The Story So Far...


Where am I now?


I doubt any of you know me already, but my name is Tyler. I'm currently in the daunting journey of becoming a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force. For those of you who don't know this is an EXTREMELY difficult occupation to attain. At the present time I am a cadet in AFROTC, applying and learning the skills necessary to commission as a Second Lieutenant, and hopefully, get selected for a pilot slot.

What does all of that mean?


Well as a present cadet there are many challenges I face every day, such as acquiring medical clearance, working out multiple times a week while I am being analyzed and challenged by those more experienced than me. I go through drill, face the mental challenge of knowing I'm being "stacked" against my peers. Essentially this means that only a certain amount of us will move on to the next rank.

What is this blog?


Well, through this blog I found that I would a passion for speaking on my passion and the journey to it. Sometimes I may write specifically on my experiences in ROTC, and some days I may speak on fun parts such as some time I get lucky to actually fly or what I'm learning in my flight simulator that week. My passion and my dream is to be a fighter pilot. This is the story of how I make that happen.

    This is exciting! I guess it is good that you are close to Shaw and might get the chance to go check out some of what they have! The flyovers are really neat to watch and I know my kids enjoy it.

Officer Selection

ROTC Officer Selection In ROTC not everybody is guarunteed to get a spot as an Air Force Officer. There comes a point called PSP where everyone is stacked around the nation and the Air Force makes a selection based on those standings. This isn't always an easy process for cadets, so for many they may find they need to another year and try again, or even have to drop their aspirations to commission. As you may have guessed, this process has just begun for the sophomore cadets this year.  Looking Out For Your Wingmen The reason why I wanted to talk about this is because only about half of the cadets move on after PSP. It is imperative to look out for each other and insure the mental state of those who don't make it are still good. For this reason I will keep this post a little more brief as this is a stressful time for not only myself, but many cadets out there today. Keep a lookout for each and stay safe. On a good note, tomorrow will be much more lighthearted. A very big new ai...

Beyond Visual Range Combat

The Basic concepts of Beyond Visual Range Combat  Now to preface this, most of the strategies and concepts I will be discussing are only associated with Digital Combat Simulator, nothing to do with real life strategies as that is entirely classified in every was imaginable.  What is it? Beyond Visual Range combat is air-to-air combat done between aircraft in a range of which from roughly 20 miles or further hence it being beyond visual range.  Energy Similar to WVR or BFM as talked about last week, energy, or speed, is crucial to success. If a missile is fired when the pilot is going very slow, inevitably the missile will also be slow. This will reduce it's range significantly. Faster = better in BVR.  Altitude Altitude is another crucial key to success in BVR combat. Higher altitude results in thinner air. Thinner air provides less drag on the aircraft and less drag on missiles, this also helps the missile go further. In a sense, the pi...

Week 2, Something New?

Image
A Normal Week? Nothing major has really happened in my journey this week physically. Mostly just a standard week of studying and learning essential information like inspirational quotes from past military leaders or major command bases. So there really isn't much to talk about (at least until big stuff starts happening hopefully soon). Something New... On a high note however, in my endeavors of teaching myself through a sim I actually decided to invest some time in another aircraft which the United States Air Force flies. The A-10c II, which is a ground attack aircraft designed to carry a large munitions payload and loiter on a battlefield for a long time. I decided to start flying it because I wanted to challenge myself to be able to fly as much as possible so that I can stay flexible so that when I fly IRL I can have a wider understanding on concepts I may not see in the F-16. In tomorrows update, I plan to talk quite extensively about the details of the new airplane and its capa...
