Exercises and training events are a must to keep your skills sharp and test you in scenarios you have never been in. After completing all your training and coming back to your unit, you’ll jump right into “the fight”. One such training event is Sentry Aloha out in Hawaii. I have participated before and the flying is as much fun as the off…

Pretty good writeup on a new radar system for the joint force. For the Marines (an expeditionary force) and increasingly the USAF (doing ACE) having a solid air defense and ATC radar is essential.

This shows the hiring board your commitment to flying and that you are willing to do “extra” to earn…
