Out of Klamath you'll go to either Lakenheath or Kadena (haven't heard of any TFI to a Guard unit that Viper guys get occasionally). After that, most of my bros either IPCOT (stayed out in Kadena and switched squadrons), went to Lakenheath, or went to another airframe (Raptor, IFF/UPT, etc). However, a couple guys did go to Klamath to be IP's as they now have an AD Det there.

If a dude is dumb enough to lie about something as easily verifiable as graduating college, he's going to get caught at some point. That said, you may not know what you think you know. Unless you have his transcripts in hand I'd recommend letting nature take its course.

Not necessarily; I'd hope they'd go there to be better at their jobs. I don't figure they want to endure 6 months of arse pain to retire as O-4s, though.

AMC still doesn't know how to utilize WIC grads. Especially in the KC-10 where we stupidly stiff-armed the creation of a WIC...and now our only option for WOs is a -135 pilot who may or may not be able to effectively teach in the -10 (the same would apply the other way if there was a KC-10 WIC and no KC-135 WIC).

Slides 9 & 10 on the AMC promo brief supports your assertion, particularly for WIC grads: - IPZ O-5 promo rate for WIC grads: -- AMC: 33% (2/6) . . . I can't for the life of me figure out how/why WIC grads fared so poorly -- Overall AF: 72.7% (16/22) . . . The overall AF pilot promo rate was 73.4%; MAF WIC grads actually got promoted at a marginally lower rate that pilots across the entire AF - BPZ O-5 promo rate: -- Exactly Zero WIC, Phoenix Reach & Phoenix Mobility grads were selected BPZ in AMC The funniest part is the banner across the bottom of the slide that touts, "Development Programs are Achieving Desired Outcome." I guess the desired outcome is for everyone but MAF experts to lead AMC/the AF. TT

And you're posting this on here because.....?

Pretty close :) Actually you're partially correct! The photographer on the beach (just happened to be in the right place/right time) used to work on base and was familiar with the U-2. When she saw us fly over she had to grab another lens to get the shot and wasn't able to time it perfectly with the jets over the bridge so what you're seeing is a "layered" imaged of two photos that are a few seconds apart. Still...we had great luck that day. Here's some teasers...Once all the official photos come out I'll work on getting the cockpit video edited. The 2 seater also had a 360 camera in the front seat (where you can watch it on your phone and tilt around to see all angles).

What's your problem, Spoo?
