    USAF Enlisted Pilots, The Right Stuff, Stolen Bikes, AIC, and SWO pipe dreams.

    Not arguing against how the SWOs do it. I don’t have a dog in that fight. Of course the Air Wing has support personnel that help with a myriad of operations. I was just drawing the conclusion that TLAMs have dedicated planning teams in place. And that’s all that @LFCFan was getting at. Plus, I...

    USAF Enlisted Pilots, The Right Stuff, Stolen Bikes, AIC, and SWO pipe dreams.

    Remember at the Academy or ROTC when people would talk about how the SWO community sucks and the people suck? You’re that stereotype. Congratulations. Thankfully, I’ve served with some awesome SWOs (strangely enough, most of the. have lat transferred or gotten out, weird) but you suck. Edit...

    Haha! Twice in a half hour you accused two separate people of being “insecure in their career decisions”. I’m no Freud, but damn, it seems like someone’s unhappy with theirs.

    USAF Enlisted Pilots, The Right Stuff, Stolen Bikes, AIC, and SWO pipe dreams.

    Lol, I’m actually very content in my life choices. Hence, why I’m not flying off the handle and acting like a 2 year old who lost her pacifier. Also, I don’t spend my days shitting all over the SWO community. This comment is the definition of projection. I know you went SWO because there was no...

    USAF Enlisted Pilots, The Right Stuff, Stolen Bikes, AIC, and SWO pipe dreams.

    We (13xx) strive to value all educated opinions from any community, so don’t play the game of “you’re not URL, so STFU”. You’re the actual clown here. @LFCFan was simply stating that there is an entire contingent of people whose job it is to mission plan for TLAM strikes (you do know that...

    USAF Enlisted Pilots, The Right Stuff, Stolen Bikes, AIC, and SWO pipe dreams.

    Outsticked essentially means who can “touch” each other first. The weird SWO who was shitting on aviators in a weird “I could have been you” way argued that many of our adversaries “outstick” us. Partially true, partially fake news. Answer is, it depends. Also, I hate to revive this part of the...

    FTS NFO

    Thanks so much for the information! It's something I will definitely research more and keep in my scan! Sounds like a pretty good deal.

    FTS NFO

    Copy. Because I am from North Carolina, I would be interested in homesteading at one of the NC NOSCs. Would it be implausible to stay at one of those NOSCs for the rest of my career? By what you are saying, it seems as though I would have to move after my NOSC staff tour and do some sort of...

    FTS NFO

    Thanks for all the responses! A few more follow on questions: - if you move to reserve component management, would you deploy? I saw on the PERS website that they follow a normal sea/shore rotation. - when applying for FTS, can you apply to a different designator, or would you have to apply...

    FTS NFO

    After doing much searching on the PERS website and this forum, I'm still very much confused about what the career path would be for an FTS NFO, specifically a VAW NFO (seeing as though the only options are the SAU and VT-4). The PERS website states that a VAW NFO would move into "reserve...

    Viking vs Grumman prop birds: how to count & evaluate traps?

    Something tells me that you probably have a few centurion patches sewn on your flight jacket from your RIO days....not much different my friend.

    Viking vs Grumman prop birds: how to count & evaluate traps?

    Well, to be honest, I'm not ever going to brag about my traps or sew my centurion patch onto my jacket or anything, but when you put your life into an FNG's hands after a couple night traps, you tell me how you feel.

    Viking vs Grumman prop birds: how to count & evaluate traps?

    Yes, all aircrew except the co-pilot will log a trap in the E-2. Any NFO who brags about (or really even knows how many traps they have) will be ridiculed.

    A-Pool info

    When I was in API, we mustered every day and went home. The motivated went home and got ahead for IFS and/or started reading the pubs for Aero. I never understood why the staff always told us not to worry about studying for API prior to starting class. Rather than making you guys line dance...
