Having brought this up to quite a few SERGRADs in the past I understand that they are put through a good IUT syllabus and start off instructing in the basic stages initially and having just gone through the process themselves they have a good idea of what to instruct. Hummmmmmm.......
I still question it; I mean that SERGRAD teaching TacForm has all of a few flights himself even doing TacForm before he is teaching it. The experience question raises its head again in my mind.
We are starting to see jet guys getting pushed to t-34's when they check in. Needless to say, they are highly upset. Like everywhere else, they are having manpower issues.
I'm not sure about how Meridian does business but SERGRAD's hardly ever teach phase II. Every once in a while you might have one instruct WEPS or ONAV's which I don't agree with. On the other hand, I don't agree with E2/C2 or P-3 guys teaching it either.
