    Hey y’all. I’m currently working on some applications to both Active Duty OTS as well as the guard one of my long term goals is to go to TPS. I was always more preferential to going AD but now the guard has caught my eye for a variety of reasons. I know going to TPS from the guard is possible and does happen but I’m looking for more info on the process (ideally from someone who has gone down that road) as well as a better idea of if these are anomalies or somewhat standard. Also looking to learn more about test communities within the guard.

    @FlyingLonghorn Congrats on wanting to pursue test pilot school! While I’m no TPS graduate, my current director of operations in my airlift squadron is an Air National Guard TPS graduate. I believe he was a C-130 pilot at the time he was selected for and attended TPS as a guard pilot. If you like, please DM me your resume, age, where you are in joining the Air Force, and I’ll see if he has the availability to chat on the phone with you sometime! -Austin Wayland
