This is excellent financial advice, after UPT you can use your flight pay to cover the divorce.

For your high-altitude viewing pleasure... Nicely done, Meat.

On the subject of ENJJPT/Sheppard from a dude that graduated from there and is now there doing the whole flying thing, the comments above are pretty spot on. The place has just turned into a giant political circle J that likes to point out that it's an "international" program and "NATO" based and cares more about how it looks and acts politically among its partners than it actually cares about the training. Hell, the place sweeps up problems underneath the rug all the time to save face! A German Squad CC just got fired on the T-6 side of things after being at the helm for at most four months. The brass said he left because of personal reasons but the middle management has whispered behind the scenes saying the dude got canned for some seriously heinous stuff. On the T-6 side the fighter guys and heavy guys get along pretty well and develop a good atmosphere for the studs and paints a pretty good picture that there is more to the Air Force then being a Fighter/FAIP/Bomber guy. The 38 side is a lot different. Obviously a lot more focused on the Fighter side but I would argue to the point where they definitely put down and make fun of the "herbivores" as being lesser pilots and doing less of the mission. Hell, they even make fun of flying bombers and spec ops! Dudes that are doing the mission as we speak! Now take that attitude as a student and roll that into drop night when you made it to the point of receiving an aircraft assignment from one of the hardest pilot training programs in the world and do not happen to get a fighter or FAIP because as well all know here, luck and timing are everything. That dude now feels a little bit less of themselves because the IPs they talked to and flew with in the past took a dump all over the aircraft that stud dropped. And as for the top brass here.....golly. I'll just let the combat hours and TV talk show host speak for themselves....

The November AFRC UPT board completed on Friday and results began to be publicized today. Talk to your commander or recruiter.

If that happens to any former 18Xer, I would fully expect them to literally burn down their UPT squadron post drop night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only your basic pay is taxed, and if you're on base no BAH for you. I'd stop stressing...just see how much you get on the 1st/15th and go to the bar. Pro Tip: getting married prior to OTS = E-5 BAH during OTS and family separation. That's about $1K/mo...

What's amazing to me is that we have the HPO program under all of this. Why the AF believes it needs a secret and separate process is beyond me.

Wearing blues isn't enough. I think we need more. Mess Dress Mondays, is where it should be. Clothing Sales at the BX needs the business.....

First thought: Hey, fuck you. Second thought: I've had some downright terrible nav CC's...
