napoleonpp Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 How does that work for Drivers License and Car Registration? Do you have to be a resident of the state to maintain it once you leave? I used to live in GA and have been keeping my license and cars registered in GA for two or three years now after moving. Just been telling them I'm attending an Army school and they mail me my tags. Is it even necessary to tell the story? Would they even care I moved?

I'm from California and I would have to go back to have my car smog tested every year to register it, so it's totally worth it for me to switch to Montana plates. My California license is still valid, though it expired years ago. Even if your current state would continue to mail your tags, it might be better to have plates local to your duty station, or it could benefit you to have out of state plates if you have tinted windows in a place where it it is not legal or have emissions equipment removed in a state that does a sniffer test. I think there are too many variables to give good advice in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Texas, as of March 2015, you can't register your car without having a state inspection completed first. I'll probably keep my license plate but register the vehicle wherever I end up.

Tradewinds Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Washington allows vehicle owners to have the Emission Test waived if they are Active Military stationed out of state. So the advice given above about each situation being different is spot on. My older son kept his WA plates while at Rucker, he got local plates when he got to Hawaii, driving with out of state plates there is like having a target on your car.

napoleonpp Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Got my orders typed up to return to Rucker for ALSE. They have my graduation day listed as the day I'm departing Rucker as well. Does anyone know if that's right? Not sure what time I will graduate that day and still have to outprocess post. Just don't want to hit the road at 5pm.

I've read a little about it but curious to know how many pilot actually go through the training and when they typically do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creep0321 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 There seems to be a push to put students awaiting their advanced airframe course into the ALSE course now. I asked to go before common core because I had a few months, they basically said it isn't worth it incase I fail common core..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleonpp Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Aviation Life Support Equipment. Basically just learn how to inspect and repair flight gear. From what I hear it's a chill course. I'm not sure how many people actually get it. I know usually want two people in a company to be ALSE certified for the most part. I would definitely try to get it. One more additional duty to make you stand out among your peers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockTrader Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 ALSE might be the easiest course you ever take at Rucker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuffinMan Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Without a doubt. Easiest course ever. And fun.Throughout the process from WOCS to Primary I understand that there may be several weeks if not more of down time between schools/courses. Is it possible to requests being sent to some schools during that down time? Do any future pilots ever get to go to Airborne school before primary? What options are out there to help take up some of the time if approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent going to risk losing a pilot if you get injured going to a school that you will not need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockTrader Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 However, if you ask for honors during a hold thats a guaranteed approval. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you want to risk going to Airborne school and breaking something when you have an awesome flying career ahead of you?Makes total sense. Was just using airborne as an example because I am not fully up to speed on all of the schools/courses available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luofynerd Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have done honors, and a plane ceremony for the Blackhawk crew that went down on my last deployment. I'm a big baby when it comes to taps playing. I'll be perfectly fine but that bagpipe starts and it's like one of those old school sprinkler systems. Guess the music reminds me of my granddads funeral. Which was the first time I ever heard it played in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
