What used to be an open-door process now requires more deliberate selection due to the sheer number of applicants and the desire to give each person the time and attention they deserve. Because of that, it’s essential to…

“North Korea has entered the chat”……. As the world stage has been focusing on other enemies, NK has still been developing weapons to bring to a fight. As they celebrated 80 years of their Air Force, 3 new weapons were unveiled to Kim. This is a big “leap” as majority of the KPAF is old tech from China and Russia. Worth a read to see how…

Congratulations you just landed the job, now what?! You have a long road a head of paperwork, training, and PCSing before you get to strap into the cockpit you were hired to fly. If you’re not in the military you’ll swear in and join the “student flight” before you head to MEPS and your FC1. If you’re in the military just not that unit you’ll…

As someone waiting to go to Wright-Patt, I appreciate the advice.
Do you happen to have any gouge on the turn around for appointments, and then further for approval? I submitted my last docs 2.5 weeks ago and still haven’t gotten a date, just making sure that’s to be expected, and how long to expected after I go for it to get stamped, fingers crossed.

Tennessee Guard to Receive Eight KC-46s
The Air Force has tapped McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base to host KC-46 aerial refuelers, replacing the KC-135.

I think this is just the beginning of multiple Guard and Reserve Units getting this airplane.
These may be some of the best places to get a job as not everyone wants to the 5-6 month initial training.
If MAF (Mobility Air Forces) is your goal, I would keep a Unit like this on your radar.
