Danny Noonin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Anyone got a T-38 PIT syllabus they can send me? Wanna see how painful it's going to be... It's a T-38. Loops. Straight-ins. Tac turns. Short days. San Antonio. Don't think any of that even remotely approaches a pain threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-21.Pilot Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) What's the last "+2" in a 2+2+2? -9- It is possible to do a 2 year tour at a UPT base, a 2 year tour at PIT and then another 2 year tour at yet another UPT base. That's 6 years in AETC and not advised....but, it is doable. Edited March 10, 2015 by C-21.Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEVIL Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 For the 38 side of the house, what are the chances of sneaking off during the day to let out a dog if you bring one with you? (thinking MAX 15 minute each way drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanePhlyer Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I would say really good. Usually fly 1 maybe 2 times per day, outside oft those times, do what you need to. During academics, you should be able to sneak away during lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPE1704TKS Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Are USAF T-6 IPs at Whiting, as well as the USAF T-6 IPs teaching CSOs at Pensacola eligible to teach at PIT as an assignment later on? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_king Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You don't even have to have previously flown T-6s to teach them at PIT. You just have to be a former AETC IP. There are T-6 IPs at Randolph that are qualified because they flew instructed in Herks at the schoolhouse. A little ridiculous if you ask me, but they didn't.

flyusaf83 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 How does one pursue a PIT IP tour? I'm a former T-6 FAIP, and would love to get go teach at PIT. Is this something that dudes need to contact the 559th for and visit? Or just work through my AFPC functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standby Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Just got word (no RIP or orders yet) from the Sq/CC that we'll be heading to Laughlin to instruct T-38's. Anybody there now that could help me out with the local area brief? Specifically wondering where I should start looking regarding a place to live. I do boat and fish offshore so I'll be taking our center console to fish out of Port Aransas so I'm thinking a lakefront place might be nice.

matmacwc Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Houses ain't cheap there and the property taxes are outrageous but there are lake houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do boat and fish offshore so I'll be taking our center console to fish out of Port Aransas so I'm thinking a lakefront place might be nice. Cheers Congrats! I just left there and loved it. I know I'm an anomaly. It's close to home for me (New Braunfels), the lake is awesome, and there is pretty good hunting all around. As far as places to live on the lake with direct access there are two fishing communities on the north side; Box Canyon and Amistad Acres. They are also close to some public dove hunting areas. These are a bit of a drive but the fishing, in my opinion, is better in that area. There's subdivisions closer to town and on the lake but they use public ramps and are usually a bit pricey. If you live in town I recommend the Reservation (all roads off of Arrowhead Tr.). Warning though, re-sale of the houses on the north side may be difficult. You have to find someone that has the same desires as you. Not always easy, most people are fine with cramping themselves into a tiny home on the base and suffering through 3-4 years in Del Rio. The commute to the base from anywhere by the lake and the north side of town is easy now with the loop. Let me know if you have any other questions. BTW, I would take my center console to Sargent and Galveston's West Bay often. Pretty easy drive. Never took it to Port A. Will be there this July though for a tournament though.

Thanks for the insight! The wife talked about getting a tiny home when Clovis was on the table but we have too much shit and our "storage" unit would end up being the size of an average condo so we'll probably bypass base housing. Not to mention I don't want to play their stupid games. Are there any areas of the city/town that we should definitely avoid? Is there any kind of bar scene or do most people throw house parties?

Is there any kind of bar scene or do most people throw house parties? If you are in town stick to the neighborhoods around the lake or what everyone affectionately calls the "Reservation." There are some newer/larger homes just north of the Res in Ceniza Hills (where we lived). Houses up there can get a bit pricey but they are nice and typically sit on a large lot. I loved the community, but you'll recognize the places you don't want to live fairly easily. There's nothing out by the base unless you're a FAIP or a student. I can't really speak to the bar scene, spent most of my time with my 2 lil kiddos, but Doc Holiday's is about it from what I understand. Lots of house parties and base functions. Graduation and drop every three weeks! Let me know if you've got any other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShavedDogsAss Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just got the nod for -38's this summer. Been out of the jet for a LONG time. Beyond the normal pubs stuff, any areas to focus my study prep on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-38 TX syllabus has a track for MAF dudes that flew T-1s in UPT and have a T-38 PIT class follow on. Edit: I know your a CAF bubba but it was written assuming T-1=MAF.

Dudes who didn't fly the 38 in UPT, but later qualed in a 38 in a U-2 or B-2 tour are eligible to fly 38s as a UPT IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to PM any specific questions or I'd be happy to email you. Been here just over 3 yrs so I have some decent insight about the flying, base, schools and the town.
