The 20th at Shaw may have local requirements to do a day before night, but I doubt he had never air refueled previously. (However, could be a COVID exigency, but they certainly loaded him up.)
edit: Well upon further review it does say this was his first ever AAR. I'm amazed.
Although, my first ever night AAR was in a single-seat F-100D during a local checkout, no B course. Of course that was the ragtag Guard, but even they made me do a day AAR first, and there were no other complex mission requirements added on.
Was going to say read the report, but then I noticed you had revisited.
yeah, supervision not great in this case.
