Default Military Pilot Training - Soloing the T-37

Just to answer some questions:

No provision for g-suit.

Air Force Regs prohibit flying unpressurized aircraft higher than
FL250 so 25000 feet was the practical ceiling for the Tweet.

Typical sortie duration was less than 2 hours. Cross country legs
were similar. Lots of fuel stops to get anywhere interesting.

Definitely a fun airplane to own but the fuel costs would be brutal.
