Duck Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Great post. But it’s obvious heavy guys and fighter guys think differently. And that’s fine, I like the idea that those guys are so driven to kill bad guys. Makes me sleep well at night and I appreciate it. While I’m in I’ll enjoy my support roll flying cargo and contributing however I can.Except I know a ton of fighter guys who jumped at white jets to make a better life for their family. Bottom line is that people are motivated by different things. If the AF was smart they would try to leverage what motivates people instead of trying to fit everyone into a standard mold of what they THINK should motivate people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ratner Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Except I know a ton of fighter guys who jumped at white jets to make a better life for their family. Bottom line is that people are motivated by different things. If the AF was smart they would try to leverage what motivates people instead of trying to fit everyone into a standard mold of what they THINK should motivate people.Let's not forget that the pilot crisis (according to the AF) started when fighter guys started quitting after being away from home at rates barely approaching what MAF guys were at a decade ago. And many of them are quitting during the most trigger happy period in the last 15 years. To go to the airlines. If a patriotic group of guys and gals are looking to go be FAIPs or regular UPT IPs to strengthen airline resumes, that's a critique on our foreign policy and military leadership, not on their devotion to service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBowl Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Probably not much of a story. I was 18-02 and they told us we weren’t getting any MAF assets. We had E-8, RC-135, U-28 from 38s in my drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an embassy gig, it’s a straight up white jet assignment, kind of like C-21s. They mostly just shuttle the 3 star around Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I had seen from the T-38/EN side of the house were more tactical heavies, i.e. C-130s, C-17s, MC-130s. There might have been the odd KC-135 in the past, it's just the RC-135 stood out.
