| CCAF, Phase is great place to learn the jet as long as you are fixing your own gigs. If all you do is the look then yep it will not do you any good. Swings on the ramp is an even better place to learn your job. Launch and Lounge day shift being next then comes mids pumping gas and lox. You need to get some time on you before you head off to Sheppard. Nothing is worse than an instructor with limited real world experience. Granted you won't be writing lesson plans to begin with but if you are there any time you will. Don't strive to be an instructor until you have been through the trenches a few times it is important. Plus do you really want to baby sit young folks or fix jets. Me I want to fix jets, well wanted to now I am an old MSGT so I don't fix much anymore. |

Take it from an instructor (3 yrs active and 8 yrs civil service currently for the AF), credibility and experience are absolutely required if you want to be taken seriously in the classroom! Where you get it makes some difference but not to the point of making one unqualified to teach. Phase is a good place to get it. The flightline is another. Both have pluses (as well as negatives). If you become an instructor you will be writing your own lesson plans (but not developing new courses). Sheppard as you well know teaches the students in blocks. You will teach the same block over and over to succesive classes. I have been told that you will work from one block to another eventually, although I was never an instructor at Sheppard. I was a FTD instructor at Hill but the home office was Sheppard. If you need more info let me know and I will help where necessary. Good instructors are hard to find and worth their weight in gold when you do find one.
