USAF announces IPT!
I think we knew the broad outline but here are quotes from the officials. Looks like TX, or two Arizona locations for now with potentially more in the future. I’m also hearing Pueblo from other sources.
Rumors elsewhere that the T-38 and IFF syllabus will be combined. Frankly, that makes sense to me – the T-38/IFF split…

But I haven’t seen anything posted on MilRecruiter, their official site beyond that line, or their Facebook page. I also called the squadron POC and…

New Palace Chase?
A lot of pilots, myself included, got to the air reserve component (ARC e.g. guard+reserve) via a program called palace chase. That programs let you leave REGAF 6 months early if you joined an ARC unit.
