Fuck, this shit again? If you ask strangers to take their personal time to give you advice, you take the good, the bad, and the ridiculous, and if you dont like it you keep your cake hole shut. You surrendered the right to complain when you went to the internet for help.

For God's sakes, they are fucking cadets, not Knights Templar.

Dyess isn't going to be an option, unless you already have orders there. They are going to be fully J within the next year or two. Listen to Disco when he says that you need to pay your dues. Don't walk in day 1 and say "Shit, I wish I was strike...airdrop sucks. I can't wait to crossflow." Someone will throat punch you. Keep in mind that IF you are able to go to another airframe, it's not going to happen right away. The best thing to do is to keep your eyes open for an opportunity. For instance, a lot of slick navs are going spec ops fairly easily, so that's something to keep in mind. Make sure you go in with a good attitude. Sounds like you have no earthly clue what life is like in the slick world, so give it a shot before you decide it isn't for you. You may find that being on a crew is something you enjoy.

Dude, anyone "transfering" airframes these days is a super rare exception to the rule. Expect, plan and prepare to spend then next 1 to 19 years in the C-130 pending further force reductions and non-promote's to the next rank with resulting non-continuation. I.e. don't worry about what airplane your in...just be glad you have one at all. And what's with the "I definitely don't want to cross-train to UPT" - Are you sure you are in the ame USAF flying community as me? Has no one punched the idiot out of you yet? When the hell did we start "cross-training" to UPT anyway.....this isn't some flippen desk job where you just learn to sit at a different window and ignore a different set of "customers"..

You know Goose died right?

Low show option only.

I don't know how he did that while wearing a yellow t-shirt. Obviously that guy has no discipline.

You are nucking futs if you think the travel expenses, care and feeding costs, per diem, etc. of TIB is less than the price of one A-10 working a few air shows every year.

Love the Buff.. even though 0059 is cursed and we needed to have the chaplain out at PGUA do an exorcism on it last year...
