Good Afternoon BogiDope Fam!

I wanted to provide a general overview on C-130 deployment life for you all:

– C-130 “Hercules” Deployments since 09/11 in many Guard squadrons have been a 4-month tasking. The squadron will receive the full 4-month tasking and will (typically) break that into two 2-month long deployments (“first half” and…

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Air Force Reserve Command unsponsored UPT board, especially around timing and when it makes sense to use it.

My general view is that the AFRC unsponsored board appears less age-sensitive than a fighter board, and probably closer to a heavy board in how it looks at age. Because of that, it can be a…

Tragic to hear about this situation and the KC-135 crew. Even in non-hostile zones the job is still incredibly dangerous and you must be on your A game. The military still has many of its losses from non-combat related operations unfortunately. RIP fellow brothers

KC-135 Tanker Crashes In Iraq During Operation Epic Fury Sortie (Updated)

U.S. Central Command says two aircraft were involved in the incident and that a search and rescue effort is currently underway.

Hey everyone,

For those looking for more opportunities to apply, West virginia, 167th AS has C-17 UPT board open. They did not post it on milrecuiter so here is the link. Deadline is 6 March. Best of luck!

BogiDopers—

The world has heated up over the past few days.

As you watch the news and the politics surrounding the current operation, make no mistake: opinions are plentiful, but so is the threat.

I applaud each of you for striving to step up and join the team.

Wishing all of our service members a successful mission and a safe return. Thank you for your service, guys. 🇺🇸

Huge congrats to Graham Allgood on earning a KC-135 slot with the 72nd ARS.

He put in the work, prepared the right way, and showed up ready.

Selection boards reward clarity, preparation, and composure — and he brought all three.

Proud of you, brother. Well earned. 🇺🇸✈️

Anyone else not able to get into the BogiDope app? Just want to see if it’s a bug or maybe just scheduled maintenance?

Hey all,

I’ve been on here for a while and haven’t introduced myself to the community as a whole yet, so I thought I’d do so briefly.

I really can’t say I’m a native Texan since I grew up all around world as a military brat, but I have lived here in Fort Worth, Texas for over a decade. I studied mathematics and played tennis at Dallas…

So we all know that even though the official “ineligibility” age is 33 for UPT, squadrons typically aren’t even giving you a look if you’re anywhere close to that. Some squadrons have explicitly stated that you shouldn’t even apply if you’re over a specific age because they won’t give you an interview (I have seen as young as 27 formally,…
