review of f-35 mishap. just damn...

has anyone ever been an IP for fighter B-courses and want to share their 0.02 cents?

how are they still dropping A-10's.

congrats man!

wow, I did not know the 2.5 syllabus was dead. if selected for 38s, will they still be taught under civilian schools?

ahh gotcha. thank you. from what ive read while skimming the past few pages (TLDR) is that they're gonna have civilian instructors for ipt and their is no aircraft chosen to train on yet?

wait, sorry ive been off BO for a little due to BMT, but you mean to tell me that the AFs' plan to train the fighter track in the future is to have all students go to IFT, fly the katana, and straight to the t-7? would the timeline for UPT be cut short or are they just switching to more sim focused training? it seems like the t-7 won't be operational until 2028 and the t-6 is going to be retiring in a couple years. is that correct?

looks like a 35. hopefully the pilots OK.

apologies for the way too specific problem, and hoping to find a solution on a forum. anyways, for knowledge sake, I was diagnosed with chronic ear infection and was given allergy medicine (loratadine tablets and fluticasone propionate nasal spray) by my doctor. when I went to my ENT, she cleaned the wax out of my ears and gave me ciprofloxdexameth otic susp ear drops which helped with hearing loss and the middle ear infection. things have been going good so far (knock on wood), so hopefully this can help anyone else who runs into the issue.

I always knew you were into that stuff.

anyone watch the blue angels IMAX movie?

I agree. I guess I just haven't met anyone that knocks my socks off. I would love to find someone who pushes me when im tired or understands what I want, but its just hard to find. im glad you were able to.

kind of an abnormal post, but my question is, do you think people do better in UPT if single? I had a good talk with one of the MSGT's in my unit, and we were discussing what I wanted to do, and we both agreed that dating while trying to pursue a fighter slot should be something to shy away from because of how busy a fighter pilot's life can be. dont get me wrong. with all due respect, I love women and dream to start a family as well, but I do believe that they can distract you from your goals. as most of you know, the energy, money, and time spent on a significant other is enormous. I can't seem to shake the idea in my head of "how much better I could be doing without one while trying to pursue the slot," which is the reason I dont date.

if you're a guard pilot, and reach lt col or higher, are you assigned staff jobs in DC, etc. like AD or are you allowed to just stay at your unit and continue flying. if memory serves correctly, in the guard, pilots fly the same amount no matter what rank meaning they don't have to deal with any non-flying assignments?
