I learned those lessons a long time ago my young Jedi CFI...and since I just read your post I guess I won't believe what you wrote
Here's another tip from a crusty pilot: The military has a way of reinventing the wheel...as in senior leadership changing things back to the way they were and then taking credit for a brilliant idea. Kinda like the AT-38's being farmed out to the UPT bases and then deciding to (re)consolidate them at Moody AFB. Kinda like closing down the aggressor squadrons and now starting up a new one at Elemendorf. And yes, kinda like halting flight screening (on account of the T-3 debacle), restarting it as a PPL program, and now migrating back towards a two location setup:
USAFA & Pueblo is very similar to the USAFA & Hondo.
Forewarned is forearmed, flexibility is the key to airpower... and indecision is the key to flexibility.
