UPT is just over a year. 2xx hrs.
RTU/RAG (specific a/c training) is about 6 months. Hours vary. 100 for a fighter guy????
Couple of other schools(survival), gaps between training, that make initial training exceed two years total.
Assignments typically used to be about 2-3 yrs.
So he's got roughly 2 yrs of training, 4-6 yrs operational, and a 3 yr non-flying assignment. 9-11 yrs total???
