What Students Say
Made The Real Difference
Which path is right for you?
We get it. You're a high-performer, but you want to choose the right tool for the job. Here’s the difference between our two main tiers of service.
Afterburner Academy
The Academy is like getting the keys to a world-class gym. You get access to all the equipment (our video library, templates, and resources) and a proven workout plan, but you’re on your own to figure out how to use them effectively. It’s perfect for disciplined self-starters who prefer to work at their own pace.
BogiDope
Bootcamp
The Bootcamp is for those who want to guarantee their results. It’s like having a dedicated personal training team. We don’t just give you the gym key; we’re on the floor with you for 8 weeks, creating your plan, checking your form, and holding you accountable to achieve your goals faster than you could alone.
Bottom line: If you want aviation career 'personal trainer' approach (accountability, personalized feedback, and the fastest path to the cockpit), the Bootcamp is for you.
Led by USAF Pilots with Hiring Board Experience
You’ll be coached by the best—a team of active and former military pilots who have successfully navigated the same journey you’re on now. They’ve sat on hiring boards, reviewed thousands of applications, and know exactly what it takes to get selected.

Anyone targeting an Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve pilot slot—whether you’re brand-new to the process or already rushing squadrons and want to maximize your competitiveness.
No prior military or aviation experience is required. We start from the fundamentals and build progressively. Some candidates come with flight hours or military background, while others start from zero—our program accommodates both.
Plan to dedicate 3-5 hours per week to get the most from the Bootcamp. This includes attending live sessions, watching training videos, and completing assignments. The program is designed to work around full-time jobs or school schedules.
All live sessions are recorded and made available in your student portal within 24 hours. While live participation offers the benefit of real-time interaction, you won’t miss any content if you need to watch the recording instead.
Absolutely! Each student receives personalized feedback on their resume, cover letter, and interview skills from experienced military pilot coaches who know exactly what squadrons are looking for in candidates.
The Bootcamp provides structured, step-by-step guidance with accountability, personalized feedback, and access to coaches who have actually served on hiring boards. Our systematic approach prevents the common pitfalls of self-guided research.
Yes! The Bootcamp is specifically designed with ANG/AFR hiring processes in mind. Our coaches have extensive experience with these units and understand their unique selection procedures and culture.
Much of the résumé, networking, and interview prep applies universally, but the curriculum is laser-focused on ANG/AFR hiring. Future tracks for other pipelines are in development.
Week 1 of the Bootcamp is dedicated to exploring different military aviation paths and aircraft communities. You’ll learn about fighters, heavies, tankers, and helicopters to help determine which best aligns with your goals and strengths.
While we can’t guarantee hiring outcomes (no program truthfully can), we provide all the tools, knowledge, and preparation needed to maximize your competitiveness. Our past students have achieved significantly higher selection rates than the general applicant pool.
You’ll also be invited to join our alumni Mastermind network where you can connect with other applicants and receive ongoing support during your application journey.
We offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you complete the first two weeks and don’t feel the program is right for you, contact us for a full refund.
