@LAPS might feel differently and I definitely can't speak for them, but I have had similar questions... I was told to not self-eliminate - Make them tell you no. I think that's good advice.

PCSM 2.0 is very heavily based on flight hours. A PCSM of 74 for 16 flight hours most likely means your 201+ column is mid to high 90's. Keep flying, earn that pilots license, and I highly doubt it will be difficult for you to get an interview. At that point, just be yourself (I know, but it's true), and hopefully a unit will see you as a good fit.... Just as long as your degree isn't gender studies.

Some people were dropped on their heads as kids, you were obviously thrown at a wall with great force. I kid... But seriously, in your universe is Kaepernick really above Fox News? A self-described "civil rights activist" who didn't vote, but has verbalized his support of Fidel Castro?

Holy sh!t, we really are going to have to learn the same lessons 2 or 3 times...

Less F-35's and more supers... As a legacy hornet driver I can't imagine you disagree.

Wow, really? Thanks for the info. I was told it was a 2-4 mile timed run every other day, in addition to other workouts (including weight training) so I was going to prepare for that.

I also would've accepted "Don't be genetically weak"

You can't do anything about your BA GPA now. The best thing you did was control what you could -- you got mid 90's on the Pilot section of the AFOQT and PCSM score. Low Quantitative score depends on the unit. If you get an interview and don't get the job, ask for feedback. They've been there before, and they understand. Scores get you the interview; the interview gets you the job. Whole person concept. Good luck!

If that's the truth, he gets more respect from me than he would if he made another Twitter statement. In all honesty, I thought the whole '100,000 National Guard members to help detain illegal immigrants' fiasco was self-leaked. It was 100% positive for Trump. It would allow him to (1) see what the public reaction of such a bold move would be, (2) prove that the MSM whines first and rarely fact-checks, and finally (3) come out and simply say "nope, didn't ever propose that" and watch as the MSM is publicly humiliated. But regardless, I don't think that this was a leak by Trump, although most of the media seems to be already falling back into their old habits -- complaining about Trump paying more taxes in one year than most people will make in their entire lives... And also, revealing the big scandal that he, like everyone else, does not want to pay taxes that he's not legally required to pay... *gasp* The outrage of such a notion!

You're fake news.

No, mainly because shoving more pilots into a single jet doesn't solve your problem. Eventually, the "good flyer" jets will have to go into phase inspections and the like (365/728). Plus, I'm pretty sure the stealth upkeep requires more time in the hangar per flight hour.

I've been doing the math for the F-22 pipeline (worst case scenario since production was cut early into its life). I've seen 1-2 raptors drop every ENJJPT class, plus one or two every so often from the other bases. There are only 186 Raptors, and assuming an optimistic "up jet" status of 80%... I see two lines converging very quickly. Maybe @11F could shed light on how backed up the F-22 pipeline is so that my pure speculation isn't taken as fact.

Well at least we don't "have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it... away from the fog of the controversy *insert menacing smile*" -Pelosi Now she's saying "The American people and Members have a right to know the full impact of this legislation before any vote in Committee or by the whole House." At least she's figured out that if you contradict yourself all the time, you're right at least half of the time! Big win.

Holy sh!t, my favorite James Bond now looks like a Bond Villain.

Just gonna put this here...

One thing's for certain, the lawyers will make a fvck ton of money on the lack of defined legality pertaining to social media.

Thread was revived, and I had to make sure it wasn't too soon.

Government problem solving.

"Two in the..." I'm sure none of his fellow aviators made that joke.

SAPR: Teaching sexual predators where the line is so they go up to it but don't cross it since 1969.

Yeah, screw that. Give them the finger behind their backs by buying cargo pants and smuggling in enough candy/popcorn/sodas for the whole family.

What about a guard/reserve guy that gets picked up by a fighter unit? I personally know one guy that is being told to request Sheppard to get the "fighter-oriented" training, and obviously he's on board. Any opinion on whether or not that decision will help/hurt his chances at B-course? I know attitude is what makes or breaks someone, but just looking for opinions on B-course performance of ENJJPT guys vs guys who tracked T-38's from another base.

Do ENJJPT studs have a higher B-course washout rate now? What changed in the selection method?

I'll go with this one.

Saved that file simply because there's so much good information for any ANG/AFRES UPT applicant/selectee. Thank you.
