I have no idea how many years it takes to be a Colonel, so no..... I didn't do the math. Can you skip major and go straight to colonel?

Can you skip idiot and go straight to moron?
 
I have a honest question, as I'm severly lacking in military knowledge, but do the 16's, 15's etc etc have any type of weather radar?

Just curious and was wondering. Thanks Scrap for your service.

The F-15 has a WX radar mode on it's APG-63 (it's air-air radar). The WX portion is marginal at best, but the actual radar for tactical use is still extremely effective. On the F-16, you can move the air-ground radar (it has both an air-air fxn and an air-ground fxn due to its multi-role capability) up to level with your flight attitude and it does an OK job at picking out the major t-storms. On the F-22, the WX radar is actually pretty good and it's got color fidelity as well.

Hope that helps...
