	Fighter Pilot FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Several years ago the Air Force had a pilot "excess," rather than "shortage." As a result, they culled their applicants with requirements for 20/20 vision, and they also favored Academy graduates, which was one of the benefits of Academy attendance.
		In general, new pilots are placed on "formal release." This means they have to show up at a specific time everyday and can't leave until given permission by their instructors; it is unlikely they get such permission prior to the expiration of their 12 hour day.
		In the Air Force, after you are commissioned it takes approximately one year to accomplish undergraduate pilot training, three months for IFF, a few weeks for SERE and water survival, and approximately six months for your fighter's basic course.

	The Strategy of the Fighter Pilot
		That's why the OODA loop, the brainchild of "40 Second" Boyd, an unconventional fighter pilot, is one of today's most important ideas in battle or in business.
		He knew it instinctively in the early 1950s when, as a young U.S. Air Force fighter pilot -- cocky even by fighter-pilot standards -- he issued a standing challenge to all comers: Starting from a position of disadvantage, he'd have his jet on their tail within 40 seconds, or he'd pay out $40.

		He proceeded militantly to advocate simpler fighter designs and attracted a group of like-minded civilian and uniformed reformers, known as the Acolytes, who were mostly as unorthodox as he.
