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 a friend of a friend with a buddy that was an LTC and he emailed the visitor center to sign off on my base pass ahead of time. Hope this helps!

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

Don’t let that 8% number scare any of you interested in AD!

I assure you, the quest for a Guard slot has made all of you absolute STUDS. All of you have incredible stories, great test scores, and impressive flight hours. You’ll find the same things that made you an asset to a Guard unit also make you incredibly competitive to OTS boards, and the process isn’t much different!

It may not be the route that you originally imagined, but remember, flying anything looks pretty shit hot compared to flying a desk! Our Air Force needs you, and let our adversaries fear you!

Derek signing off, let me know if any of you have any questions.
