Track Selects and Assignment Nights

[Duck]

Great post.
But it’s obvious heavy guys and fighter guys think differently. And that’s fine, I like the idea that those guys are so driven to kill bad guys. Makes me sleep well at night and I appreciate it. While I’m in I’ll enjoy my support roll flying cargo and contributing however I can.

Except I know a ton of fighter guys who jumped at white jets to make a better life for their family. Bottom line is that people are motivated by different things. If the AF was smart they would try to leverage what motivates people instead of trying to fit everyone into a standard mold of what they THINK should motivate people.

If the AF was smart they would try to leverage what motivates people instead of trying to fit everyone into a standard mold of what they THINK should motivate people.

Let's not forget that the pilot crisis (according to the AF) started when fighter guys started quitting after being away from home at rates barely approaching what MAF guys were at a decade ago. And many of them are quitting during the most trigger happy period in the last 15 years. To go to the airlines.

If a patriotic group of guys and gals are looking to go be FAIPs or regular UPT IPs to strengthen airline resumes, that's a critique on our foreign policy and military leadership, not on their devotion to service.

C-146 to Duke for a T-38 kid? AD? Story?

[FishBowl]

Probably not much of a story. I was 18-02 and they told us we weren’t getting any MAF assets. We had E-8, RC-135, U-28 from 38s in my drop. 

[YoungnDumb]

x3 -38 FAIP's in a single drop at DLF? Damn they really must be hurting.

T-38 drops between all three bases was fighters and FAIPs with exception of that single C-146. Wow. 

[YoungnDumb]

Gotta make more IP's to feed the pipeline, easiest way to create more without hurting any of the communities

I’m guessing not a significant story. Drops they are a changing. Did you really think Oprah was gonna be able to hand out fighters forever?

C-12 yokota??? Isn't that an embassy gig? Now they dropping straight to upt grads?

Not an embassy gig, it’s a straight up white jet assignment, kind of like C-21s.  They mostly just shuttle the 3 star around Japan.

Been wrong all this time! What are the locations for C-12 white jets?

Copy on changing drops. But from what I had seen from the T-38/EN side of the house were more tactical heavies, i.e. C-130s, C-17s, MC-130s. There might have been the odd KC-135 in the past, it's just the RC-135 stood out.

Hope the newb enjoys it. Omaha's not a horrible place to live...provided you stay west of the river.

Sheppard has been used as the shock absorber in years past. Feast or famine there.
