They probably are thinking that with the vast amount of awesome info you are getting here a mere SERE course would be redundant and a waste of time. :)

The 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, cancelled local flying operations today for F-35A Lightning II aircraft due to a series of five incidents in which pilots have experienced hypoxia-like symptoms.

I still think your gonna end up flying robots or maybe a cook on a sub, but if they let you in a real aero-plane, does the fact that your in T-45's put you on a hornet/F-35 track, or do the turbo props with tail hooks also fly the t-45's before getting to their airframe?

"The T-45 uniquely prepares students for the future challenges of a 21st century battlefield, namely: not being able to breathe. It's no longer a bug, it's now a feature!" <-- My quote :D

All tailhook pilots (F/A-18, E-2, C-2) all train in the T-45, but we have a contract before we start in the jet, so we know for sure which community we're going to.

I'm Strike, so I'm locked into the F/A-18C/E/F or E/A-18G. If the F-35 comes out for selection before I'm done here, that will be an option too, but there's no chance of E-2/C-2 for me.

Ohhh man, how friggin cool.  That's really awesome Serenity, not only do you have the honor of being a naval aviator and a tail hooker, but you get to fly the pointy nose jets.  WTFG.
