New IP vs. Experienced IP

New IP's tend to be a little more critical of the small shit, take forever on debrief, write longass gradesheets, and rarely deviate from MIF...
The BTDT IP's tend to teach what is important, grade what is necessary, get pissed at SHARP and grade out yer sheet with few comments, and get more done in a flight...
From my viewpoint...
Both are good, you see different techniques from EVERY IP...

What, wait, what?! We suck...how bad is OU this year? We MAY get to .500 this year with some luck and a lot of injuries on the other team...
Newer IP's are generally more likely to take the controls away from a SNA quicker than an IP that's seen the manuever a few hundred times.
Older IP's can walk you through the grade card before the flight even happens and tell you where you are going to screw up; that is because there are some manuevers that every student screws up.
Like new HAC/PPC versus older HAC/PPC, when you're new, you tend to sweat minor issues more since you really don't know if something is minor or major when it first happens. Once you get some expirience under your belt, you begin to realize what is really important and what can be blown off.

OUSooner, what does "@ MIF" mean? I'm from Boston and don't know what you're talking about.

MIF is part of the new grading system we got from the Air Force, no more belows and aboves. MIF is the minimum score on each line item required for a particular flight.
BTW are you an East Coast HS guy?
A Multi-service Pilot Training Sytem (MPTS) term...Manuever Item File = the minimum grade to achieve by the end of the block of flights...it typically increases with each block until it gets to a 4 = good = Course Training Standard (CTS).
Mostly....
HS-3 from 93-98
HS-10 from 98-00
CCG-8 (flew with HS-11) 98-00
HS-7 from 01-03 (For the record my pic is me jumping into the St. John's with HS-7 before I left. You'll notice that's a bit more than 10 feet... never trust an all JO crew when you're their Dept Head and you're jumping out of the aircraft.... below in headwork on my part, I guess!)
ESCU-1 (HS-10 EMIO) from 08-09
I'm getting to old to learn all this new sh!t... So @ MIF = Average???
Nope...more like the required proficiency at your current level. The CTS I referred to actually has a defined set of parameters to achieve for a specific manuever. MIF will start at Unable move to Fair then Good (=CTS) as you progress. Go to the back of (almost) any MCG on the CNATRA instructions web page and you can see them defined. I know it sounds like semantics but there is a difference
It isn't worth your time unless you go back to a VT/HT. Grab another beer.
