Flight Evaluations and downgrades
We had an OG policy at one point that every form 8 had to have at least 2 comments: 2 commendables, 1 downgrade and 1 commendable, or two downgrades. F*cling stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What should I do in highschool to get a pilot slot?
If you’re medically qualified, you will get a pilot slot out of USAFA. My roommate was initially given a Nav slot because his grades were terrible. It was changed to pilot because the Academy didn’t fill all of its slots. They should have stuck with their initial decision… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2022 Active Duty Flying Training Board
There’s mandatory and there’s mandatory. I know plenty of ex-Navs and ABMs who don’t rock the biplane. Nobody is going to ever call them out for not wearing a mandatory badge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Prior to Omicron, the vaccine was thought to effectively reduce risk of and severity of infection. If you’re not infected, you can’t spread it; if the severity is reduced, then presumably the viral load and risk of spreading were also reduced. Realistically, the “no-mask if you’re vaxed” policies were probably just to incentivize getting the jab.

USAA
I am so over them. A fricking Nav hit my car months ago and the claim still hasn’t been fully closed out. What other companies can ya’ll suggest? Geico quoted me a little cheaper, but didn’t offer the higher liability coverages that USAA does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Retirement / Separation Considerations
Mandatory retirement date. You stay on til the final date, and sell the remaining leave as opposed to taking terminal. Probably only advisable if you don’t have a job lined up you can start while on terminal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You’re pretty much 100% without IDE. Continuation should be offered, though your Senior Rater can block it if you’re on their bad side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Promotion and PRF Information
I was told no SDE pushes (my wing only gave SDE pushes to Majors who were IDE in-res complete), no jobs above the wing level (had a non-flying job early, which meant I couldn’t both go to staff and meet flying gates) and my Promote Now pushline was no good (need to have Definitely Promote, even with the Promote box checked).

?s on logging flight time
It’s varies, but it doesn’t get complicated until you upgrade to IP. All Primary+Secondary time prior to AC upgrade is SIC. Primary+Secondary time after AC upgrade, as the A code, is PIC. IP time after IP upgrade is PIC if the A code, and might be PIC, depending on the airline, if not the A code. Edit to add: T-6 time as a student is Dual Received, T-1 time you can log as SIC.

You still payback any unearned portion per the ACP agreement. I think the only caveat is medical DQ, where you stop receiving, but don’t have to pay back any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flight Physical right before starting UPT?
You’re still initial aircrew, but I don’t believe corneal thickness is measured on annual flight physicals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t have the syllabus in front of me, but IIRC it’s less than 50 hours in the T-1 for the MAF Fundamentals Flight course. That will eventually give way to MAF Fundamentals Sim when they divest the T-1. In both cases, a lot of focus on AR/AD/LL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I meant production in numbers, not quality. They’ve slashed the T-1 syllabus, haven’t seen the -38 one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
