Ground Rules

  • Can submit any time/day  
  • Late submissions permitted (up to 1 week)
  • Can double count flight bonding with RR, EPT, Wellness
  • Can’t double count flight and squadron events
  • No virtual events & facetimes/zoom don’t count as attendance
  • FTP sessions do not earn points.

Streak Bonus

To incentivize consistent flight events, flights will earn a stacking multiplier for holding at least one flight event per week. The longer the streak, the higher the multiplier!

  • Streak of 1 week: 1.33x multiplier
  • Streak of 2 weeks: 1.67x multiplier
  • Streak of 3 weeks: 2x multiplier
  • Streak of 4 weeks: 2.33x multiplier
  • Streak of 5 weeks: 2.67x multiplier
  • Streak of 6+ weeks: 3x multiplier (MAX)​​

How It Works

  • A flight earns a streak by hosting at least one flight event per week
  • A "week" is defined as Tuesday at 1700 to the following Tuesday at 1700
  • Missing a week resets the streak
  • The streak multiplier applies only to flight events (not squadron or wing events)
  • Spring Break Exception: The two weeks of Spring Break will count as one cumulative week
