They are both internet blowhards attempting to make a name for themselves by throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks, over the bodies of people's friends and loved ones. Jumping the gun, bad guesses, they cover all the bases of poor incident investigation.

If you’re headed to Vance, msg me and I’ll be happy to chat Everyone teaches form.
-
I've seen a lot of follow-on promises in 13 years...take guesses as to how many actually came true, I'll wait.
-
Vance still does a Friday winging/grad ceremony. The dinner/banquet has been dead due to covid, there were rumors of it coming back, those have died again.

~100 hours in T-6s, around an additional 40 in the T-1.
-
at least for fighters, the syllabus is longer, 96 hours in the T-6 versus the 60ish they got in the legacy syllabus plus a full T-38 syllabus
-
Feedback was first person direct to me, a T-6 ip who trained them, so I could make changes for subsequent classes. Still tiny sample sizes, but so far, they are certainly no worse than what we put through before
-
FWIW, the first UPT 2.5 class hasn’t even showed at the FTUs yet, the initial T-1 studs just dropped 2 weeks ago, the -38 studs still have several months. Initial feedback from the T-1 and T-38 IPs is that the stick and rudder skills are comparable to legacy syllabus students, but critical thinking/contingency analysis, inflight adaptation are better than they’re used to seeing.
-
My student yesterday would probably attest that even in upt 2.5, stress is plentiful and raging helmet fires are still very normal, though I’m not sure if he’s landed yet, considering how far behind the plane he was.
-
There are several, the primary one is next to one of the campsites in west row, was still open when I left 20 days ago

🍺 a toast...

I’ll dissent on the Massifs, they are different, not better. The fabric is good, the sizing And fit is atrocious, I’ll go back to the bag happily. They nailed it on the jackets, but the flight suits are no improvement.
-
This is it right here. As a Lt, I went to red flag and saw fellow Lts flying fighters be more or less get locked in the vault for 12 hours, my intro to 130s was the sq/cc asking if I had completed my masters yet, and then scolding me because I hadn’t even started it.

Add another 5-10 years at a minimum

I've got my boat driving license, was worth the cost. I only bled a little.
-
they were hot as hell every time I went, you just needed to drink a lot more.
-
So imagining things or being lied to, awesome.

-
Same PT shirts as everyone else, in the back with the rest of the uniform stuff.
-
Some poor bastard at Yokota has to take the RPA must fills. At least they'll PCS all the way across the pacific for 6 months before they head to Randolph.
-
I miss all the fun!
-
Hope to see a timeline soon, mildenhall was/is next for me.
-
He seemed like a good dude at Yokota, from a young guys perspective. He was regularly in the squadron, engaged with everyone. flew with him once or twice, didn't hate it.

No, I don't think I'll ever be over macho grande
