Yes. HD

Well, I guess that's a different way to use "assmaster" and "C-17 community" in the same sentence. HD

Hey man, you're the one who said it. HD

I have no idea. MLS is like TACAN, it was designed by the military to be used at FOB airfields as a cheap, transportable navaid. HD

The MLS was designed to be a self-contained (DME included), cheap, and portable precision approach NAVAID. They figured it would be huge and all airports would eventually have one. This was before the ILS was the standard and places like DFW, SFO, etc. were the only places you were likely to find one. So most airports started installing ILSs because they're more reliable and rendered the MLS useless with the expection of sporadic military use. HD [ 02.

Whoever gave you that advice is an idiot. "Options open?" If you go to Tones, you have the option of maybe...just maybe getting a Herk in your drop. If you go to Corpus, you have one option...a Herk. Nope. All slick drivers are and most spooks are with two exceptions. HD [ 02. August 2006, 01:26: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

I should have disclaimed it. I'm sure it has changed. HD

The B-2 is an open program. No MWS prerequisite. HD

Nope. On the Herk we have NAVs. I will pistol whip the next person who says "CSO". HD [ 25. July 2006, 18:20: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

1) Your ADSC starts on the day you get your wings. Add in casual and training time and it really equals about 12 years. 2) It is hard to wash out of UPT these days. 3) Yes, there is a low washout rate and most are attributed to medical DQs and SIEs. 4) Study hard, chair fly, pay attention, help your classmates, and graduating from UPT won't be a problem. 90% of it is in your head, 10% is your natural ability to fly a plane. 5) It isn't guaranteed that you will be kicked out if you do wash out. If you had a good attitude, people will go to bat for you and try to get you retrained in another career field. But with force shaping, you're still putting yourself in a bad position. If you SIE (read: waste the AF's time and money) you're out. 6) Finally, if you are not willing to risk getting kicked out or a 10-year commitment, don't go to UPT. If you REALLY want to fly, those things won't be that big of a deal to you. HD

It's different for different planes. HD

Who goes: Any person in an AFSC that requires the training. There are plenty of people that go who don't require it though. When: Most people go right after graduating UPT. But some will go to FTU, PCS to their unit, and then go. It all depends on how many open spots there are at a given time. How long: About three weeks. What happens: Starve, eat some bugs, light a fire, kill bunnies, and . Try searching "SERE" in the search function. There have been several threads on this in the past. HD [ 13.

Suck it up. HD

For what? HD

This post tells me nothing. If you are wanting advice on what would be the best route for you to get a commission, you need to give some information. If you have a degree already, then OTS and the airman commissioning programs are the quickest route. If you don't have a degree, then when are you going to get one? Are you going to finish your enlistment and then go to college? You apply to the USAFA or apply for an ROTC scholarship. Figure out where your commissioning is going to come from and then you can worry about getting into pilot training. The thing to remember is you have a better chance of getting a pilot slot through the academy or ROTC. Let us know your situation and we'll be able to help you a little better. Also, there have been countless threads on this subject already, so the search function could really help you. HD [ 26. June 2006, 11:56: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

Classic! 4fan, that made my day. HD [ 26. June 2006, 11:36: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

And don't post pictures of yourself like this one. This pic is what you might call "ammunition". It will be used to the fullest extent. HD

That boy has made a world of hurt for himself. I spent some time reading through his journal and.....wow. HD [ 26. June 2006, 01:57: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

That'd be my guess. HD

Well, would you call the FRED an "expenditure" or a "disaster"? HD

F-cking Ridiculous Economic Disaster HD
