Reply to Will IPT replacing IFT change Guard/Reserve hiring?
I appreciate your replies and I certainly understand the perspective! Perhaps there will be flexibility with the IPT syllabus in the future for students who come in with a PPL. Then again, by forcing everyone into the same syllabus regardless of background you can create the same baseline across the board. It’ll be interesting…

Several posts ago I had talked about experiences and exercises that you as pilots will get to have while in the USAF. One of those was about “Combat Hammer” (CH).

I want to be at this naming so bad.
