Don't let your wishful thinking cloud your judgement, Eaglebro. Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network Forums

Harvey - I didn't realize you are an 11F. Disregard everything after hello, plan on vanilla ACSC, and expect a quick turn back to the jet afterward. Because of the staff overhead, RAS/PAS ain't gonna happen for 11Fs anytime soon. I might be one of the last for a while. Who knows if my "RAS payback" has been delayed or permanently cancelled. Time will tell, but I'm not complaining. I wasn't looking forward to staff anyway. For what it's worth, you don't really know how awesome it is to breathe air in a fighter squadron until you leave it for a while. Can't wait to go back. Although school has been relatively fun (and definitely NOT boring or a waste of time), the rest of the world just pales in comparison to working in the CAF.

You know I'm going to a squadron in Korea, right? I have never seen an actively flying pilot in Korea get fragged for that shit. Also, this educational tour is a short remote, so I re-hacked my STRD. Local leadership knows I speak Korean, so they're planning to leverage that. I doubt that's possible in any of the 'Stans. Suck it, AFPC. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Me. Currently in Korea finishing school now. Skipping staff (11F shortage, yo) and craniuming back to the jet in 69 days. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

As an additional comment, realize that throwing your name in for PAS might also make the school board assume you're willing to go the RAS track for school (overseas IDE). That involves time at DLI as well, which only lengthens your non-flying time. Nowadays, since everyone has a DLAB score on file, you have to be explicit in how you communicate your intent and your desires. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I dunno man, the F-16 HABFM 9G vertical down is as full-up 9G as it gets, and it takes no prisoners. AGSM and neck strength are pretty important. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It sounds like you can definitely expect a staff tour on the back end. That should make for at least 3 years out of the jet, with no guarantee of return on your terms. If it's a match for your personal goals, go for it...especially if pol/mil stuff gives you a chub. If not, pass. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

In my heart of hearts I believe that IFS's greatest benefit is that it: 1. Gives LTs a chance to see if they actually like flying, 2. Gives early indication of airsickness tendencies, and 3. Gives LTs a look into the next couple of years of their lives. Seriously, it's a DOR/SIE prevention program, with a small dash of "flying training" thrown in. Don't sweat it. If you have your license, go get a couple hours with a CFI to assuage your fears. Or don't. You'll be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It hurts a little bit but I find myself missing it the way you miss muscle pain after a good lift. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Badass. I am just surprised. Just a year ago this would have been totally impossible. Let's keep the good changes rolling. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
