Justine Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 What Rob said above. It was different years ago when I was there. You had organized PT even during flight school. If it was a morning class (0800) then you had PT from 0530-0630. If it was AM flying, then we did PT in the afternoon. I believe that was from 1530-1630. Made for long days so exemption was nice. I do remember exemption was 285+. Looks like they changed that as well.We had pt during BOLC even if you had a 300. boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity173 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 We had pt during BOLC even if you had a 300. booYeah that's just the way they did it when WOBC was there as well. It was like WOCS; everyone had to do it. Couldn't get out of the annual "jingle bell" mandatory fun run either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon64 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks. So pt like crazy.... Too easy. I'm sitting at a 270. Only thing holding me back is the run... Sitting at a 14:28 and just waiting for AD board results to come out ha! Guess I should worry about getting selected first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get out of the annual "jingle bell" mandatory fun run either.I was the PT officer. All my class wanted to do was play Frisbee. Frisbee it was if it kept them happy. Doubtful if I had implemented an actual PT progression that anyone would follow through in core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastshot Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Â Oh, I never wanted to be in the 160th, only reason I would go is for the money. Â Does the 160th offer $25K annual aviator continuation bonuses? Is it just the 160th, or is it for all warrant aviators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optamix Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 As of now there is no organized PT during Primary/Instruments/BWS or on FUNDET.The current OML is 30.8% BOLC, 58% Flight School, 11.7% PT test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1237051 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 It's 30.3 for BOLC. Math Nazi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optamix Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I want to point out that was a typing error and not a math error, haha. That being said I looked like a moron trying to do my fuel consumption check yesterday. The E6B eludes me, why can't I just use a calculator?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamer Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 There's an app for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 An E6B is actually much faster for fuel checks than a calculator. Everyone made fun of me for keeping one on my kneeboard forever until I challenged them to a fuel check race. Why press all those buttons when you can just slide a wheel around and immediately see both your fuel burn/hour and time to burnout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.o.n.y Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Don't need to be 160th to do 160th type stuff. Just have a CC who is 160th and runs his unit that way with deck quals, Seals, SF, and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks much cooler than keeping one on your kneeboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apacheguy Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Â Â Woah. Link?http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012IR0U2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3ODQUO2LOFSQ3&coliid=I2YRRRX8JA8KIJÂ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G27V04/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3ODQUO2LOFSQ3&coliid=IH52RQUDJBTHXÂ I use the E6B on my 'Breitling' to calculate times when I'm in holding. Hasn't failed me yet even though I got that watch from a guy with a Saddam moustache in Balad for $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Before I arrived at my current job they issued everyone the real deal Breitlings for $6k each. It was one of those "Oh crap we have a lot of money to spend before the end of the FY, what can we buy so we don't lose it next year?" purchases. Justified by the built-in E6B. They were returned shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
