A very interesting thread. A little ancient cadet history for anyone interested. I was an Air Force Aviation Cadet during the late 1950's. Requirements for a USAF Aviation Cadet at the time were two years of college and passing scores on a series of IQ and skills tests such as mathematics, logic, and spatial relations. At the time the pipeline for commissioned officers in the Air Force was ROTC, OCS, Aviation Cadets, and the new USAF Academy whose first class graduated circa 1958. While the other sources trained and commissioned officers for all USAF career fields, the Aviation Cadet Corps produced only pilots and navigators. We were enlisted in the Air Force for a two year enlistment. Aviation Cadet training was 15 months. The two year enlistment term allowed for cadets who had to temporarily halt training because of illness or injury. The first three months were preflight training at Lackland AFB where we were taught basic military skills such as customs and courtesies, UCMJ, drill, Air Force history, parachute training, confidence course, and firearms training. During cadet training we were paid at the rate of an E5. Upon completion of preflight we went to flight school. Pilot and navigator cadets went to different flight schools. In flight school cadets qualified for flight pay in addition to their regular pay. In those days once a month you went before the pay officer and received your pay in cash. Upon the successful completion of flight school cadets received their flight wings and were commissioned as second lieutenants and incured an additional four year service commitment. Both preflight and flight school were run under the traditional cadet model of upperclass and lowerclass where upperclassmen were responsible for much of the military training and discipline of the lowerclassmen. Interestingly, when a graduating cadet received his commission, (there were no females in the cadet corps in those days), his commission was backdated 15 months to the date he entered the cadet program, giving him a lead on promotion to first lieutenant. Regarding saluting courtesy in the cadet corps. Cadets saluted officers of all United States uniformed services. Cadets were not entitled to receive salutes from enlisted personnel. Within the cadet corps there was a rank structure and cadets saluted other cadets with rank above theirs. Interestingly, one weekend I had a pass and visited a college friend at a nearby naval base where he was undergoing Navy Aviation Cadet training. I was surprised at the gate when I was saluted by the gate personnel. I was further saluted by all enlisted personnel I encountered on base. My friend confirmed that Navy Aviation Cadets rated salutes by enlisted personnel, at least they did at that time. The Air Force Aviation Cadet program was fazed out during the mid 1960's as the Air Force Academy became the primary source of flight rated officers.
So I took the DP induction course and completed my logbook familiarisation tasks and accumulated 50 DP days back in 2013 as a cadet. Then everything changed and I needed an OICNW endorsement to take the simulator course. Needless to say, my 5 year timeline has elapsed and I have not received my DPO cert nor taken the advanced simulator course. Am I correct with the new scheme that I need to retake the induction course, get 60 DP days, take the advanced simulator course, get 60 More DP days and complete an entire new logbook? Essentially completely start over right? None of that is transferable correct?
Dear Wanda: A memoir of World War II - Dear Wanda: A memoir of World War II by Onan A. Hill. ISBN 978-1-62510-240-9. This is a very personal account of the Author's life for four years in the military from 1942 to 1946. This long letter was written specifically for his wife and four children. So, it is sometimes intimate. The narration covers his enlistment in the Signal Corps and his work as a radio operator in Hawaii, his transfer to the Army Air Corps, and his training as a cadet to become a Navigator and eventually a Mickey Operator, a radar navigator, tyhe one who does the bombing when there is overcast. He survives a combat tour, returnes to the States and washes out of pilot school, takes a refresher course and navigates C-54s across the Pacific. He is separated from the service as a Captain and undergoes a "let down" from four years if living with men only and then goes off to college.
