What's wrong with the Air Force?
My flight didn't meet one weekly goal the entire time. Our last weeks goal was to have 100% graduate and we didn't even accomplish that! Flight ranking: 33/33

First Salute
My first salute was my best friend from high school who enlisted in the Army and eventually made the rank of SSG and a QRF Team Lead. We were best men in each other's wedding and pretty much inseparable. He was shot and killed trying to rescue the crew of a downed helicopter just east of Bagram in 2011.... https://projects.militarytimes.com/valor/army-staff-sgt-james-a-justice/6321584

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
+1 Everything JS just said. Study and memorize the handouts and you'll do fine during the ground eval. As for the flight, he preps you for exactly what you are going to see during the flight eval. As for the examiner from Columbus, he is very big picture, just don't tie his hands on anything that he briefs before hand and you'll pass.

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
True I've never used his "lodging" though. I figure that after spending thousands on some FAA ratings, I could fork over a couple hundred for a hotel....

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
I would recommend Accessible Aviation at KGTR where I've received both my ATP and MEI. Crazy Carl Nuzzo might not be the most organized and you have to push him to stay on schedule but at least I was prepared and passed the ground evals and the flights.

Turning down an assignment but still have commitment
I PCS'd to an AETC base with less than 1 year left on my ADSC and never received a 3 year service commitment b/c I had already gone through PIT in my career. I got there in Feb, went to PIT from Mar-Jun and went on terminal in Jan. Contact the correct person at AFPC and anything can be waived....
