FAIP, my bad

No, he's going to Tyndall.

I'll put this here, pretty badass story and wish him all the best, he sounds like what we need.  Some of you may know him, but the fighter pilot community "may" eat him alive if he keeps wearing the hat.

Is my fighter pilot whiskey compass off?  I mean really, ditch the hat.

I'll bet the PA pukes had him wear that for the photo op (at least I hope).  Props for his former bad-assary, but I would hope by now he'd enough SA by now to know that hat is a no-go item. 

Former special ops... Future fighter pilot.... Does that make him a SpecOps-Fighter Pilot?

I know him pretty well, yep they sure made him wear it.

Viper training is going on at Cannon now? Home of the Spec Ops Fighter Pilot!

Not sure what opsec says about posting stuff like this but I'll say it's basically Del Rio 2.0.

In general, if you're not sure about whether or not you should/can say something, don't.

And referencing Holloman as Del Rio 2.0 is the same as saying Holloman.

Copy, fixed, if you could change yours now it'll be clean.

I never saw him wear that down here, almost guaranteed PA coaxing. Good dude.

I don't think it's an issue here, just some advice.

As has already been stated, I'm sure PA had him wear the hat.  But honestly, how is it any less gay than the stupid ass bi-fold hats we wear now?  Bring on the the squadron baseball hats!  

Incoming SNAP here, I was wondering if there are any disadvantages to being in the last class of the fiscal year. Is there a tendency to push less desirable assignments toward the end?

Bro I wouldn't even worry about playing that mental game if I were you. Just enjoy UPT, drink, and chase women.

Currently a stud. I highly doubt that matters at all, but even if it did there is nothing you could do to control it. What you can do is crush UPT, study hard, decompress (party) on the weekends and have a great attitude.

The chips (timing, luck, needs of the AF) will fall wherever they may, but control what you can. Oh, and trim.

Short answer. Not really. FWIW the last two classes of my fiscal year (I was in one) had in my opinion the best heavy drops of the year. Except the RPAs. But that's a sore subject with extenuating circumstances. Luck, timing, hard work and don't suck are the keys to success.

I was in 01-15, last class of the fiscal year, all fighters at DLF.  There is nothing to this rumor, then again my drop was 7 days after 9/11

There's women to chase at UPT? I guess Del Rio didn't get that memo... Thank god there's still beer flowing freely.
