ALFA stuff

[Guest Dirt Beater]

What are the different routes you can take on your ALFA tour? What do most dudes do?

After ALFA, do you usually go back to an ops flying assignment again?

What do you do after your second ops tour is up?

There are numerous options, but most people either go back to teach white jets (UPT), Smurf Jets (IFF) or ALO (Air Liason Officer) with the Army and call in airstrikes.

Usually most people get back to their primary MWS. A lot of people will volunteer for a "bad deal" (aka Korea ALO) so they can have minimal time out of the jet (1 year) and they usually get their choice of bases.

If you've gone ops-to-ops then you've probably expressed interest in going to Weapons School. After your second ops tour is up, you are PRIME for a remote tour or staff tour (something non-flying). Some guys do weasel their way into an RTU job or some other sort of flying gig, but it's fairly rare from what I've seen.

Check out the AFPC assignments teams webpage for a rough picture of ALFA assignments in each MWS. The assignments are the same, but some of the pages give a better idea of what to expect in the next assignments cycle.
