Hey dude, I don’t think a letter of recommendation from a foreign national is an issue. It might even stand out in the crowd of applications. I was recently picked up by a hiring board and 2 of my 3 letters of recommendation were written by foreign nationals (one was a CFI with British military experience, and the other was a sports coach…

Is it just me, or is the analytics page bugged? The “squadron analytics” page only allows me to select squadrons to apply to rather than view the applicant stats for that specific squadron, and the “global analytics” page isn’t displaying my percentile score relative to all applicants.

The Barron’s Military Flight Aptitude Tests book and the Trivium AFOQT Study Guide are the top two books I recommend. Take the practice tests in as realistic a testing environment as you can create at home, with real time constraints, etc. and you’ll get a feel for the pacing of the AFOQT. Best of luck!

Hey man, the 93rd FS does host civilian UPT boards. They had one last year! Reach out to them and maybe you can get the inside scoop on when they might next be hiring.

I haven’t heard anything about them canceling the board, which was only announced a few days ago. Where are you seeing that?

Previously, having a PPL allowed pilots to skip IFS. This IPT syllabus seems more involved; how is that going to play with pilot certs attained before attending training?

Hey man, I’m assuming you meant that you already took the AFOQT but are needing some help figuring out how to get on base for the TBAS? Process might be different depending on your location, but I would recommend reaching out to the Education & Training Center at your local air force base. They should be able to assist you in scheduling the…

Hawaii was not published on Milrecruiter; I found out about the opportunity by emailing their recruitment office a few months before the hiring window opened

Florida, Hawaii, South Dakota, California, Oregon, Louisiana, and New Jersey have all had UPT hiring events in the past few months. I’ve heard Idaho may have one later this Summer. Often there’s a late Spring / early Summer hiring window followed by an Autumn / Winter window. There’s no predictable schedule for these things though. Especially…
