Phlyer,
It's only 500/1.5 for about 6-9 months once they get to their ops squadron. After that, everyone is 300/1. OG/CC can waive to published mins.
The F-15E's final approach speed is approx 180 kts when we land with fuel reserves for a divert that is about 30-40 minutes flying time from our destination. At VFR landing gas it's about 170 kts.
