I've talked to an Officer recruiter who has put me in touch with the IST people in Tennessee. I think I'm good there. As for my training, all the USAF does in the C-130 is low-level airdrop missions. While we do haul trash around the AOR, we train to do low-level, timing control, threat avoidance, air drop, NVG ops, and radar interpretation. I am also a unique situation because I am a pilot training washout that has 30 hours in a T-6 (I washed out over family reasons and the AF only gives a person one chance). I even soloed the T-6 so my air sense was above my peers in the 562nd. Also, in the C-130, we back up our pilots with maneuvers in the pattern, formations, etc. giving us more air sense than some of our "dark and windowless tube" counterparts. Does the Navy allow NFO's to switch platforms? The AF (Active Duty, Guard and Reserve) has pilots fly a broad range of aircraft however on the CSO (Navigator) side, we are deemed a life in the aircraft we were assigned.
