<p>This is very true. I washed out of pilot training, however, my class just had their track select a week ago. From an objective standpoint, it was a pretty solid class with several people with very good numbers. However, when it came down to it, there were only 2 T-38 slots. Also, despite that several people had put T-44s either 1st or 2nd on their list of preferences, only 2 active duty people got them. The one guy who wanted helos got them. All the other AF guys got T-1s. Indeed, there are no guarantees… there’s also no guarantee a given person will make it through UPT, even if they put in maximum effort. Out of my original class of thirty, plus the guy in a class ahead who washed back, only 24 are still there.</p>
