I was a T-37 flight commander at Willie in the late 80s when the son of the ATC commander was assigned to my flight. I was called into the DOs office every week asking how he was doing and was told "if he sneezes you hand him the handkerchief." Not being a flight doc I didn't know what that meant. Half way through the class I was fired as the flight commander when I wouldn't guarantee the DO I would pass the kid and all his friends "to keep his morale up." Can't imagine what its like to have the VPs son.

T-38 schedule, for those that care:
Cabin alititude is 8000 from 8000 thru FL230.
Above FL230, it is "(Altitude - 6000') divided by 2". So FL320 will give you 13000' cabin.

Another incident. Aircraft now limited to 5,000 feet. Crew was doing high G maneuvers at 10,000 feet when they experienced hypoxia-like symptoms. It is unclear (to me, anyway) if the 10,000 feet was the aircraft altitude or the cabin altitude.
