To your AOC comment, because that's what they put for their first choice for school. I'm sure a lot of them actually like AOC for a school gig especially since it's a command tour. Not to mention USAFA AOC is a very high indicator for O-6. For the attached flying billet thing, the pilot Dean of the Faculty guys need to press their Respective flying coordinator to get USAFA/A1K to change more billets to P prefix and update the API codes IAW USAFAI36-3503 Management of Flying Personnel.

Was Gates for a light attack? I thought he was only interested in buying more Preds.

36-3207 is Commissioned Officer Separations. 36-3206 is Admin Discharge for Officers. Really what you're going to want is the Separations PSD from MyPers.

News reported that he was picked up by helo dudes. Radio makes sense if he's talking to those guys.

I don't see the Navy response as all that positive. It just seems that the Striking IPs have ground naval aviation to a halt and so now that VADM has to save face. Especially telling is the pilots that said only 6 air test tubes were given for all their jets. "Some instructor pilots point to Rear Adm. Dell D. Bull, chief of naval air training, as the culprit in ignoring the unsafe conditions. “He is telling us to just, ‘shut up and color,’” one pilot said. "

Go be the lucky one and get the IMA slot at the 81 FS teaching A-29s at Moody.

There's a pilot that got his PC approved into the unit youre talking about. I'll look tomorrow to find his name.

Do you not allow them to talk about anything else besides training during MQT?

FWIW, there is a syllabus that fits your description. The T-38 TX syllabus has a track for MAF dudes that flew T-1s in UPT and have a T-38 PIT class follow on. Edit: I know your a CAF bubba but it was written assuming T-1=MAF.

As usual the AFTimes has terrible journalism. It was a Lt Col's drive. Probably will pick up O-6, get SDE, and pin it all on a lieutenant though. https://www.zdnet.com/article/leaked-us-military-files-exposed/

Back to the bonus, from what I saw from DRAFT is 11F/11U gets $35K. 11B/11M/11S get $34. 11H/11R get $28K. There also was the addition of 1, 2, and 13 year contracts and possible renegotiation if Congress ups the amount. Edit: Also bonuses for 12F/12B 5 yr @ $15k, 12H 5 yr @ 20k, 12R/12S 5 yr @ $10k. No love for 12M Who knows if this is actually approved

You aren't being racked and stacked against other UPT bases for advanced phase. AETC determines the numbers based on a multitude of factors.

I'm sure that was the smoothest happening in the world.

It's more expensive from the brief I saw actually for everyone to go T-X. But the brief still had it has the top choice.

T-38 numbers for CBM makes sense since they are barely treading water with their student requirements.

2 on getting checked. A guy I knew got Type 1 Diabetes from a viral infection while he was in b-course. Not worth risking your life to stay in the jet.

We're back to the annual T-1/T-38 dick measuring. Having flown both aircraft there's no argument that the T-38 requires more stick and rudder skills, but that wasn't the point of the T-1. FWIW, this disagreement will be moot in the next decade though because there will be another T-X buy to replace the T-1 and we're going back to Generalized UPT (GUPT). That's the official name. After T-6s some guys will go to Rucker but after that there will be an advanced phase track select.

Meh, the T-50 will end up doing a homeland defense mission and the AF will buy A-29s for light attack.

Not sending royalties to Embraer by way of SNC. The AT-6 does the same thing with Pilatus.

Just make everyone go T-38s again and bring back the attrition!

The AF had testing done for ejection seat EFB in the MB T-38 seat. It didn't stay on and posed a "hazard" with the knee board. Funny thing is in the same report they tested another kneeboard with the IFG and checklist attached to it and came to the same conclusion.

Let me guess, the only way to get $35k is to select the 13 year contract.

The T-100 is back in the mix. https://www.defensenews.com/articles/leonardo-goes-it-alone-on-tx-bid

In other news, Raytheon and Northrop both dropped out.

What does a FAIP have to do with a T-1 direct? Non T-38 UPT guys go to B-2 after their first tour.
