Scoobs, if the guy washed out of UPT and then ended up going to Nav training, that's normal. Guys that wash out of UPT are normally eligible to compete for Nav training unless their academic scores sucked. Again, reference 36-2205v4.

Obviously.

There is no age limit to FAIP. There are multiple prior-E dudes that are now FAIPs. The Captain comment is correct. See 36-2205v4.

So dudes are getting 60 hours per year at Yokota (except for those that get the deployment)?

Scheduled mission to land at Dannelly field to return F-16 maintainers home from a deployment. Tower was closed (early morning arrival). We landed without issue...without tower, SOF or an O-6 sitting there making sure we did what we were trained to do. Although I will admit my Co-Pilot was concerned that the tower wasn't there to say "cleared to land".

Doesn't pass the sanity check. Syllabus would call for a ground eval only. I take it you heard this from a friend of a friend that was in the other room.

That's a little funny.

That's unfortunate. Most of the LMs I've flown with we're more than happy to assist when given a little instruction. Our squadron provided training to help with confirmations checks (configurations and airport environment... Especially when on NVGs). We also trained them to do chart reading during low level flying.

And I would argue you missed the point of why we teach students to G strain in the T-6. It has more to do with teaching habit patterns for those that might end up in an aircraft that the G strain needs to be instinctive. Fighter FTUs shouldn't be wasting time teaching students to G strain correctly. They should have learned and practiced in SUPT.

True (recent change). However, currently if the individual gets a DP, then the PRF is blank. The most recent board allowed for the top 80% to get DPs.

I've seen it planned during some LFE's so that the formations could get lined up. Aircraft were parked in a manner such that they couldn't get into the correct position without the elephant walk.

It's on the AFPC website as well as in the PSDM. DP to 80%.

The LOE would be for anything prior to your UPT start date. Your TR would be for the period you're in UPT. You can't include stuff in a TR that did not happen during the period the TR covers.

One year on station so you could move the following summer with no waiver required. So ideally you move right before the board actually meets but after your PRF has been written. Of course you'll have to hope the base you move too will push a first look dude for school.

Based on what I saw as an OG Exec several years ago, it wouldn't surprise me if a commander was trying to hide a shitty record with a DP and the board figured it out.

It's all about personal preference as an IP. Lots of IPs live on base and quite a few live off base. Depends what you are looking as far as housing size, yard, etc.

Totally depends on the group and wing leadership. Current guidance is that it's acceptable. As far as what they get... Last XL drop had 1 fighter and everyone else got the aircraft you mentioned. Drop before that was only a little different.

Unless you're active duty and there is no host unit.... Which means leadership makes the decision...at the base level.

It's an old question but it wasn't answered correctly. Go read the 36-2205v4. There is no top 50% requirement to track T-38s. Leadership can use your low MASS score to decide your track, but they don't have too. They can also "force" dudes into a track if they feel it would be best.

KRDO (Pubelo, CO) is reporting it was a U-28. The article also lists the fallen. https://www.krdo.com/news/30498996/detail.html Him, Him

The T-38s were all active duty.

Contributions to your TSP that are made in months you were in a combat zone remain tax free. The earnings would be taxed, but not the original contribution when you withdraw it at a later date.

Nope. He's an AD Lt. Rest of XL drop. Here we're the aircraft dropped (don't have the bases or whether they were t1 or t38 students). C5 x 4 F16 (Active Duty) E8 E3 x 2 C17 x 3 AC130 C130 B1 MC12 x 2 KC135 x 2 T6 x 2 KC 10 x 2 (I think there were 2)

Because the dude that got pulled to fill that exec duty probably wants fly at some point (assuming he or she is a flyer). I've been a group exec and worked on a wing staff... You think the squadron gets a lot of BS taskers... You should see the shit that comes down from numbered AF and MAJCOM's. If you only have one dude working the exec job, that dude doesn't get to fly (at least not at the AMC base I was at). We had multiple execs so that someone could get out of the office.

No...that happens when you don't have a pilot in the aircraft.
