trucktech84 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I believe 13-15 was administratively cancelled and renamed 14-01. I know they shifted a couple classes to address some training issues. So I don't think you are going to see anything.
Bojangles Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 It's a combination of bigger classes and budget cuts leaving planes grounded. From what I understand, the primary backup is on the T-1 side of training.

trucktech84 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 The new syllabus has them doing around 14ish low levels in advanced. Inevitably they get weathered out and it is taking months to get classes off the flight line. I was there for the transition from the old to the new syllabus and it was a mess. Makes sense for them to slip some class dates for breathing room.
CDAWG Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 14-01 had a drop night. Anyone know the results?
Bojangles Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Don't have them all on hand but it was a pretty big class. Several of just about everything including 9 BUFFs, 4 F15, and 5 RC135.
euro2005 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 That's correct about them taking 13-15 and just cancelling that class. They were now 14-01. It was so backep up on the T-1 side...a complete mess! I was in the high level phase when it was at its worst. It sucked sitting on standby to fly for 2 weeks straight. 13-14 was still doing their low level flights...because of the crappy weather they obviously didn't fly much. This put a huge crunch on them...weekend classes for almost 2 months straight and they even double turned sims so they could graduate on time. 5 of them got rolled back into 13-15 too (before they cancelled 13-15s grad date). So yeah, 13-15 = no CSO drop or graduation. And ever since, they had to swap the last 2 phases of training (AI and the low levels) so nobody would spend 3 weeks just sitting around doing nothing. anyways, this was (13-15s) 14-01s drop: F-15E x4 AC-130W Nav x1 AC-130H EWO x1 B-1B x1 MC-130J Nav x1 RC-135 EWO x5 B-52H x9 C-130H x2 (Nat'l Guard and Reserve drops) EC-130H Nav x1 U-28 x1 14-02s drop from yesterday: AC-130U EWO x1 AC-130H Nav x1 AC-130W Nav x1 U-28 x2 B-52H x5 RC-135 EWO x3 B-1B x3 EC-130 Nav x1 F-15E x5 E-3 AWACS x1 C-130E/H Nav x1 ^^^ this is such an awesome drop. I just hope they saved enough B-1s & AC-130s to go around for my class! I'm in 14-04.
CDAWG Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Wow 14-02 had an awesome drop. Nice selection of aircraft! Thanks for posting this!

attakmint Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) So my drop night was last night, 14-09 (08+1) 4xF-15E (me) 2xB-1B 1xU-28, Cannon 1xRC-135 Nav 2xRC-135 EWO 1xEC-130 Nav, Compass Call 1xHC-130J Nav, to DM 2xMC-130J Navs, both to Kadena 1xKC-135 1xHC-130P, reservist 2xC-130 slicks, guard/reserve I'm trying to remember the last class (14-08), very similar numbers in an even smaller class. MC130 EWO to Herby HC-130J to DM RC-135 Nav and EWO 2xB-1B 4xF-15E AC-130U Nav U-28, not sure where Compass Call, I think Nav That should be everything from those two drops. Had to make a correction or two. Edited April 27, 2014 by attakmint
nsplayr Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for posting man! Tell the U-28 to Cannon guy to PM me if he has any questions or wants any info on the community or the Land of Enchantment out west. Looks like a great drop BTW.
attakmint Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Will do! Yeah, most everybody was thrilled with these last two. We were a little worried that the last class took everything and we would be left holding the bag.
CDAWG Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Your class threw a great drop night! Had several beers myself. Did everyone get their top choice or close? The only guy who didn't look happy was the one who got the KC-135.
attakmint Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Yeah, he wasn't thrilled, he's ok now. Kinda the initial shock type of thing. One other student wasn't thrilled initially, but they're loving their assignment too by the end of the night. Glad you had fun. And yeah, we almost all got what we wanted. I'll be here for a while, so I'll report drop numbers while I can. 14-10 3 Strikes 2 B-52s HC Nav to DM EC Nav to DM MC EWO 2 U28s B-1 KC 2 guard/reserve C-130s 14-11 3 Strikes 6(!) B-52s U-28 EC Nav EC EWO MC EWO KC 2 guard C-130s 1

CDAWG Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Navs will be going away in the tanker world in the next 2-3 years. I know they only use Navs for Spec Op missions, are they upgrading and won't need a Nav? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

attakmint Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) C-130s is exactly right. 4 guard/reserve, 2 AD Yokota. The slide at the end of the drop was wrong, there were 4 F-15s. Dunno why it was bad. I was impressed at the sheer variety of this drop. Lots of the rare planes, only like the 2nd or 3rd time seeing some of these this FY, and some that haven't been given out for a few months. Edited July 19, 2014 by attakmint
Disco_Nav963 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Are the BUFF slots dropping as Nav/EWO slots at PCola, or is that getting sorted out at the FTU?
