We're talking proficiency in a fighter - it comes with the territory.

The days of "3 for 1s" are over, so the alert gig isn't as lucrative as it once was. It's possible to bum at any unit, although the alert wrinkle adds a few more opportunity. How long a pilot can make that work just depends on the availability of days and the individual"s situation (family, financial flexibility, etc.)
