All:
I reached out to every squadron that has a POC on MilRecruiter, whether it was email, phone number, or both.
Here’s my experience.
To start, most squadrons have out of date contact information on MilRecruiter. The ones who do have information posted have said that the best way to keep an eye out for recruiting posts is to keep an eye on the…

good info!
looks like I barely missed summer hiring, bummer. Silver lining, I was getting worried that training was being universally shut down due to the trainer issues. a few units got back to me and said they’re suspending UPT for the time until several issues get resolved..

Just a few months ago MilRecruiter and BogiDope had a large variety of UPT fighter positions open, but looking lately there is not a single slot open.

When is the next hiring season?
Should I send my application to the units anyway, or wait until they repost UPT slots?

what are some challenges you face in the Air Force that didn’t exist in…

So far, I was put into contact with an Air Force recruiter and he gave me a packet to fill out. Some of the things included are:
conditional release
PCSM score
SGLI paperwork
Several questionnaires
basic recruiting paperwork
I HIGHLY recommend studying for the AFOQT. It’s quite different from the SIFT
If you don’t already know, there is a free…

Afternoon!
I just took my AFOQT this morning, still waiting for my grades to return.
I was wondering if there was anyone who has had experience transitioning from green to blue as a pilot.
Mostly everything I know about the transition so far has been self-taught, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!Also, for anyone looking to transition…
