T-38 IP currency Q's

[talondriver]

So is there any difference between AD IP and a full time reservist? Or are the schedules the same?

No difference. Same uniform so must be the same schedule. Joining is easy. Just walk in and tell them you qualify because you're staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

Flying While Retired...

For those of you "in the know": do your T-38 units have any pilots that retired, and came back as part time reservists flying in the T-38?

I know this may sound like I'm smoking crack by asking this question, but please just humor me.

Huggy,

Yep, actually there is at least one at Laughlin AFB that I know of. He retired there sometime after his stint in active duty as the 87th FTS SQ/CC, then became a simulator instructor in the T-37 and flies as a T-38 IP. There are some special rules that apply...has to do with pay.

By non-USAF dudes I asume you mean foreign nationals or what? What is exactly required to join your Reserve? Is a green card sufficient? ;o)

I wouldn't mind going back to Sheppard as a full time reserve in the IFF ;o) Bet the competition is tough though. I am currently flying F-16s in the Danish Air Force, but used to be an IFF IP at Sheppard 99-03

Actually, assuming you're not being a smartass ( ), I'm talking about other US military forces pilots. At least one guy was a USN dude, the other one was a former US Marine Harrier pilot.
