How does the AO contact us? Has everyone just get emails or do they call?

Wasn't it only authorized until the end of 2009? I'm going to call him tomorrow and see what kind of guarantee there is I could get a spot that far out. If not, maybe I could do a year in an AOC in the desert with a guarantee of a UAV on return? Anyone hear of anyone doing something similar or see any obvious flaws in my thinking?

No Formal Training for AMC Guys
In the ever changing world or this program..... Word from HQ AMC is they do not want to send you to formal school-house training. Therefore for the most part only those who can complete training at the unit level can expect to return to fly in AMC. I am sure there are a few exceptions. Just wanted to post what I have been hearing since I got back on active duty. I can accomplish all of my training at the unit level since I have only been out for a year.
As the AF takes closer look at this program more and more folks seem to add more restrictions. So those who are considering on waiting I would submit your apps sooner rather then later. Good Luck to all

Whhhhhoaaa, 48 pages; longest post ever IMO. Questions....
1) Is being out of a military cockpit for 8 years or longer a hard and fast rule as a disqualifier for getting a flying job (no UAVs please)?
2) Are AETC white jets and C-40/37/VIP jets deployable?
Thanks in advance.

I have no idea about your questions. They sound like good ones to call AFPC with.
