Anyone who puts in an application to Army flight school gets accepted (they're that short; no more vetting).


Everyone who starts training makes it to their advanced aircraft; no matter how bad they are.  


The majority (and I'm not joking) will make it through their advanced aircraft even if they can barely pass their 5/9 test, check-ride, etc.  The Army's that short pilots and they're being pushed through and hoping the units can get them up to speed.  The Apache community is actually kicking them out for fligh deficiency I'm told, but their standards are pretty darn low too.  


Most garbage students will finally get FEB'd at their units, the rest may just be super slow to be FORCED into becoming PICs one day.


Training at the unit is just more risk averse / dumbed down to compensate for the lower standards.  


It's a sad world.  These young pilots that have gone through the Lakota IERW training will be reaching their 6 years ADSO's this coming year so you will start seeing pilots like these in your midst very shortly. 


Maybe they'll up their own personal standards when they get a reality check of the challenges of flying in the civil world, but I wouldn't count on it.  Be prepared to mentor HIGHLY and not be afraid to call them out or send them on their way if they refuse to learn their trade or follow company rules.
