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To start, most squadrons have out of date contact information on MilRecruiter.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…

I’m coming from the Army rotary side of the house, but I feel this is probably true of all aviation.

Your greatest resources are the people around you. Make friends, establish good study habits, and most importantly HAVE FUN. Aviation is one of the greatest jobs on the planet and some people forget how lucky they are to be paid to fly

Hey everyone, new here as of an hour ago and am eager to begin my aviation career. Going to explore the app a little bit but if anyone has any pointers/advice at this point, anything is appreciated!

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 wanted to see if you’ve made any headway in your transition

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.

a few questions:

Is this is normal and I just missed all the summer hiring?

When is the next hiring season?

Should I send my application to the units anyway, or wait until they repost UPT slots?

yes, I contacted several at first and they all said they needed AFOQT and TBAS testing.

after taking your AFOQT, you can then take the TBAS. Bring your logbook and college transcript to the TBAS test.

they will then compile all of your scores together, and give you a PCSM score. That score is out of 99 points that reflects your chance of…

Sorry, I PM’d you instead of replied on this, oops.

so that everyone can see, I was wondering if you could give a brief play by play of what the process was like, starting from getting your release from the army, to integrating into your unit after finishing flight school.

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…
