Pilot Training is OVER. Got my assignment!

ZYouL8R · 11-07-2009, 01:12 AM

I'm sure no one gives a shit, but after getting my nuts kicked in for the past 14 months, I've finally finished UPT. We all got our assignments tonight and I got a T-6 FAIP (First Assignment Instructor Pilot)! If you finish in the top 3 of your class, you're eligible to stick around and be an instructor and that's what I'll be for the next 3 years. Sucks that I won't get to deploy and fight the fight with the rest of my bros, but I love the T-6 and I'm going to love teaching dudes how to fly. Can't wait to get started!

poopnut2 · 11-07-2009, 01:14 AM

That's badass man!

Shoot To Kill · 11-07-2009, 02:44 AM

01VNMS4v · 11-07-2009, 08:31 AM

1994SilverGT · 11-07-2009, 09:37 AM

grats

Kart21 · 11-07-2009, 10:10 AM

Great !!! Good Job !
Maybe you can teach those fools not to fly by the airport,
Or kick 'em out !
Thanks for serving.

Xtine · 11-07-2009, 10:12 AM

Congrats and Thank you!

dee · 11-07-2009, 10:15 AM

Man those plane's sound funny as hell when they fly over and your used to the T-38's, congrats and thanks for serving our country.

Strychnine · 11-07-2009, 10:17 AM

Good stuff. Congrats

97blkpny · 11-07-2009, 10:26 AM

Awesome man! Congrats and good luck!!!

ZYouL8R · 11-08-2009, 11:36 AM

Thanks everyone! I'm really pumped and can't wait to get back into the T-6. I never thought of myself as an instructor but I guess a few of my old IPs and Flight Commanders lobbied for me to come back to the T-6 Squadron to be an IP. It's an honor for sure and I'm excited about getting the opportunity to make such an impact on young pilot's lives.

92Notch · 11-08-2009, 12:25 PM

sweet congrats

564826 · 11-08-2009, 02:19 PM

Congrats man and keep the blue side up!

Slowhand · 11-08-2009, 02:24 PM

Congrats. Seems as if all that time zooming around in the air has paid off for you.

Ballin!! Congrats dude. I don't know if I could have resisted the temptation to get into a fighter squadron if I was tops in my class.

vtstang66 · 11-08-2009, 04:14 PM

How fast does that go?

arix · 11-08-2009, 05:46 PM

I thought of being an instructor, sir.
Top Gun?
Yes, sir.
God help us.

Thanks for your service.

Fox466 · 11-08-2009, 09:18 PM

Bad to the bone bro!

Congrats, and thanks!

Sam88Gta · 11-08-2009, 09:42 PM

Congrats man!!

PonyFever · 11-08-2009, 11:03 PM

Congratulations and best wishes in your new assignment. We need top producing pilots teaching others. Be well and breathe deep.

ALLAN · 11-08-2009, 11:22 PM

Sounds good.
That's alot better than getting stuck with Preds and Reapers.

That_Is_My_El_Camino · 11-08-2009, 11:30 PM

Congrats!

G3auto · 11-09-2009, 07:58 AM

Those T-6 planes fly over all day long here in Enid, they look like buzzards just doing circles, then sometimes it looks and sounds like WW II outside.

Congrats

cobrajet69 · 11-09-2009, 08:34 AM

Big congrats man!
Sounds like a hell of a gig.

SuperCPA · 11-09-2009, 10:16 AM

46Tbird · 11-09-2009, 10:32 AM

Congradulations, Danny - that is awesome!

We're proud of you man, thanks for serving. When are you going to move up to fighter instructor?

TX21 · 11-09-2009, 11:55 AM

Thats a dream job right there. I am sure you wokred your tail off for it, nice job!

Juiced4V · 11-09-2009, 11:57 AM

Dammm congrats!!!! I wish I could ride shotgun in one of those one day

AL P · 11-09-2009, 12:05 PM

That is pretty kick ass, congrats.

ZYouL8R · 11-09-2009, 01:15 PM

Thanks everyone!

I'm really excited about everything. Staying in Del Rio another 3 years isn't the best news, but it could be worse. I could be going to Clovis, NM like one of my other classmates. PIT (Primary Instructor Training) is at Randolph AFB for 4 months so at least I'll be in SA for a while making good TDY money. The best news is I'll finally have my wings and I won't be treated like an f'n kid anymore!

lowthreeohz · 11-09-2009, 01:16 PM

I was born in Clovis on Cannon AFB.. LOL!

Congrats Danny. I know you been workin hard for that for a long time... very happy for you dude.

wow yea I would have taken FAIP too. Although I hear KC-10's get some pretty cozy deployments. Unreal though, all heavys. I know a buddy of mine went through UPT there and he was second in his class and got B-52s, first drop was an A-10 if Im not mistaken

FreightTrain · 11-10-2009, 02:30 AM

Hit me up when your at RAFB. I only live about 10 minutes from the base and I can score tickets to any spurs game at a moments notice.
