Just a curiostity question, But what happens if you get the Flu or something while in UPT and can't fly or go to class? I haven't started UPT yet but I am sick as a dog today and it made me think about this question.

DNIF to quarters. The Flt Doc will take care of that part. You will have to catch up on your own. Avoid this situation at all costs. Sickly people who need to be in bed don't make good pilots.

Part of becoming a pilot is learning this very important lesson...

Don't get sick. Ever.

DNIF is common. Too sick to even make it to class is not. It happens, but not often. I wouldn't worry about it.

What happens to someone who gets a cold, or develops cold like symptoms in UPT ?

They go see the Flight Doc and will probably be DNIF'd. You'll still go to work in most cases, you just won't fly. The Flt Doc will specify whether or not you can sim while DNIF.

Going DNIF in UPT =

Have fun.

Wait, they make you a marine? Copy, stay healthy at all costs.
