Basic Training unit
Looking at the other post by cheese he has a fair comment about OTU being an operational training unit. But maybe there is a need for a Basic Training unit as well. Could be a way to bring some sprogs into the fold. My personal experience was that when I first stared in DF severs I had no clue what I was doing ( only slightly more now eh :ymblushing: ) and my learning curve would have been way quicker with a friendly Instructer buzzing my ear.
As I opened my gob and if this idea goes forward I would have to step forward to help even for a trial period to see if theer is any interest out there.

Re: Basic Training unit
That's a nice idea. If it goes forward a basic guide should be prepared to deal with all of the initial questions. How do I join a server etc etc.
In selecting the motto... 'all for one and one for all'... I have done so because it expresses what should be the creed to every Fighter Pilot. Never forget that you are an essential cog in the wheel, and if you break or fail it will let down your brother pilots, and the grimness of war allows for no such weakness.

Re: Basic Training unit
That's covered in af1 brief and verbally before Op, be a better idea not to fly 4 assessment flights as this doesn't cover the basics. Things like formation flying will only get better with experience. Killroy for instance hasn't flown much online so although take off/landing are above average he has no idea where to be or how to stay in formation. 4 assessment flights was never going to be enough to get him through to an operational Sqn.
Perhaps it's OTU that needs a re-vamp .

Re: Basic Training unit
I'm assured by a certain No1 Batman that it is indeed possible to fall off bottom.
Not that this applies, you understand. Just an example.
