Thanks Stealth that's all helpful. So pretty much all I can do is work my @ss off and hope that the right aircraft are available?

Thanks, that makes it more clear. Do any of the four other bases offer better chances at certain planes? Or is that all based upon UPT performance?

An Academy grad briefly explained ENJJPT to me the other day. Can anyone explain how getting sent here after USAFA works?

Hey man I went through that same process and had some of the same thoughts. My advice is do a little of both. Pad your resume and make it impressive but at the same time do work that's fulfilling and makes a difference. Then you'll feel good and your resume will look good.
