Vt-6

[grose3]

I just found out today that I will be in VT-6 for Primary. Is there anyone else who peruses these boards a fellow "Shooter"? Any info, gouge, or word about this squadron would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot!

Don't make Ms. Mary angry.

VT-6 is the place to be... most of the instructors are nice as hell and they treat you like an officer.. which is why they say VT-6 has the highest winging rate of any squadron... (above 92% I think). Plus VT-3 will screw you by taking you out of cruise-forms to start RI's and then have u finish cruise-forms after a month and a half of not having flown either PA's or forms. Plus, 3 is run by air force.. for whatever that's worth. I've also heard the "VT-Screw" reference regarding 2.

Those who call VT-2, "VT-Screw" don't know jack **** about what they're talking about. A buddy of mine is in VT-3 and he likes it. I know a lot in VT-6 and they like it. Put it this way, I don't know anyone that doesn't like their squadron.

It's funny , I went through Primary at VT-6 almost 20 years ago (well, 18) and people talk about the same stuff. In my day the perception was that Vt-6 was a little more laid back, VT-3 were the grading nazis and VT-2 was somewhere in the middle. Bottom line though is the everyone flew the same FTI and MCG - so the nuances of each squadron were just hyped.

Is tha awful mess shack still there? God I don't know how many dozens of sliders I ate there flying 2 x's per day.

The T-34C will be no great loss to see it go - it's time. Old airplane.

Chuck is pretty close.

I'm in VT-2, and I enjoy it. Only a couple of jerks, but you're going to get that wherever you go ...

VT-6 is chill.

VT-3 ... eh. Other than them bouncing people around in the syllabus, I guess their ok.

this man speaks the truth, but Ms. Mary is a big angry, don't let her get to you, she can have her moments, but they're far and few between

Shooters w/o a doubt the best primary squadron, have fun and don't blow any tires :icon_wink

 

[Acoustix99]

Tires?

Bah - forget tires....brake failures are much more fun......especially on a solo.......not like i'd know anything about that of course..........
