- Listen to your SNCOs and enlisted. Please do not have this I am an "O" and u need to obey me even though I have no experience in this field attitude. They will make or break u!
- Find your Flt CC or higher and learn about your organization from the top down, (big picture to your role)
- Be proactive, don't wait for your boss to find you something to do.
- Take a chance to do Exec...I know it blows..but....you do an outstanding job (at GP/WG level and above) you will have a Col/BG pull.
- Play GOLF!
- Be friendly to your enlisted..but understand, but know when you need to be stern. <--especially hard for me being a prior!
There are a lot of more, but I'd rather not fill up long pages of advices. You have any questions, feel free to ask me or PM  |

Thanks guys! Ellsworth, Lackland, and Tyndall FTUs were all scrapped and now Maxwell is the only base that has Field Training. Luckily the weather in AL and LA is pretty much the same so my PFA score actually went up. I'm shooting for a pilot slot, but I'll be happy with anything rated, Maintenance, or Communications. I'm from Det 305 LA Tech University "Dogfighters"
