My base's flying squadrons are losing FGOs in droves (surprise) so AFPC might actually go for it. I'm still doing research and waiting on some answers to make sure there are no loopholes in the AFI they can get me with, but it's looking promising. My intent is to keep building hours and drop applications as soon as I hit the mins for the majors, then punch when I want on my own terms. I feel like this is smart if I can pull it off, but please tell me if I'm an idiot.
