If this here happens I can see Kampala putting that ole hag Pelosi, who is freaking 80 yrs old, as her VP. Military budgets would get cut with training $$s getting the biggest hit. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Was that the Helo gal that called her sister Pedro ship a coward for not picking her up? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

1st female Air Force combat vet in run for congress

Man... I am at Altus for PIQ.... Altus, OK! And the local airwaves are filled with anti-“you know who” ads (don’t want to say her name and have to pay $5.00 to the good ole A-10 folks.) Why the hell would they blow add money this Far East of Arizona? Lol I could care less Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
Nahhh that makes too much sense... Anything that makes sense, our military will probably do the opposite. Gotta keep China guessing haha Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

My Pers Account Advice Needed for UFT Application
CharlieHotel47 replied to Kilo_Gram's topic in Pilot Selection Process
PM whenever bro. Always happy to help. The inter service program is NOT for prior rated military pilots. I had to send my app as an off the street guy. I submitted the two packets back in 2018 through the board rep at Randolph. 3 weeks after the dead line I was offered a guard slot (Thank god!) ... so decided to withdraw my AD apps. I when I was rushing, I was attacking all positions available to me. Guard, reserves, with AD being my plan C. I always recommend all the bros to do the same.

I was a civil engineer prior to UPT. I couldn’t stand being in a cubical... even though I was probably out on the field 30% of the time, it still sucked wondering if it would be the same thing over and over again for the next 40 years. Even as part time guard helo pilot... the future did not look very appealing to me. You’ll miss the simplicity of things... or more less how black and white things are. It will never be like that in the AF or military... period. Once your in, there will always be the next test, next checkride, the next upgrade, promotion, deployments... you name it. Like the bros above said, enjoy your time now to chill, be with the fam friends hobby or w e. UPT is a long year full of long days, Sunday Scaries, and being evaluated on everything you do. There’s never enough time... and you’ll never know it all. Again, the simplicity of things is about the only thing I sometimes miss about my old engineer job. Stay motivated and keep chasing the demon! Let the rejections and the TBNT e-mails fuel your passion of achieving your goals of getting hired and finding a military home. PS, if your so impatient about making the jump now, go join the Army. The need pilots too lol Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Also not listed on the application checklist is a DD368 (conditional release)... the board will not consider you unless you have one in hand. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
My Pers Account Advice Needed for UFT Application
CharlieHotel47 replied to Kilo_Gram's topic in Pilot Selection Process
You won’t be able to get an account unless you are own by the AF. You should be able to submit your stuff via email to the board managers at Randolph. When I was going thru, I was going to have them route my age waiver and all other apps thru a rep at their office. Are you a rated helo guy? If not, you might have some issues getting an FC1 Scheduled. From what I remember the physical is also required for submittal. Good luck! Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
CharlieHotel47 replied to a topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
Are you a prior rated guy waiting on UPT dates? If your just a regular guy OTS bound or just done with OTS with no UPT dates, your FC1 approval packet goes to the end of the pack. They usually put priority to push 2992s for bros with school dates in hand or darn navy marine rated guys going direct to a PIQs Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
Word at vance was that Laughlin couldn’t meet number because a couple of NAV Studs hooked their ride. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

This is probably the dumbest ideal I have ever heard of... what are they going to accomplish by segregation? Are they hoping to attract more minorities by advertising such conditions at UPT? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

No longer with us. One of the Sim instructors at vance told me it was rapidly eating up aircraft time and quickly pushing aircraft overhaul timeframes way forward than expected. It ended back in 2013 I think. Now most of the fleet is nearing overhaul, and from what He understands, there’s a plan being floated around about making the UPT 2.5 Toner phase (about 3 months) SIM only with no actual T1 time.

AMF topoff STUDs in Banzai are about done with T6 phase and the extra AMF stuff. Apparently the Toner banzai bros will have a shorter Toner phase similar to what is expected at 2.5. Not sure about the 38s.

Combat time with no combat pay? Hope those boys get some air medals with V devices. Dangerous times to be living in fellas. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app -
I could be wrong, but I thought the waiver requirement was for GPAs below a 2.2. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Thanks for the gouge bros. I’m finishing up UPT at vance in about two months. Im a guard guy and my unit has been silent on 135 school dates. Probably because of the end of the year FY stuff. Wondering if any other guard bros here have dates in hand for FY21. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Damn. So what’s the average time for 135 PIQ? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
CharlieHotel47 replied to a topic in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves
We submitted mine at around the same time I came back from WP. You can submit as early as you want from what I understand but the hold up in the back side will be that it will not be approved until the SG at NGB has reviewed and stamped your FC1. I don’t think you’ll gain time from submitting early but if your recruiter is telling you to do so, follow his lead. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
