Reply to DQ'D By MEPS for Major Depressive Disorder. Is a Waiver Possible?
Hey thanks for sharing your story! I’ll probably go on a rant as well, cause misery loves company too.
I copied and pasted the wavier guide PDF thats online. Im not a doctor or anyone special, just some person on the internet so don’t take my words as medical advice. I wanna help in some kind of way. It sucks you were hired by a unit only to…

Reply to Active Duty - Navy OCS vs. Air Force OTS
From my own experience with talking with enlisted service members, most would agree that the Air Force is #1 branch for quality of life. I wouldn’t know myself because I’m a civilian applicant, but I trust the opinions of the enlisted to get an honest overview of what to expect or pursue.
Personally I shoot for the top, and see where the…

Reply to Active Duty - Navy OCS vs. Air Force OTS
I personally would have gone to Navy OCS if I had the chance, I’m 32 so that option is no longer viable for me to take since I’m already at the age limit to be a pilot.
Getting in touch with a recruiter on the Air Force side was difficult and a waste of time. If you are serious and want to fly in the military; go Navy. The Air Force has too…

Hey Kevin, I’m glad you asked! I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge and I’ll be leaning heavily on my experience, I might sound a little bitter in my response. I also had a VERY hard time in contacting a recruiter.
You can try reaching out to a recruiter specific to a guard unit, over on Mil Recruiter there should be a point of contact for…

AI in Action
Just saw this on the Youtube. Was wondering what the future of military aviation is going to look like, if anybody has an opinion on it. Kind of scary we are living in the future now.

Drones and AI as a force multiplier are inevitable. Additionally, it’s hard not to think that they will continue to be an increasingly significant part of the future force. That said, manned combat aircraft will still be a part of the strategy for the foreseeable future, as evidenced by the NGAD/F-47 program. It’s certainly interesting to…

Reply to Whats my chance (ANG, Reserve)?
If you haven’t watch this podcast yet, its pretty insightful in what a board is looking for especially if you are looking at fighters. From what I gathered from the podcast, if you are not a nepo baby or a USAFA graduate. Getting into a guard unit as a civilian is going to be very hard, almost impossible. They mentioned in the podcast they…

Were you able to get an answer to your question?
If you haven’t already, you could work with a recruiter to have them schedule you to go to MEPS to see if you are medically qualified. I got disqualified for having a sore knee 🤣, working on getting a wavier for it.

Alternative Options For Flying
Hello everybody,
I’m trying to explore other opportunities to fly for the military. It has always been my goal to fly for the Air National Guard, but I haven’t been successful. I suspect my age(32) and me working as a security guard isn’t impressing anyone on a hiring board 😂.
I’m currently applying to a rated board for Active Air Force as…

Top Secret Clearance Employment History
For those of you who have filled out a sf-86.
My question is how did you fill out the contact information for previous supervisors if you can’t get this information. I have held multiple part time jobs through out a 10-year time span. I tried contacting my previous employers, but they are not willing to disclose any information about my supervisors.
finn-kos and aaron1watson Reply to AFOQT Contacts and Scheduling Trouble in San Diego
Randy here. I recently received a voucher code from the Air Force Reserve Officer recruiter in Temecula. Im now waiting for my test results to get back to me; hopefully soon. If you get a voucher code from a recruiter, you can schedule the AFOQT at your discretion including the testing location. No need to go on base.
It took me about 4-months…
