Nobody is hating on you kid. But if this is how you react to a little ball busting on a forum, trust me you don’t want anything to do with the fighter community. 1. Your dream of flying fighters is like 96.69% of every other kid going to UPT. If everyone could just walk into a guard sq and get a fighter, everyone would do it. 2. Yes, I’d accept the CSO slot then work up. If you couldn’t get to UPT on AD, the guard reserves is much more competitive unless you are “special”. 3. I cannot tell you how many times we see young Gen Z types l, some with golden resumes, internal recs and a lot of experience think they can just show up and get a job to find out that 69 people are competing for 1 spot. Good luck. Again, nobody hating, if you need genuine advice go ahead and DM me, but I sarcastically replied to your post as I would a student fighter pilot. Grow some thicker skin, lose all Sense of entitlement. Reach out for real advice. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Well you clearly deserve a fighter so if it looks like you gotta compete on active duty, you should just go to your guard unit of choice and tell them you want the first UPT slot available which fits your schedule. Make sure you request Sheppard so you don’t have to be around non fighter types. I’d hate you to be dissuaded by as the big blue does. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Rumor on the fighter street is sq/cc majors…field promotion to Lt Col. Gotta compete with direct hire to airline captain. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -

I’m an 01 guy, just here to fly, most of my peers left long ago for guard/reserve or airlines. The few that stayed AD are pinning on full bird Col and (most) are the types you expect when competition is scarce. A few good ones who are looking to punch. God help us.

Why does the USAFA even exist anymore? It’s an expensive way to make an officer and I can’t see any notable difference in quality between the rotc/ots/academy grads. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Want to fly fighters? Step 1. Find a ANG fighter unit that needs a quota because it’s overmanned with white males where you won’t have to compete to get there. Step 2. Min run the training system, if anyone questions you not meeting standards, request a new UPT flight, different IPs or different FTU unit. Trust that the system will ensure your success thru unlimited pandering regardless of your actual potential as a combat asset. Based on a true story.

I’m Gonna guess there’s a simulation environment that was built just for this thing and that 69% of testing was done before it rolled off the line. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Anyone here ever use a LLC to buy a fractional share of an aircraft? My plan is to sell my LLC 1/3 of my plane so the LLC can write it off the profits. Legal Guidance is pretty vague Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Two consenting adults f-cking TDY…yawn. I’m much more concerned about the judicial climate where consensual sex that is deemed a mistake afterwards can be weaponized. This same type of situation happened to a friend. He fought and was acquitted but lost his career. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -

When you guys max out the 22.5k limit on TSP, where do look to put the money next? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’ve had FTU students from traditional UPT, 2.0, the experimental UPT next and they all honestly end up about the same in the end. I’d much prefer a UPT that weeds out the weak and poor attitudes than teach irrelevant form landings and pie in the sky. Competition matters and performance under stress is needed to sort the chaff at UPT so tough flying should be a discriminator. Case in point, 90% of weak swimmers are direct to fighter guard/reserve hires who didn’t compete. Had they, they’d be no chance in hell they would show up here. The story I could/probably will eventually tell of the DEI unit hire that know they are an entitled and protected class. Cannot at the moment due to lawyers and stuff. At old school UPT I doubt this student would have made it thru T-37 solo phase. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

There are pretty strict rules defining “aerial demonstrations”, “flybys” and airshows with demo teams. No surprise someone got canned over this. Not saying it’s not cool or that it’s dangerous, just blatantly prohibited. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
Motion/g’s wouldn’t be where I’d spend any effort. We have the sim tech already, we’d just rather spend it on flying hours than invest because that’s how we’ve always done it. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
