Thedude Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 And from my recollection the brass collectively said they would rather get pilots sooner, even if less trained, then later. At least thats what they were saying 3 years ago when these changes were in the works.Brass might say that, but do they ever really know what’s right? They want to turn those chiclets green showing they have pilot numbers just like CO and BN level commanders do with PT tests and 350-1 bullshit. The Army has a pervasive culture of making things look like they’re good at the cost of it actually being good. Mission ready on paper for a brief is more important than units actually being mission ready in the real world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 You can, and do fly with the systems off in the Lakota during the course, some instructors more then others. You do still have a separate IP for WS at shell, just Lee the same one through contact/instruments/and whatever they are calling the man intro after instruments now.As for the control touch, Id say thats more IP/student dependent, I was in a mixed 67/72 47 course, and if anything the 72 guys were a little bit ahead from the get go.And from my recollection the brass collectively said they would rather get pilots sooner, even if less trained, then later. At least thats what they were saying 3 years ago when these changes were in the works. LUH control touch was and is definitely IP/student dependent.

ElJay Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Day 3, we've been down aircraft twice. Check ride doesn't move, less hours all around. Lotta pressure on URS, not enough instructors, not enough aircraft, and not enough hours. Maybe if so many werent in maintenance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes could someone explain as this is the first time Ive seen this as well.The friends I’ve had went that route by commissioning as med service out of college and then applying for the 67J medevac pilot selection. I’ve been told it’s quite competitive. They had no airframe selection in flight school because they were already slotted for 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickle Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but when does selection occur in the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH11B Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but when does selection occur in the process?After you complete Common Core IERW which includes Contact(basic flight), instruments, and BWS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
