Words from a sit down meeting with someone with Stars.

EnJJPT should get 2 or three fighters per drop

LAFB, CAFB & VAFB should get at least ONE fighter per class

UAS' are being given out equally on both sides of the T-1 and T-38 sides (in theory)

Guys, that have been waiting to goto IFF might have the chance to trade their assignment for something like a U-28/ MC-12/ NSA or UAS if they want it or maybe even a C-17 if AMC has the vacancies (Don't hold your breath to long on the last part)

Dismal....but at least they're not getting banked! Last I heard, the guys getting UAV's were told they would go to a MANNED aircraft after a tour.....I wouldn't hold my breath. Lobo would know more, this still the consensus?

On a side note, I think some would be surprised to see how high UAV's are on some of the dream sheets! Not all.....just more than I would have expected.

FWIW...

The Reserves are offering a voluntary recall to AD for 2 years for UAV slots even if not current or previously qualified.
