Good morning BogiDope! My hope is that every one of you find yourselves in a military flightsuit and land your dream job. The journey, the flying, the deployments will all go by in a flash and you’ll be stuck looking back thinking, ” I can’t believe I was able to be a part of something this incredible!”
When I was in ROTC at the University…

I’m aware that I’m replying to my own post, ha. Strategery!
If you weren’t aware…there’s a new series that aires mid-September on National Geographic that is focused on the rigors of Navy Flight School. I don’t know about you all, but I can watch airplanes fly all day long! Definitely excited to see how this…

In Top Gun 2 we see Mav throw out the “owners manual” essentially of how to operate the F-18 safely. As a fight pilot it is very important to know how your aircraft performs, how squeeze every bit out, and what to do if you cross the line. In the Viper community we have what we call “Spin school” where one deliberately over saturates the…

Like it or not this is a threat that every branch, every DOD member, and almost every American needs to be familiar with. Thankfully leadership sees the the capability and is starting to work quickly to get defense on all platforms and players. It is very much needed as we traverse further into the tech…

Hey BD! One of the great experiences you’ll hopefully get to have after being selected and completing your training is “Fly-overs”. It’s a great way to interact with the public and maybe recruit the future! You’ll be able to participate in airshows, college games, professional sporting events like the MLB all star game and even the Super Bowl…

Reply to Will IPT replacing IFT change Guard/Reserve hiring?
I agree with SMAX’s perspective. The Air Force is no different than any other major civilian flying training operation (Part 121 Airlines being the biggest).
You want standardization across the community. I am sure that the IPT syllabus, as SMAX says, will continue to evolve and change. Some people will have more experience than others…

For those of you future F-35 pilots (and eventual sixth-gen)…you may have unmanned wingman following you around before long. Seems like we’ve been reading about this concept forever, but this is an exciting step to make it a reality!

As a BogiDope coach, I often get asked, “how do I go about scheduling the AFOQT and TBAS?” That is a critical question, and unfortunately one that really does not have an approved/guaranteed solution. As is the case with so many other aspects of our lives, it seems like you (the applicant) have to find the right person in the right mood who…
-
Sir,
It took it me about 5 years on and off, from contacting recruiters throughout different states, contacting ROTC detachments, and reaching out to education centers on different bases. I was able to take the AFOQT after persistently reaching out to a recruiter that was two states away from me. Scheduling the TBAS was much easier, I…

@Randy_N thank you for the data. If folks have realistic expectations on the process to get the AFOQT scheduled, that will help plan a timeline as well as understand the persistence it takes to make the test happen. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Anyone else willing to share their story about getting the AFOQT scheduled?
