Reply to National Guard Supports Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts!
This one of my favorite missions the Guard is involved in. As a Citizen Airmen, we have both a State and Federal mission. Both are important, but having the skills and resources available for our “next door neighbors” is one of the most rewarding parts of this profession!
Thanks to all who are supporting Hurricane Helene Relief…

I think you are in a great spot, Christian for either the ANG or ARNG! My advice to you is to make a list of areas that matter the most “to you” and try to figure out what airframe, location and service you want to be in. Earning your private pilots license will give you a “leg” up as well as your time already in service.
I would say go…

Good read. Thanks for sharing! Looks like some flight schools are actually developing programs to help people get ready for a “civil path to wings”.

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.

Has anyone taken the AFOQT @ an ROTC Detachment?
If so, how do you schedule the test?

@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…

Does anyone have some good gouge on how to sign up for the AFOQT? I have a Client who is having challenges getting a recruiter to call him back.
Has anyone used an AFROTC detachment to take the test? Or a MEPS location?
Thank you for your help!

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…
