Don’t wait! Apply NOW!!!
It will take 12-24 months before you rush, get the interview, hired and then sent to training.
Will joining an AFRC or Guard Unit to improve your chances of getting hired? It depends.
I always tell my clients to evaluate “what’s important to them” when they make that decision.
Bottom Line – The above advice is…

@D.J. I had initially scheduled mine at a local ROTC detachment, but ended up going with a Pearson Vue testing center instead. All I did was look up the test coordinator for that school’s ROTC program (Cornell in my case) and I called them to schedule an appointment. The reason I didn’t end up taking it at the ROTC detachment was because they… Read more

Has anyone had any experience with some of the new UPT tracks?
Are “heavies” (C-130, C-17, KC-135) just going through 9 months in the T-6 and the rest in the Simulator?
I would be interested to hear how this training is going.

@hayden-kimball There are lots of options available. Each has their pros and cons.
Ultimately, you have decide what’s best for you.
I personally recommend a position that has more flexibility such as the Guard or Air Force Reserve because life changes and these slots (although very competitive) give you more control over your life.
Best of luck to…

D.J,
I am having the same issues. I’ve reached out to two recruiters through calls, texts, and emails with no luck. We had a great discussion last AFOQT test prep about the way some people have scheduled tests, it seemed everyone had issues with recruiters. The best way everyone seemed to find was to contact the education center at the…

Rowan,
I would say the Reserve is pretty similar except from promotions. I am not super familar with their process, but I am pretty sure if you want to get promoted past Lt Col/O-5, then you will probably have to switch units.

Interesting times for sure!
Finding a UPT slot can be about timing, but I also tell my clients that you must be persistent (not annoying) and always ready to take what comes your way!
Articles give perspective, but that doesn’t always mean that that is the situation of a particular unit.
I agree, know the landscape, but also remain vigilant…

Reply to What are my chances? Thoughts and opinions?
MGB,
Your AFOQT and PCSM score make you very competitive for a Guard or Reserve UPT Slot!
I give all my clients this advice when it comes to “how do I start with the Guard and Reserve?”
Pretty simple: What is important to you? Is it Airframe? Location of the Unit? How will I be able to balance a civilian and military job? Are there…
