Definitely an interesting time at ENJJPT right now w/ assignments. The last class that got their assignments about 10 days ago got 3 U-28's and 3 or 4 NSA (Non-standard Aviation) spots for about 15 US guys. The class before that 6 weeks earlier had like 6 U-28's for about 15 US guys too. The NSA guys from a Spec Ops squadron at Cannon that is getting stood up came and gave a brief but couldn't say anything about their "customers" or what the difference was between their U-28 and the PC-12. They just said you'd fly a lot (like maxing out what the AFI allows in a 1 month period) and be doing some interesting stuff. I think the needs of the AF are driving the pulling so many kids right out of UPT or ENJJPT right now b/c of fighters being overwhelmed w/ B course LTs and the need for so many bodies in this growing segment of Spec Ops flying.
