The best advice I can give is learn from your mistakes at UPT (there will be many) and own up to them. My unit (before they went into C-17 conversion) was sending 4-5 guys/gals a year to UPT. About half were solid citizens. The other half are whiny little Embry-Ridiculous FLAPs that have an excuse for everything. Don't be one of those. Uunderstand that you are getting over $1m in free flight training and oh, yeah BTW, getting paid WELL for it. Never forget the folks that work on your jets, the ones that preflight your parachutes and oxygen masks, and make sure every facet of your training goes like clockwork make about HALF of what you do and they're fully qualified in their jobs. You are there exclusively to study and learn how to fly airplanes the AIR FORCE way. Never forget that.
Lastly, if you savor every day at UPT, it will be over before you know it. I had 20 classmates in UPT, all 21 of us made it. I still talk to/email half of them at least once a month. It will be the last time that your only job will be to fly. Good luck.
