Glad to know we learn from our mistakes... Also to “us” in 08/09. Z flight! Edited October 7, 2017 by osulax05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 10 hours ago, Seriously said: Some squadrons are better than others, but I wouldn't say that mindset is near death though. Compared to 5-6 years ago it is. At least they're doing flow throughs now and have pretty much shit canned slide/scram. But you're right, as in any community, it can depend on the squadron. I still give the hornet guys props for driving the community in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 EN 18-01 drops tomorrow and had to put the growler on their dreamsheets. Today they were called in by the SNR and told to not expect great things at their drop. They had to reorganize their dreamsheets with emphasis on non-fighter options.

Danger41 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hopefully nobody in that class learns the brutal lesson of "I wish I would've tried a little harder" during the great fighter giveaway of 2017... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today they were called in by the SNR and told to not expect great things at their drop. They had to reorganize their dreamsheets with emphasis on non-fighter options. We had a Commander's Call today and the 71 OG spoke briefly on the T-38 assignments topic. He said the AF had to cut 40 F-16 slots. It wasn't specifically clarified but I presume that was for FY18 classes. He said it was due to the F-16 training units at Holloman not coming online as fast as the AF expected. With the reduced F-16 drops future T-38 classes could expect to see more drops from AFSOC and the ISR communities. U-28s, EC-130s, RC-135s, MC-130s, and CV-22s were specifically mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

di1630 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Where is the bottleneck? IFF or FTU for the fighters or is this driven by a need for them in other places? Shocker they couldn't stand up Holloman F-16 capacity with all the 7 day opts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a prior KC-135 Boom, put on MSgt at 10-years, Test Boom at Edwards before even going to OTS. One of the smartest aviators I've ever known. Glad to see he got his wish to go back to tankers. He's a great dude! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger_Flyboy Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 6-8 is pretty standard. Haven't seen more than 8 yet. Drop every 5 weeks. 11 drops per FY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
