Reply to ANG UPT Slots Cut

Woof. Yep, certainly not good news but let me offer some context.

1) It’s not just an ANG problem, expect that USAFA and ROTC will take cuts. Usually in the scenarios, it’s least bad for ANG.

2) It’s not just a Boeing problem. There was an engine contract that didn’t go well but is apparently improving. See below.

3) It is only a fighter…

I’ve received a couple of questions on how to get in contact with units for rushing purposes, general info, etc. One of the best places to start is the squadron map at MilRecruiter: https://app.milrecruiter.com/squadrons.

What do you do while waiting?

How does everyone here spend their time while…

Future Fighter Pilots of BogiDope,

I wanted to share a little insight with those getting started in the UPT process and looking at Guard/ Reserve Fighter Units.

Congrats to one of our BDope members who recently retook the AFOQT and almost aced it! He scored 99 pilot, and his lowest score was a 95! He was recently selected as a Jacksonville Alternate, and improvement like this will assuredly get him to the finish line before too long! This is a perfect example of how continually improving your…

Reply to Introduce Yourself

Chainsaw,

Thanks for sharing your story! Getting a UPT slot is definitely a process. It’s rare to strike gold on your first swing at the bat. You’re headed in the right direction by improving your application and taking feedback to heart. Unit’s are often impressed by applicants returning a second time with an improved package and showing…
