Couple Quick Questions

I’m graduating recently and am very interested in pursuing aviation in the military through the guard or the reserve. Don’t have a preference between fixed or rotary? However I would like to pursue a career at the airlines. My brother flies Apache’s and loves it though, and rotary sounds really cool. So I have started…

I can understand that struggle man. I don’t have a lot of advice on this particular issue but know you’re not alone in dealing with this. I’ve been fighting over something similar and have gotten the exact same response as what you posted at one point.

Hey man. I’m pushing 29 now and having to

face some similar decisions as yourself soon. And to be honest I’ve been blessed with good scores 99/99/99/92/88/89 and 99 PCSM.


BUT I have not landed an interview either…

I began applying to OTS Rated Boards through a recruiter, and learned some interesting statistics. In 2022, they selected ~330…

Hey guys, curious on some feedback. After I take my AFOQT, should I start applying to units with my scores and low flight hours even though I plan on flying after application deadlines or should I only apply with a higher amount of flight hours and do it all in 1 go. I have my thoughts but am curious for advice! 

Thank you in advance !

Has to be the Viper! Single-seat, 9G, Mach 2, Wild Weasel, Fast-FAC, multi-role victory machine. Undefeated in aerial combat (74:0).

But I might be biased…or just flat-out right.

Eric,

You wouldn’t be the first Guard/ Reserve Flyer to take the scenic route through college. My best advice is to rush, rush, and then rush some more. You can absolutely do this before you’re qualified. Trying to offset your weaknesses by padding your resume on paper pales in comparison to getting face time with the pilots, telling them…
