Chicago?? Aren't there some financially-savvy politicians there??

Do you want requirements creep? Because that's how you get requirements creep. Seriously, though, to keep costs down they probably shouldn't try adding anything. Ref F-35.

What I think an "advanced" F-15 should look like...

Another ROTC know nothing.

If you're set on a particular airframe, find a guard or reserve unit that flies it and apply with them.

I went the ROTC route with active duty commission, so won't know airframe until graduation. I'm moderately versed in the guard/reserve path because a lot of my colleagues. Chem_teacher nailed it on the time between commission and class dates (about two years). Chem_teacher also is right on par with saying every scenario is different and pertinent to individual situations; as well as the 'good dude' comment. Guard and reserve units are a very close-knit fraternity, you've got the numbers for aptitude so the big thing is meshing well with their family. If you present yourself right and they want you in their unit, they'll get you the age waiver. Just keep up the fast pace to get something locked in, and do your research! You'll do great, try not to stress it too much. Before you know it you'll have your self a slot and think 'it was too easy.'

Read AFI 48-149 para.s 7.4. and sub-paragraphs. You cannot be forced to take these stimulants or sedatives. However, in the rare instances that the Wing/CC and MAJCOM determine that fatigue management medications are necessary to perform a mission, you may be excluded from that mission. Separately, you MUST perform ground testing on Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic) IAW AFI 48-123 para 1.1.2.1.

This is the answer...I have never, ever heard of someone blocking a flight control in my ten years of flying the Herk. This was the outlier. It was also a young crew, and I absolutely understand a 2-man cockpit making mistakes in the desert at night. This one just bit harder. Herks do a LOT of stops each mission, often times only 20-30min apart with 5-10min on the ground. Very easy to overlook things, and I'm always grateful we have an FE in the H to keep us honest.

Not sure, I'm a part timer so I usually have to use the longest words I can find to fill all the white space. It's hard to glorify, "made my sorties, almost every month..."

Kayla, First off, welcome back and congratulations! M2 gave a very good summary of EFMP a while back (though that last link is now dead), but here's some add-on. Definitely. You can be put on EFMP status for something as minor as a child with ADHD. In the end, it is the AF trying to make sure that you will have adequate care for your family, but you'll find that the paperwork and hold ups can be a MASSIVE pain in the ass, so do everything you can to lead-turn this and be proactive (i.e. don't trust the EFMP office to have a sense of urgency). Not necessarily - it all depends on the facilities that are available where you're going. Part of the reason EFMP is a pain in the ass is that the medical facility (specifically, the EFMP coordinator) where you are currently stationed needs to coordinate with the medical facility where you are going and ensure that they have the right type of clinics, therapists, facilities, etc., that your son needs. We just came from Germany, where - in addition to a full base clinic at Ramstein, they have Landstuhl Regional Medical Center - the largest US medical facility in Europe. I do know that England (Lakenheath) has a full-up hospital on base (as opposed to the clinics most bases have), so that isn't necessarily out of the question either. I would suggest you call the EFMP office at Pease and see if they can determine the possibility going to either of those three locations.
