Has anyone been turned down for attending their flight physical after selection? I am not in this boat yet, but a bit worried that it may happen. If so does anyone know if that is a hard stop and the is game over or is there more I can try to do?

It can happen. However, in my humble experience as a Sq/CC, the most-likely obstacle was simply a delay for acquiring a medical waiver, not an outright disqualification. Our medical pros on staff can probably provide specific information to your particular case.
I can’t stress enough the importance of documenting *everything* from your medical…

I agree with Sharky! Start now “owning” your health as it is a critical factor in keeping your military position and eventually your employment in the aviation industry.
Keep good records and keep your status up to date.
To echo Sharkey, we do have very competent and through medical professionals on our coaching staff that would be glad to…

I am requesting that the BogDope team have some Swag(hoodies, Hats, shirts, etc made. I would certainly get a hoody! Or is that maybe what the Goodies section is for!?

@Johnoolo if you type “BogiDope” into Amazon, you can order a hoodie with our logo.
A little backstory: We experimented with offering merch through Amazon several years ago (2020ish), because they offered “print on demand” options (ie they handle all of the inventory and shipping). It seemed like a great idea, but we weren’t happy with… Read more

That sounds great! Thank you for the response, I have had very good results with PrintFul for a print on demand service. The turn around can take up to 10 days, However, I have ordered 50 or so shirts, hats, hoodies, mugs, etc. I have been pretty happy with the results. In my opinion as a customer BogiDope is really taking off as a social…

I am hoping to take this track, I know I will miss out on the fun of flying the T-6. However, every year T-1 instructors from Vance and Columbus visit my current base. I was able to spend a bunch of time talking with them and they encouraged me that the the T-1 only track for a heavy pilot is the way to go. They are confident in the…

This would have a huge impact on the Air Force. I would think it would solve a lot of the higher experience pilots jumping ship after their commitment for the airlines.

See ive heard that your still sort of a free agent and if you can get a fighter unit to sponsor you after selection and through UPT you can go there. It was explained to me as if you dont find a sponsor unit, you have to take the heavy or tanker unit you get. Someone whose been through this please chime in.

I would keep shooting for any possible options to get in. I was applying Guard, Reserve, and Active duty. I think East Coast would be tough if you are not sponsored if you get in. However, I have 0 knowledge to stand on when I say this. I would just pick a few key locations and then keep visiting. Then when your selected by them – great. Or if…

MilRecruiter has a list of all the selects for AFRC for the last few years. They have quarterly boards, it seems like every quarter has about two selects. One of them I cant remember which had a bunch of unsponsored selects. Honestly, I think this is a good way to get your foot in the door. Your essentially a free agent that a unit is not…
