Had a Wing/CC recently say that “the bonus is out and I have been told by the Gen’s to let you all know. The information is in the email if you want to read about it and ask your leadership if you have questions. However, I will say before you sign the bonus truly look at it and ask your self if the AF has or is changing the way the Gen’s say it is. I’m skeptical” First CC of any type I have heard pretty much say don’t take the bonus.

Yes... Yes, THE would have.

One of my favorite quotes...

I have not. Just my RNLTD for PCS. I called the squadron to see and they told me to expect a class around 30 days after arrival. That's for Vance.

I remember doing TI at FL 41-45, at night with solid WX from 500 feet to FL 40 at Osan. What a way to learn as a 1Lt.

That’s what Blitz told me. I think they actually may have pushed the board back a ways too so I’d ask about that.

Because new wingmen don't have the proficiency and experience for going that low. In a training environment, is there a need to press? One size does not fit all. The former SAC Instrument School has morphed into the Advanced Instrument School, and they have done a ton of instrument-flight related research over the years. There is wreckage on final approach in to Osan to prove it. Investigating instrument-approach related mishaps drove some of the restrictions that are in place and the mishap rate in this area dropped significantly.

Just like when the internal combustion engine but the entire horse-transportation industry, the entire steam engine industry, and others out of work forever...the world was never able to recover.

If I remember correctly, whiteman said they do not expect to run age waivers on their bogidope posting but I’d still apply! I’d be a liar if I said I haven’t been in interviews where a post-30 dude got the job after the unit said they don’t do waivers. You never know man don’t give up!

Answers to both questions is NO. T-38's don't guarantee a fighter either. We have 5-7 T-38 grads in my AWACS squadron. Needs of the AF. All you should care about is being a student pilot and learning to fly. It's good to have goals. But manage your expectations. No one flies solo, so being a good team player is the key to success. The instructors don't care how good of hands you have, if you taze your bros to better yourself, you'll be flying the furthest thing from a fighter if they don't wash you out for airmanship. I want a 5th gen as well, but it's last on my priority list of what I want to get out of UPT. I'm just happy and thankful to have the opportunity to be there, period dot. "Just Happy To Be Here".
