Game Plan

We got a schedule and syllabus the other day, looks pretty fun/fast paced. Most days are 0700-1800, but we’ve had one 0500-1700 so you never know. We have weekends off, first week is all physiology stuff, followed by 4 weeks of academics, the fifth week looks pretty simulator heavy transitioning us onto the flight line. From what I’ve heard once you hit the flight line (transition from the OSS to a flying sq to start flying (phase 2)) things really get busy and you have no more free time. I hear they are really intense long days for about 15 duty days then they let off some (still no free time), and we’ll ease into a routine until March when we’ll track select - find out whether we’ll go fly T-38s for fighter/bomber, T-1s for cargo, T-44s in Corpus Christi for C-130s, or down to AL for helos. From there we’ll fly in our specific trainer (phase 3) until Sep when we receive our assignments for our actual aircraft and location, but of course you have to learn to fly your final aircraft first with some survival mixed in, so we’re looking at about a year and half before actually being ready to do anyone any good.
