SOS/ACSC information
Best was at ASBC. One Lt in my class failed the first test, so our flight/cc asked me to share my study habits. My response was “Ma’am I don’t think a 12 pack of Heineken and not doing the reading is going to work out for her.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SOS/ACSC information
My flight was great; flt/cc not so much. We had 4 DGs, 2 deserving (but one didn’t want or need it because he was prior E and was going to retire ASAP). The most eye-opening experience was the fake promotion board. The nonners in my class picked a guy with a referral OPR for a felony, but then great strats on his following OPRs over an F-16 WIC grad with fair to good strats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SOS/ACSC information
SOS is a joke. I was in the “married” flight, and we placed #2 overall despite nobody giving a shit. Flight got 4 DGs and two went to nonners (In a majority pilot flight) because our nonner Flt/CC despised pilots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Degradation of SUPT
I wonder if there’s any chance he’ll reverse course on the T-1. Being a fighter guy I doubt it, but maybe he’s got more common sense than the outgoing guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
How does this do anything for 11B recipients? It seems it’ll just cause more 11Bs to drop at UPT down the road, once the current FAIPs with 11F follow-ons complete their FAIP assignment and fill all the fighter B-course slots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

USAA
I’ve always walked in with my dealer check from USAA, told them I was pre-approved at USAA-.5 (they don’t know) and they would always find a lower rate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Promotion and PRF Information
The Air Force doesn’t care about anything other than the strat on your OPR. I can guarantee that every aircrew member has done more and made more sacrifices than any nonner out there. We got into this mentality that everyone is the tip of the spear thanks to that tard Welsh, and won’t recover anytime soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Promotion and PRF Information
No A-code time required for an ATP. SIC on an airplane that requires 2 pilots counts in the FAA’s eyes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d suggest splitting up your business. Charles Schwab is great for checking/brokerage. I also have Morgan Stanley, which is actively managed, but I only made the min deposit. Both CS and MS have cobranded Amex platinums if you want more Uber Eats and United Travel Bank! GEICO and AllState have been fine for insurance, but I’ve never had to file a claim with them.

Timeframe for T-1 retirement
I did not get gate months as a URT instructor. At some point after I left they were getting them, but I believe it’s back to not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An early what are my chances (Mid 20s edition)
Not saying you won’t, but I’ve known several people with your attitude and far more aviation experience than you prior to UPT who didn’t get fighters (including some Guard who were hired and sent to UPT by fighter units).
