No, your guard unit is probably paying for a T-6 slot for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Active duty switch from from heavy to fighter
CaptainMorgan replied to Josephohhumble's topic in General Discussion
Dude, based on your SA, you shouldn’t be flying anything. Several of us posted your options, and you apparently didn’t bother to read any of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Fair enough, apologies for calling you a dumbass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So how am I in the KKK when you’re calling him white while I sarcastically called him “white hispanic?” He’s Hispanic, maybe he’s a she if zer identifies as such, but FLEA calling him a “white dude” is the mischaracterization here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still an incredibly slim chance, but FAIPing T-6s would be your best bet. If you do that and kick ass, and have the right timing and commander, you may have a shot. Still incredibly rare, but it’s not unprecedented. 2nd best bet is to fly heavies, then U-2, B-2, or B-21 (depending on how they staff it and if they use the -38 or 7 as a companion trainer).

Does CJCS get a senior enlisted leader? How will he fare without having Bass (or Bass?) to talk and take selfies on his behalf? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get to a UPT base before the last class starts and volunteer. T-1 is projected to be done at Laughlin in 2024, and Vance and Columbus in 2025. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to clarify, XPW is not sim only. You bypass the T-6, and as a result cannot be FAIPed, so it’s a great deal if you’re wanting heavies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Air Force Fundamentals (AFF) is the sim-only T-1 program for high time, ATP holding students. XPW is a T-1 only program (think legacy syllabus with a couple extra blocks of training to compensate for no T-6s) intended for Commercial, Multi-Engine, Instrument types, but the only required pre-req is flight screening.

Are the sim only T-1 folks FAIP eligible? What about XPW? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve used a VPN in the past for one Caribbean resort chain, they would offer lower prices if you change your location to outside the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had a guy in my class who was hired for F-16s in the Iowa ANG. He finished just a spot or two below top half in T-6s, and was not sent to -38s. They sent him to T-1s on the condition he would find himself a new unit. He didn’t, so the T-1 Sq/CC found one for him. As for the 3rd question, that shouldn’t happen AFAIK.

I’m just hoping budget priorities result in a crew ratio adjustment and an “excess” of pilots and they open up VSP/TERA again. Wishful thinking I know, but given how inept our leadership is, nothing surprises me and I could see it happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My phone counseling was about a month after my board results, with an AFPC O-5, and it was a waste of time. It basically went like this: Him: For your next OPR, make sure it says X, Y, and Z. Me: My “next OPR” just closed out, and my PRF is due in 2 weeks because HAF accelerated the board schedule. Him: Oh, well, good luck. As far as continuation, if you’re a pilot with a clean record, you should definitely be offered it. I’ve known several pilots who didn’t make Major and still got offered continuation to 20 as a Captain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
CaptainMorgan replied to Toro's topic in General Discussion
They’re probably trying to figure out which AFSCs they’ll offer the full 50k to, and which will be a reduced amount. I doubt they have enough budgeted to offer it across the board. Congress is a big part of the problem when they put the amount into law, but don’t provide enough $$$. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Retirement / Separation Considerations

And if ClearedHot led like he claims he did, he might have been your leader. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I say Biden/DeSantis ticket for 2024. Dems get what they want as long as Biden stays alive. Republicans get what they want when he dies, and until then they get the Senate back by having DeSantis as the tie breaker (assuming no shift from the current seats). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
