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.

It's an Air Force program.  Has been for about 5 years now.

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

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.

Not true. At least not at DLF. There have been a few "multiple CRs" typically 1 phase 2 and 1 phase 3. There is by no means a free pass on your first CR.

Lol. Always the one guy who lives on 88 ride to 88 ride.

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]

The word was that 16-12 would be the last to drop RPAs so it sounds like they made true on their word.

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.

No they're not, students now are obviously just superior performers and their assignments reflect that.

I agree. 

"Best seen to date" is now 100% accurate on grade sheets.

[Herk Driver]

I agree. 

"Best seen to date" is now 100% accurate on grade sheets.

Or "Best seen today" would probably be more accurate.

[Duck]

Or "Best seen today" would probably be more accurate.

And it was my first student sortie...

[YoungnDumb]

Let's hope this keeps up for this years FAIP drop.

You guys still don't have this years' FAIP drop yet?  Un-fuck!ng believable.

Nope.  Last we heard from our OG (this was 1-2 months back) was that due to the fighter crisis AFPC was trying to route all eligible FAIPs to fighters and none to bombers.  Since then we haven't heard squat.  The F-35 guys got their assignments early due to the 35 B-Course starting this fall, the rest of us are still waiting.

[Duck]

I heard since these last couple student classes coming through have been stocked full of "incredible hands of gold" (why else would they all get fighters) that they were going to let FAIPs soak up all the Buffs... Kidding. I love you FAIPs.

[Inertia17]

An interesting one at Laughlin tonight:

XL 16-14

3-4 x KC-10s

1 x C-17

1 x J-STARS

2 x U-28

2 x T-6 FAIP

1 x B-1

1 x A-10

2 x F-22

Might have missed one or two.
