@QUEST Best of luck brother! I finished OTS in Feb and am halfway through IPT. The Air Force has been the best opportunity of my entire life, extremely grateful. Let me know if you need help with anything regarding your package!

Hello sir!

Currently at USAF OTS eyeing the F35 in the future. SEAD, CAS, and the Sandy mission are the three missions that speak to me the most. With the A-10 going away, does the F-35 syllabus support full-scale CAS after the A-10 winds down, or is it a Big Blue pipedream that the F-35 is an adequate replacement?

Thanks,

Derek

Find the phone number of the education center at the base you want to test at. Keep calling and ask to be directed to the AFOQT POC. At Luke AFB, she was a civilian contractor. Super sweet lady, was a little confused how I got a hold of her but she let me test with everyone else. Only stipulation was i had to find my own way on base, found…

Love a good tailwheel. Reminds me of the old books about the Broncos in Vietnam, probably a pretty shit hot mission. I just hate that it doesn’t have ejection seats. Wouldn’t want to hang my ass out at low level single engine with no Martin Baker.

Go to where the fight is and work with America’s best. Also shoot laser rockets and try not to giggle.

Keebler, whats going on, how are you? I recently discovered that USAF and ENJJPT are offering exchange programs with the Navy to fly the Growler out of UPT. Was wondering if you knew anything about these programs and could offer some insider insights?

Thanks,
Derek

Are any of the BogiDope coaches able to scour their network for the resources to coach for ENJJPT application deliverables? Would love to schedule some time with one of you.

Thanks,

D.J., my best piece of advice for AFOQT and TBAS is skip the recruiter altogether! Every base (as far as i know) has an education center. Start cold calling the education center until someone schedules you for the test or redirects you to someone who can!

Only caveat, as a civilian you will usually have to find your own way on base through a…

I heard rumors of the AI interview, it seems that has gone away because mine was with a commander. It was just a few leadership oriented questions (there’s a ton of resources online for officer interviews, expect any variation of those that you find).

A small tip, if you can find out the name of your interviewing commander, it may be prudent to…
