Creech for the FTU and ops afaik

Let me know if nobody wants to see CSO drops here and I’ll go back to the no man’s land of the CSO threads… UCT 26-15 F-15E x 3 B-52 x 3 OA-1K x 2 (1 guard, 1 AD) RC-135 x 3 EA-37B x 1 RQ-170 x 1 AC-130 x 2 MC-130 x 1 HC-130 x 1

Pretty funny CSO drop video

Hey all, just chiming in as someone who got picked up for UCT a couple years ago. Knowing a lot of people out there want to go fighters, just wanted to share that it is definitely possible through UCT. F-15 WSO slots seemed to be the one consistent part of the UCT drops, around 3-5 every class out of 14-20 students. For reference, the average class probably had about 6 people who ranked them high on their dream sheet. There are so many other cool platforms CSO’s go to that the fighter slots sometimes aren’t that competitive to get! Just something I wish somebody put out there when I was applying.

Accurate-ish. Not 9G’s but it is the EX profile.

26-10 1x AC-130 2x B-1 2x B-52 1x OA-1K Guard 1x HC-130 2x MC-130 1x EA-37 4x F-15E 2x RC-135 2x RQ-170

I find myself the lone survivor of this thread…no matter. UCT 26-06 2x MC-130 2x HC-130 1x LC-130 4x F-15E 2x B-52 1x B-1 1x EA-37B 1x RQ-170 1x RC-135 Nav

Just throwing my hat in the ring for anybody applying in future years who might get CSO instead of Pilot, because I was in that spot a few years back. If you’re not 1000% sure you want to be a pilot, I would definitely take a UCT slot. I’m glad I did. For those who end up liking pilotage, we’ve got airframes where you get plenty of stick time in a small cockpit (F-15, OA-1K). For those who end up not liking pilotage, we’ve got airframes for that (RC-135, EA-37B, AC-130). New CSO’s have unique opportunities that pilots don’t get straight out of undergrad, so if you like airpower but don’t feel like you need to be the bus driver, you’ll probably love being a CSO.

26-05 drop, decent variety for a smaller class: 3x F-15E 2x RQ-170 1x LC-130 (Guard) 1x C-130 (Guard) 1x EA-37B 1x HC-130 1x B-1B

RQ-170

Honestly not really. It’s always changing and it’ll be different again even just a year from now.

Hear ye, hear ye, the first single track UCT drop was certainly…unique: RC-135 x 8 F-15E x 4 RPA x 2 AC-130 x 1 B-52 x 1

They vary quite a bit, life happens and people migrate between classes. All said and done they’re typically 10-20 people. Cant speak for UPT, not a pilot.

Just get ready for the NEW new curriculum…
