Degradation of SUPT
Can’t we just go back to the days where the former USAFA/CC and his wife openly admit they were sleeping together while in UPT? /s https://www.keesler.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/363745/paula-gould-generals-wife-pilots-life/

This is the same gate keeping that says only 11Fs can teach T-6/T-38 line abreast formation (read tactical). Granted a lot of non-11Fs (and even some 11Fs) suck at it initially, but it’s a skill that be gained/instructed.

The reserve associate UFT IP program by AFI is required to provide highly experienced instruction. A bunch of FAIPs is not that.

GS-13s (non-ART) for T-38s exist for IFF/PIT and are coming to T-38 UPT2.5/FBF because it’s now a graduate program, since they are UPs and not SPs now. T-6s can be 13s now as well because that’s what the CAIPs will be in 3 years 9 target 13 Edit: And no one cares about the T-1 since it’s going away and will be traditional sim/VR sim only.

It was chosen to extend the life of the T-38. It was nothing about CRM or mobility flying.

F35 navy crash rumor?
For what it’s worth, I had a primary spontaneous pneumothorax and thought I was having a heart attack. Still have pain from it, even now. Completely possible that’s what happened with that pilot and not myocarditis. yes, I just dox’d myself.
-
Part time, non-flying guard/reserve jobs in DFW?
You could always just look up 10 AF/A1M org box on global and ask. reserve vacancies only show when the billet is empty. There are a lot of billets than be overaged as long as there isn’t an over grade.
