1. 340 FTG Undergraduate Flying Training Program - Introduction
I'll confess that I cheated on all my check rides (I had a friend fly all my ILS approaches, formation flights, ELPs, etc). It's a wonder I never got caught! I think one of my IPs was suspicious though because I'm white and my friend is black.
Lt Col Reynolds I don’t think could pass the PT test given to the students. Columbus 78-02
Hey can someone tell me how many hours you’re going to be in the flight room? They don’t tell in the video
12
I completed the Army Rotary Wing Aviator Course in 1982, and instructed from 85-89. This is great advice on so many levels. Listen, learn, leave your ego at the classroom door.
The real life Maverick. Congratulations on your retirement…Now think about continuing to fly with the commercial airlines…you would be such an asset teaching flying. Maybe Alaska Airlines? Please don’t stop flying..you can garden and fly…thank you for your services and Peace to you brother.
Salute.
I could ride with a kid - in a car - and in 20 minutes tell if they could fly jets.....
And ALL Wearing Masks. How did we Find ourselves in a situation as ridiculous as that was, and people just bent over backwards grabbing their ankles (quite A gymnastics move!) for it, with no questions asked. I say, NEVER AGAIN.
@@timothygantnerMy two cents? People whom are PETRIFIED of death and dying because they have know where to go when they die, and they Hold onto Life with every molecule, because they are Scared! They Dont believe in God, but yet petrified of Death. Is that Rich or what?
Thank you Sir!
Hi Swerving-I was T-37 IP at Willi 1972 to 1975 in the 96th FTS. congratulations job well done. Went on to practice law and was financial advisor. Air Force had a huge impact on future life.
If you're happy at Enid by the Sea, then you're happy....
Clear skies Lt. Col.
“Welcome to the club. You’re average” hahahaha how encouraging
Sadly these Air Force leaders demonstrate why no one wants to stay after 10 years First off - no your not an officer first your a pilot - a good officer and a bad pilot can equal death and frankly your enemy wants you to be a great officer and a horrible pilot so this colonel has it backwards - like most of the current military leadership Second - Jesus F could they make it a bit more inspiring ? Like how about - sign up and do your best and there is a 90% chance if you try your best your gonna get wings And then you will have an exciting career - until you make O3 and then it all goes to shit with desk jobs and the needs of the Air Force which don’t care about your family needs That aside here is the real deal - join the guard or reserves look for a unit that is hiring and hit them up first Active duty sucks and is like being in prison but you get let out an hour a day to fly If you have any questions about UPT or think you want to join the Air Force Email me Sweinstein42@gmail
12 hours days, but how many days per week?
Some Saturday fly days if the c;sss it behind, also,cross country weekends@@phatkid6811
Got 92T0, can't wait!
Fix your ribbons
Look at those idiots wearing masks....People just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation...
Robin Olds would not approve of this message
dang i think im ready for this
u got this!
What a Legend!!!!
That's a lot of 1.0 sorties to the MOA and back, and all those briefings. Congrats "Swervin". I spent my year at Enid by the Sea-Vance AFB.
For those 11 idiots who gave this a Thumbs Down. When you get the Been There Done That ribbon, you can give this a thumbs down. Until then...Your Mama!
I was interested until the "Colonel" walked out with a face diaper on. Stick that agenda up your afterburner. Dislike
GREAT
Congratulations! Outstanding story.
so, in other words, this guy is like the Tom Cruise's character in the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, where an older pilot, in for 3 decades, is STILL teaching trainees. So it IS a plausible plotline as to why, after @ 35 years in service, Pete Mitchell could be "only" a Captain (officer level O-6) in the Navy, when Kervin Waterman is a Lt. Colonel (O-5) in the Air Force.. hmm.
Brian Grant has over 5,000 hrs in Hunters. Just saying...
You have lived the dream Swervin, congratulations and all the best with the vineyard. 🍷👍
The masks are so stupid can’t watch it
I Spent a lifetime at Willy... 84 to 91. Saw the fighting Jackrabbits of the 96th in the wall... Might have crossed paths with him once or twice but I was enlisted with 82FMS and 100th FTW.. I heard Newport, WA, and wondered if it is the East side or the West side of the state. Congratulations Col Waterman, Enjoy your "Growing" retirement.
It’s not easy ending thirty plus years. It comes up on you, the distant future is now, all of a sudden
At 19 years old I arrived at Webb Air Force Base , for Jet Pilot Training . Best Times of my Life ! My Instructors were mostly Ex Vietnam Fighter Pilots. I was a Second Lieutenant graduated from the Chilean Air Force Academy. My Respects Sir !!!
Figure out what to do when you grow up . What a cool guy
Cool story 😉
Swervin had a 33 year flying career in the USAF. I had a buddy named CWO5 Steve Hubbard who had a 45 year career flying in the US Army Reserves. I served as a Major in the active duty USAF and respect Swervin for making Ltc. as an active duty USAF officer Major and then making Ltc. in the Reserves.
So how long have Reservists been able to teach at UPT? Wished this was available when I left the AF for the airlines.
Should have been a full bird or a brigadier at least. His work definitely enhanced the security of the nation. Congrats on a successful decades long tour. Glad as hell it was mostly fun. Best wishes to Swervin and family.
When all you do is fly airplanes, it is extremely difficult to get promoted. Remember that there are LT's and Captains who can also fly airplanes. Promotion to Colonel or General takes a lot more then flying airplanes. You have to attend SOS, ACSC, and AWC in addition to holding down many extra responsibilities in the Command structure.
This guy looks like he can go to task on a GIANT stack of pancakes.
Exactly.... "Officership"; how about a jog and less donuts...
Congrats Swervin! I think we crossed paths at Moody.
Some people teach. Some people learn. When the two meet, greatness ensues. 1 ea Airman. For life.
Congrats on a well deserved retirement Swervin. 33 years all flying tours. You re my career spirit animal. Much luck and health on your next venture back home in WA. -Gonzo
Maybe they should add being as woke as humanly possible to the list….. Bitches
Was blessed to go to UPT in 1966 (68 B - Laughlin AFB) - 53 weeks of hard work and flying - one of the best years of my life - after that flew fighters for 26 years F-4s and F-16s and three combat tours) - retired and had to grow up - those who are good enough to go to UPT - my advice - enjoy what you are honored to do! and check six!
Thank you for your devotion.
Muzzles are madness
Amazing 🥇🥇🥇
I absolutely love this video. Congrats Swervin. You are a true American hero.
Its still the chair force
