Good evening gentlemen, I hope y'all had a good thanksgiving! 🙂 I have a question I was hoping to shoot y'all. I got back from BMT and tech school a month ago and have been loving AFE. ive met a couple of the pilots in the crossing and have started to get my face around and politely let them know that I would love to fly fighters for the squadron. I recently went up to the pilot room and met one of the hiring board pilots and he gave me some great advice of how I can make a good impression. he suggested I come up every drill after work and just talk to them, and if possible stay behind late to help clean up. I thought this was great advice and id love to hear more from you guys. what do you look for in applicants when they rush the unit and what do you wish they would do. I really appreciate your help guys!

review of f-35 mishap. just damn...

has anyone ever been an IP for fighter B-courses and want to share their 0.02 cents?

how are they still dropping A-10's.

congrats man!

wow, I did not know the 2.5 syllabus was dead. if selected for 38s, will they still be taught under civilian schools?

ahh gotcha. thank you. from what ive read while skimming the past few pages (TLDR) is that they're gonna have civilian instructors for ipt and their is no aircraft chosen to train on yet?

wait, sorry ive been off BO for a little due to BMT, but you mean to tell me that the AFs' plan to train the fighter track in the future is to have all students go to IFT, fly the katana, and straight to the t-7? would the timeline for UPT be cut short or are they just switching to more sim focused training? it seems like the t-7 won't be operational until 2028 and the t-6 is going to be retiring in a couple years. is that correct?

looks like a 35. hopefully the pilots OK.

apologies for the way too specific problem, and hoping to find a solution on a forum. anyways, for knowledge sake, I was diagnosed with chronic ear infection and was given allergy medicine (loratadine tablets and fluticasone propionate nasal spray) by my doctor. when I went to my ENT, she cleaned the wax out of my ears and gave me ciprofloxdexameth otic susp ear drops which helped with hearing loss and the middle ear infection. things have been going good so far (knock on wood), so hopefully this can help anyone else who runs into the issue.

I always knew you were into that stuff.

anyone watch the blue angels IMAX movie?

I agree. I guess I just haven't met anyone that knocks my socks off. I would love to find someone who pushes me when im tired or understands what I want, but its just hard to find. im glad you were able to.
