| "You are beginning a year of intense training that will culminate with your being awarded wings-provided that you remain commmitted to the task. Our mission...is to train new pilots to become the finest military pilots in the world, bar none. Nothing matches the thrill and excitement of aviation. Briefing sorties, executing maneuvers, and safely recovering a military jet requires intense focus and commitment to mission accomplishment. Your focus should be total dedication to the UPT experience. Your journey as a military aviator will soon begin. Upon arrival...you must be physically and mentally prepared for the most exciting and challenging 52 weeks of your life. Your reward will be an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and of course, the coveted silver wings of an Air Force aviator." |
