Hope this helps. I think someone else already mentioned this but I'd agree there are better posts on this topic on baseops.net or wantscheck.com. Let me know what else you got, I havn't always flown the C-17

You can always get 2 FTP's however, but only one GTP a day. If that doesn't work out, just put yourself down for an RMP. That is of course considering you haven't already made up your UTA, and have no AT left. But, you can just sign up for an MPA trip and make money by getting your HFP and your TE for the month.
