Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War by Robert Coram
This book was an awesome deep dive into old-school fighter culture and the behind-the-scenes politics that shaped some of the most iconic jets still flying today, including the F-15, F-16, and B-1. It really highlights the value of doing your homework and being prepared, but…

Reply to Rush Event Networking
I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to just getting together with BogiDope coaches and fellow members a few times first, even without squadrons initially involved. Simply being able to network within that group and create some unique shared experiences would already make it worthwhile!
Maybe the first few events could feature guest speakers from…

Reply to B-course (FTU) Questions
Hey @Smack-Meier ,
This is an amazing public service to reach out before the webinar to ensure everyone’s questions get answered, so I didn’t want to let it go to waste!
Primary Question: What are some of the more common reasons (and ways to avoid them) that someone makes it through UPT and IFF but then ends up struggling or washing out during…

7 months agoMilitary Test Prep 7 months agoHas anyone used afoqtpracticetest.com for test prep? I’m particularly interested in feedback from those who have taken the AFOQT and can comment on how comparable the questions are. I’ve watched some of Tutor Gunboss’ webinars, and while they seem similar, I’m cautious about wasting time, especially with my test date approaching on September…

@EricD Tutor Gunboss will take you to the finish line. I’ve used multiple softwares and 6 textbooks, but Gunboss’ material and insight was superior. I spent 9 months studying and scored 99 Pilot / 71 CSO / 99 ABM. Unless you feel ready and absolutely have to take the test on the 21st, I’d take the time to book a couple sessions per week… Read more

If I could do it all over again, I would have just worked with Gunboss. I bought all the study books, they were ok, but working with Gunboss is what helped me get that 96 Pilot score. It really helps to have a personalized studying approach, especially if you are like me and math isn’t your jam.

Tips for Networking with Pilots at Specific Units?
Hello everyone,
I’m trying to figure out the best way to network with pilots at specific units and could use some advice. Is reaching out on LinkedIn too forward, or is that generally okay? I’m really trying not to step on any toes or commit any faux pas while going through this process, but I also understand that making genuine connections…

@SLAP Unfortunately, I have about 1.5 years left, so hoping to start be able to start rushing this summer (thanks to the advice of @CHAOS ) and then start legitimately sending packets next year. That unfortunately only gives me one year of being qualified and sending packets before I’m 33, so working on a very compressed timeline, but…

Hello everyone, my name is Eric. I’ve been a career college dabbler, which unfortunately made my GPA suffer, and have been a project manager for my entire professional career. I moved to Denver about 2 years ago and got fascinated by the constant air traffic overhead, including the Buckley F-16s. In the course of looking into how to become…

That’s amazing, WAS! Congratulations; it seems that you are a dedicated and hard worker and earned everything you’ve achieved. I sure wish I had everything together when I was college age. Best of luck to you moving forward!
