Ever since my younger brother’s passing from cancer in 2020, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. A few weeks ago, I had a hard conversation with my…

This is a really big one…the original replacement plan for the KC-135 involved three separate competitions: KC-X, KC-Y and KC-Z. The winner of the (very contentious!) KC-X competition was the KC-46.

Tied With – How many people are you tied with in that category
My Percentile – Percentage of applicants you scored higher than
Husky, Meech and 4 others3 Comments

The sunset on Misawa F-16s is officially underway with movement to Osan in South Korea. Those of you applying to AD will absolutely find yourself in one of those cockpits if you drop 16s. Who knows what the outlook is for Guard/Reserve but there have been TSPs in the past. Either way it’s big news for the future in the…
