Hi,
It's quite probable you've enlisted in squadrons that are not yet fully operational. Check the squadron status on the main screen. Your mission frequency will also show as 'none'.
If that's the case you won't fly proper sorties until they become operational, you'll fly solo flights to test your machine and get used to the area.
"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
