Forum: Future F-16 crew

I have quite a few friends that went to ENJJPT and of the drops I know of there was a C-17, C-5, KC-135, U-28, C-130, B-52, and an F-15E that I can think of just offhand. Definitely not good odds for fighters these days...

For sure the odds are never promising these days, but the last drop at Sheppard was pretty good as they go! 2 Strike Eagles, 4 Vipers, 2 T-38s, 1 B-52, 1 C-130, 1 C-17 (to Hickam) and 2 Spec Ops. Nice work on the AFOQT btw, every point will help!

Thanks.. I like the looks of that last drop ! I guess I will never know until I know.

I just found out (through a reliable source) that the next rated board is only going to be selecting 20+ pilots. This gives it a selection rate of about 4%. I do not like my odds. I am confident in my package, but the odds are against me.

Whats the best way to find and seek out pilot positions in the Guard and Reserve? I am in Florida and know of 2 or 3 guard bases. Ideally would love to make an impression with an F-16 guard unit Smile

In what I hope will become a trend, our drop last night had 6 active duty Vipers! In addition to 2 F-15Es, a B-52, 2 C-130s, 1 C-17 and 1 T-38. This plus 2 Guard Vipers, a Guard A-10, several Eurofighters and a few different aircraft for our European brethren made for an awesome drop!

Got my PCSM score last week, 98. I am excited. Even though I felt like the TBAS beat me up.
