Get a job with a flow through regional carrier and then go to UPT. That's winning the lottery.

Maybe, but getting a job with a Major, then going to UPT makes you King Kong. Heck, you'll even get your 16% DC to the 401K for the whole year. And yes, I've flow with a UPT student in this situation. It's definitely possible in this hiring environment.

PRS - true. Majors then UPT is possible and perhaps the fastest way to the majors.

It's all at Maxwell. The classes that graduated in Dec 2014 were either the last, or near the last, classes where AMS and OTS were segregated.
I'm told that now they are combined in the course which is 9 weeks long.

I was in D flight in Tweets, then M flight in 38's.

Lots of good times windsurfing out at Lake Amistad and Friday nights in Boy's Town!

I was talking with a 1lt last month who had come through Del Rio recently. He said they were not allowed to go into Mexico at all! I can't imaging trying to survive a year in Del Rio without a trip to Boy's Town every Friday night to release the hounds. San Antonio is just too far to drive every weekend.
