Is my Background Good? Thoughts and feedback.
Hello,
I’m looking to apply for a board next year for an Air Force Reaper Slot. Currently, I am curious if my qualifications so far are good. I have served 4 years in the Marine Corps and Currently Serving in the Army National Guard for 4 years. As of now, I have obtained 8 Mos’s with most being technical and none being aviation. For college, I am currently attending Liberty University for a major in Aviation/Pilot and graduate this semester. I currently hold a commercial license with an instrument rating and a Part 107 commercial drone license. Currently, I am working on my multi-engine add-on. After graduation, I will be completing my CFI. At the moment I almost have 400 flight hours. I currently work as a remote pilot operator in an ATC simulator to train Air Traffic Controllers and as a research intern for a nonprofit.
Please give thoughts, criticism, and recommendations.

Ya brother! That’s a super competitive background. With good scores and some prep I think you’ve got a great shot.

I agree with Husky! You are absolutely going down the right path! The next step is to begin to prepare yourself to be competitive when the interview comes.
We are all pilots! We all like and are motivated by the same things! The difference will be, “do we like this applicant and will they fit into this squadron?’
Preparing to get and then perform in the interview takes the same effort as earning your PPL, Instrument, etc. You need “reps” to feel comfortable and believable.
Our team of coaches would “luv” to help with this journey!

For what it’s worth – I did 6 years in the ANG with no aviation background. Civilian police officer, and way less flight hours than you have. Your background is solid. Just check all the mandatory boxes and prepare yourself best you can. If I got selected, so can you.
