I didnt go through UPT, so help me understand. The first step in AF pilot training is IFT in Cirruses in Colorado Springs to get the student to their first solo. Second step is the T6 for more advanced maneuvering and instrument fundamentals. At that point students track either T1 for mobility or T38 for tactical. They dont get their "wings" until the end of T1 or T38 training, correct?

Again, i'm not a military pilot but i was in a fighter squadron as a support officer and thats what i gathered about the UPT process.

This program is just taking somone who already knows how to fly and is instrument rated and moving them directly to the T1 track. I dont see the problem with that? They'd just be skipping a few months of IFT and T6 flying.
