Usually.  I've personally seen folks TDY show up to ops, get a flightsuit and equipment fitting then step to the aircraft.  This was many moons ago also.  In my personal experience, I didn't receive any training.  Not saying it happens for every flight, just that it happens.  

As I recall, gave rides in the A-37 to deserving Airmen when the Wg/CC and I would fly out to Bergstrom from DMAFB. No supporting unit cept Transit Alert. I gave the brief, strapped them in, and off we went.

Apparently, the individual was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and was released without injury. 🫡

Airman Snuffy, since you received a DUI you are assigned extra duty as EST (Ejection Seat Tester) for the month.

I guess the glass half full viewpoint is in this instance the seat worked unlike a certain B-1 mishap a few years back.

no physical injuries, noted.

Dude should earn a callsign out of this, no?
