FW time is T6s back in the pilot training day almost a decade ago. They aren’t making him go to T1s, or any other fixed-wing course prior to Altus.

    That said, I can’t imagine a fighter squadron (or those conducting the ARB, NGB, and/or AETC) could/would send a helo guy straight to IFF/B course without a robust (or full phase 3) T38 syllabus. While rushing fighter units, I met a couple guys in your boat and they never got a clear answer from units or NGB for that scenario. Answers they got ranged from having to do all of UPT like us army dudes, to just phase 3 T38s/IFF b course, to just IFF/B course. None I know ended up getting hired, so don’t know how it would have gone down. I would THINK on the fighter side that doing phase 3 T38s/IFF/B course would be the appropriate track, but I don’t know, so take that with a grain of salt. I just know on the heavy side, my bro didn’t have to do any FW phase 3 when crossing over. But that doesn’t make sense for single seat jets. Good luck...and if you find out something for sure please share. 

    To you sir and EvilEagle thank you. Phase three and on is what I would imagine is the proper course as well.

    It’s disheartening to hear of other helo pilots not being picked up but hopefully I will prove to be an anomaly. I will keep you posted.

    My best guess honestly... (link for lurkers: http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm)

    I don't think you get BAH if you live on base... But even in Hawaii, I think you can find a decent apartment well within that budget (or so I've been told).

    I was stationed out there for 4 years with the Navy. You get BAH on base but the housing contractor takes it all back. What you do get is your left over utility allowance if you’re under at the end of month (usually doesn’t happen if you like to have air conditioning). Look at the cost of living allowance calculator as well that’s  your extra take home. 

    When I was there as an O3 I was living out in town collecting $3600 a month in BAH and another $1200 in COLA. Both have gone down considerably since.

    I know this isn’t the best channel for my question but in short I am currently Navy rotorary wing with an application into an ANG fighter squadron. G willing I get an interview I’m looking for information on who to talk to about syllabus requirements for someone like me that’s completed fixed wing primary (phase I & II) in the T-34. It would be nice to show up for an interview with a concrete answer on how much training I require. I will post a separate thread later with more information for those interested.
