However, if you fly at UPT bases or in a fighter squadron, the number will be more significant compared to your total time. 20 1.1's vs 3 8 hour sorties the .2 adds up. After it is all said and done, I don't think it is looked down on or highly recommended. I think it just helps some hit the min to have a hat in the ring. Believe it or not, the people processing the information will look to see if you checked the container whether you applied it or not. So let your best judgement prevail and good luck!
