My version of assignment drop...get called into the skipper's office, he spends 5 seconds telling me I got legacy hornets in Lemoore, and then get kicked out.

Slightly less exciting than the USAF version...

LOL, 2 sections is right.

I haven't been to a drop lately but I imagine now the big party is get your assignment and leave ASAP before you get accused of DUI, conduct unbecoming, unprofessional relationships, cheating, or sexual assault.
That's why they call it a PARTY! :eek::D

When the list was announced, our Squadron Commander warned: "Don't y'all go FIGMO on us just yet. Assignments can be changed.":rolleyes:

Even thought I was a Guard Puke and knew exactly what I was getting, and where, I still had a Great time at the drop party, watching some of my buddies jumping for joy, while others were crying in their beer and throwing their new T37 (FAIP) Squadron Scarves at their IP's!

Ahh...three more years in Del Rio!

What could be more fun?!

There's always at least one! We had a guy that got T-38 FAIP. He dropped a large F bomb and shattered his class beer mug on the table. Needless to say his new squadron commander, flight commander and future squadron mates weren't very impressed.:eek:

Combined?

I just thought the Air Force took over because they love briefings and the rest would rather fly airplanes.

That's funny! :D Admission requirement for Air Force UPT is "extensive knowledge & minimum hour requirement of .PPT presentations."

Where does this term come from? It's asked probably 10 times a day on here and it's pretty obvious what it means.... But I've never heard it on the civilian side of hiring/training. Is this a military remnant?
I was actually going to ask this same question.
Personally I find it an incredibly annoying phrase. Should stay with the mil... Not all things transfer well.
