Hail Bernie, full of grace.
Our commune is with thee.
Blessed art thou among comrades,
and blessed is the fruit of thy planned economy,
communism.
Holy marxism, Mother of Lennin,
pray for us Capitalists,
now and at the hour of our victory.
Amen.
ah but haven't you heard!? they are going to take a high school grad and 6 months later <BOOM> F-35 wingman!!!!!!
and do it with AI/SIMS so no IPs needed!!!!
most people have issue with this because the AF isn't solving a defined problem set.
problem: pilot retention
AF solution: enlisted pilots
huh?
i think a lot of us are skeptical that the AF is shooting for angles behind the scenes and not showing all the cards they're wanting to play and a lot of us are calling bull shit on their actions. big blue has a history of bluffing with 7 2 and now they're getting called by senior pilots holding A A.
which makes me think this isn’t about enlisted pilots but something else.
Relax and enjoy it. Soak it all up. You’ll love whatever you get (with exceptions)
+1 for AFSOC. I wanted fighters but had non to pick from so I picked AFSOC over t-6 FAIP. You can pick the FAIP route but I saw a lot of my buddies delay the fighter dream, FAIP, only to get a buff 3 years later.
That being said it’s hard to leave AFSOC once you’re in.
