Advanced TACAMO
Hello All,
I just selected E-6 TACAMO last week, and report to Vance in mid-December and have many questions about E-6 training.
First: I have heard most of the horror stories about Vance, and Air Force training, but am wondering about how long T-1 training takes? Do/did you like it?Do advanced students have to live in the Q or can you live out in town? If you live off base where is a good place to look?
Second: I was told I would not start advanced until May but am wondering if the Air Force is big on stash jobs or if they send you to a student pilot day care center everyday? In addition, what would be the most beneficial form of studying to get ahead and make advanced as painless as possible?
Third: For all the E-6 drivers who might read this thread...How do you like the E-6 community? What is the most rewarding part of your job? Any Advice?
Thanks for your time and all the best!
