The only thing you can control is how hard you study, prepare, learn, and help your bros. There are other variables that are totally out of your control that will have a large effect on your assignment. But if you're already looking forward to taking the easy route, you'll find yourself left out of the party.

I'm not sure that he was meaning that he's going to just coast through and track 38s because more are being dropped (though I can see where there's room for misinterpretation).  I think what he's saying is that the odds are better and he's happy about that.  Honestly, anyone would be if they saw 38 drops jump from 2 to 8(ish).  Either way, you offer great advice to future pilots like us and we definitely appreciate it!

Dude, never pass up the opportunity. Trust me, the sooner you learn this the better life will be.

Finally, ACC uses failure to improve yourself and others in the debrief. AMC and AFGSC use it to generate Q-3s and FEBs. 

Hasn't been my experience in AFGSC... Then again, I've spent 5 years at Minot. Skipped the dark times at KBAD. YMMV.

We had a long chat with a missileer looking to improve their OGV process, and he was saying that the evaluators don't even pull the shift with the missileers.  The lead guy being evaluated just puts together a debrief and presents it after the fact.  And the debrief itself isn't an evaluatable item.

You cannot have the latter flying these planes because you need to have an aggressive 38 like attitude to fly through a SAM MEZ knowing that you will get shot at and you will most likely get hit (no one is out maneuvering a SAM at 2.0 G), but need to drop bombs on target on time.  

 

Slow your roll. Tracking 38s in UPT doesn't give you automatic tactical credibility. You begin to learn the necessary skills and attitude in your first ops unit as a young pup picking the brains of the old dudes whenever you can.

It's ok. Quibbling is the god-given right of all millennials, haven't you heard?

Of course it is. Just watched a guy sleep through classes and pass. (Syl dev'd himself doing it) but he's off to fly F-22sand he was in the bottom third of his class. (family connection in the guard).

i'lll say it for Danger41 shut the f*ck up cadet
 
expound lol what a gay

Takes one to know one.

very much looking forward to being in UPT as a 31 y/o prior e with this extremely humble generation

As someone who did exactly what you are doing right now, and rightfully got pounded for it, take what these guys are saying and go with it. Arguing with Danger makes it look like you're going to do the same thing with your instructors at UPT.. see how that goes for you. You say you're passionate about getting a fighter, great, let it show through your work ethic.

Good luck. It was an interesting experience for me...

(I was late-rated/old, not prior e)

My class starts next week and I'm 28, but will be 30 at graduation. I'm also a prior-E so this should be interesting. I'm stoked nonetheless.

With all due respect

 

Right now, however, my IFT/UPT dates are probably gonna be in FY17

Well no shit dude FY 17 is in four days

What the fuck is going on here these days? 

Does BODN need a goddamn "safe space"?!

SNAPs: less mouth, more ear. If you have time to quibble and bitch on here, you have time to be in the vault or the -1. 

Hopefuls: timing, skill, work ethic, luck.. Control what you can control; enjoy the ride when the cards are dealt. 

Yes...

CMB 17-08 Track

1 T-38 (Saudi)

7 T-38

11 T-1

2 Helo

END 17-08

9 AD T-38's (no shit), 1 INTL, 1 Guard, so 11 total T-38's

13 T-1's

1 Helo

DLF - 7 T-38's.

2 Saudis

1 Kuwaiti

3 AD

1 guard 

So much for boosting 11F Pipeline. Let's put more international's through. 

Does DLF have the capability to support the increased load?  I ask because I know the Toner fleet is basically dead because of MX and he hail storm, and they are relying on donated jets from the other bases.  Are the 38's in a similar situation down there?

I think they do. I know that all T-1s are having MX issues with some structural cracking. FYSA they removed all the mission fam from T-1 training. They now do a couple sims after their nav check. Form/AR are out the window.

That sucks those were the best rides in the T-1 syllabus.
