We got the drop from the ENJJPT board today, and I didn't get selected. I was really hoping to get picked up, but it's still all good. I have NO room at all to complain since I've been totally blessed to get a pilot slot in the first place! Before I talked to my FTO I told the guys I was sitting with that if God wants me in ENJJPT then I'll be there, and if not I won't...end of discussion. So, it's obvious where He wants me to be. The cups always half full in my life because it makes things a whole lot better!
I'm looking at it this way...since I'm gunning for the fighter/bomber track, I'll be flying the upgraded T-38C at Columbus which is the only base at this point that has them. It's got the new "glass" (LCD's and the whole 9 yards) cockpit along with some upgrades to the intakes and engines. I'm not complaining at all. I still have a slight chance the I may get into Moody AFB to fly the new T-6 for pilot training since the guy who was the ENJJPT select had orders there...we'll see what happens. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know the latest from down here. I'm down a bit just because I like to kick butt and do my best, but everything is in His hands...right where it should be.
Oh, I wanted to mention that I saw a couple guys down here that I went to college with. One is here in the OTS Commissioned Officer Training (COT) School, which is for the medical and lawyer types, and the other I saw at the Cadet pool yesterday afternoon. He works at Wright Patterson AFB where I came from, and is down here for Aerospace Basic Course (ABC). And yes, I said the pool. They have a really nice pool here on base that we can use on the weekends...it helps get ride of the nice farmer's tan most of us have going on these days. It was good to see a couple guys from home to catch up on what I had been missing while away.
