More Liquid types please. No really, the product was below average (generally) once in the USAF system. Don't get me wrong, good dudes and all but we aren't the Navy. 1

I was never an FTU or UPT IP so I'll defer to those with the first hand knowledge & experience. But I did go through Whiting and thought I did OK at the FTU...and also may have been a tad defensive. Dunning-Kruger I guess.

The quantity over quality mantra is the name of the game at UPT right now. IFS was changed to IFT because "screening" is too harsh. I spoke with an IFT IP a few days ago and he said the washout rate in IFS was around 10%, and now it's around 3%. T-6 IPs are kicking studs to multiple CRs before they get washed out. From what I understand unless they quit everyone returns from their first CR. Guys have been non-vol'd to -38s to fill the increased student load.

That really doesn't do much to increase our through-put at the FTU, but I'll float the idea...

osulax05 Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Pawnman, I think matmac was talking about the old whiting pilot trng program, not the Pensacola Nav err CSO school.

There is by no means a free pass on your first CR.

Is the lack of RPAs twice in a row just a coincidence or are they actually trying to move away from giving those in UPT drops?

Originally, it was only supposed to be for a year so maybe they actually stuck to their word. Color me shocked.
Bode Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 The word was that 16-12 would be the last to drop RPAs so it sounds like they made true on their word. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SimpleJack Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 The word was that 16-13 would be the last to drop RPAs, however neither 16-12 nor 16-13 actually dropped any at LX. As to why they were on our drop sheets, we assumed the Flt/CCs were messing with us.
BashiChuni Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 wow those drops are sick! enjoy it boys and girls you're dropping in the good times!

Herk Driver Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I agree. "Best seen to date" is now 100% accurate on grade sheets. Or "Best seen today" would probably be more accurate. 1
Duck Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Or "Best seen today" would probably be more accurate. And it was my first student sortie... 2
YoungnDumb Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Let's hope this keeps up for this years FAIP drop.
