Hey Ben, I have been working with a guard unit and currently waiting on a flight board in March. The guard unit seems to be more of who you know than quality of applicant. Someone recently told me to look into the reserves but I don’t know much about it and my local active/reserve recruiter has reputation of not fulfilling what he promises. I would love to talk about the reserve option.

I have been working with the tutor provided by BogiDope. I take my sift next week. I can let you know what worked for me after I take it. I have several study guide books I would resale to you for cheap.

Hey everyone, my name is Cody Waldrop. I am 33 and currently fly helicopters for my local police department. I always wanted to fly in the military since a young boy. I let family and friends talk me out of pursuing that role, when I was in my twenties. Three years ago, God started putting this dream back on my heart and started opening doors for me. I was tasked to help start an aviation unit in my department and they trained me to fly the helicopters we acquired from the Army. Over the last three years, I was able to obtain my degree and continued with my masters while doing flight training and working. My love of flying has pushed me to accomplish these dreams I had many years ago. My dream is to fly fighters or the Apache but, after several conversations, it seems this is a tough road to accomplish this dream at my age. I have not fully given up on the Air Force route but I think my best bet would be flying in the Army. I have been working with the Army coach and he has helped me tremendously with contacts and guidance. I also have been working with the tutor Jeff Negus to help boost my scores. I am currently in the process of getting the asvab and Sift scheduled. Does anyone have any insight for study material or tips for the Sift test?

I recently seen a video on YouTube of a person using a program that had flash cards to help with the drone subtest of the TBAS. Does anyone know where to go to get the flash card program? I am looking to retake my TBAS in the near future and struggled on this part the first time.

That is good to hear. My dream airframe is the 64 and that’s why I’m been pursuing the guard more. I wish the reserve had them. I can’t seem to get a good definitive answer on which way is better the guard or reserve. Can you give me your honest opinion on why the reserve is better? Which one has better benefits? How does unit selections work?

Ok, my wife has a great job and I was curious if there was anyway for her to keep her job and me commute after completing all the training. We will do what ever it takes if I get selected but just checking all options.

All of them. My first choice is fighters but I am about to start applying to everything available and going with the first one that picks me up.
