You absolutely can double dip with alert tours, or any other military orders for that matter. You must be in some sort of a civilian leave status, however, to get paid for both civilian and a full day of military orders. Same with inactive military training period if it encompasses part of your civilian normally scheduled duty hours What you can't do any more is the famous "three for ones."

If the AD is so interested in taking fighters from the Guard why did they just recently give them Block 50s and 40s? They could have just kept those jets.

But, if you do, make sure you're inebriated and jack with the unsuspecting reporters just a little bit:

Applies so much to UPT. To this day I hear people talk about how much Vance/Enid sucks. I (and most of the guys in my class) had an awesome time and I know that if I had the same class at any of the UPT bases I would say the exact same thing.

Sorry, on my phone so I can't link the image correctly. My pops used to have some patches of this, now that DADT is jacked, I should have him make some more. https://www.jetwashimages.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=70&pid=1458#top_display_media

www.progspec.com has the BEST UPT bundles. You'll get patches & stickers at a lower price than just patches every where else. Plus you'll get more of everything. Customer service beats all these other jokers.

Talk to your unit about doing some work while you're back home (go make some popcorn) and then they'll just put you on orders for a TDY (as Toro said, this won't be permissive).

CDBaby waits until they have enough tunes to fill a hard drive and then mails it to Apple. It could be a couple months.

As a lot of guys have already said... Once you get into Phase I and get checked out in the UTD you can go over and use those as much as you want. Even with no screen, the T-6 UTDs will give you a far better experience than a PC. You can flip all the switches and get your checklist flows down pat before you even get to the flight line. You'll be able to have all that crap memorized so you'll be able to just get it done instead of having to reference the pocket checklist every freaking step. Then, when you get closer to instruments, you can spend a bunch of time shooting approaches. Even at that, there is nothing cosmic about the T-6 (or T-38). After a few flights you'll be all spun up.

Whatever you do, don't get the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100 8.1 Megapixel point & shoot. I bought it a few years ago and have been completely disappointed in it's photo quality in almost any condition.

Enjoy. Right Click, Save As

When you show up and get your pubs, you'll get a set of the SQ standards and local guidelines that outlines basically everything you say on the radio, including talking with the RSU. When in doubt, <who you're talking to> <who you are> <what you want> If you already know where you're going to UPT, you could get a copy from one of your bros. A lot of it may not make sense to you, but it's really not all that difficult.

If you ride in Oklahoma, don't play around with these OHP dudes: https://www.pbase.com/wingman26/oklahoma_highway_patrol They've got 2 now, with at least one more on the way.

You obviously have uber-high SA... Can't imagine why you'd be considered inferior and getting yelled at. Man up like the rest of us and press, dude. Thousands have done it before you. Suggest you keep your personal thoughts of IPs to yourself, though.

Yup. K4 Blue/White GSXR-750.

I'll be damned if those pics aren't in the SlumRidge itself.

You can pay more, but you can't get better quality: Progressive Specialties https://www.progspec.com

At Vance, we were issued the trainers for both T-6 and T-38. The T-6 ones were small-ish, but the -38 are full poster sized.

1. Everything except furniture. Bookcase, bed & sheets, chairs, and things like that are included in the room. You can choose to have all or none of it removed. 2. Bring your own 3. Yes. A microwave is included in the room, though. 4. No. A bowling alley and the club is all thats on base.

His call sign == "Shocker"

I just got initial issue of equipment at Vance. No G-shock (but, I didn't ask for it either...) [ 10. June 2006, 17:46: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]

For clarification: By no means is visiting the only way to get an interview (and the converse is true as well, visiting does not mean you'll get an interview). Being enlisted is going to help you out. Just make your packet as good as you can and keep at it. [ 09. October 2005, 19:31: Message edited by: UPT-hopeful ]
