Hello everyone! I was selected for a pilot slot on the most recent active duty board and wanted to share some stats that I have for anyone who’s interested.

I don’t know how many people applied, but there are 82 people in a group chat of all the rated selects (Pilot, CSO, AMB, & RPA) and 49 in a group chat of the pilot selects, so I’d…

If one wanted to enlist in a unit (as a crew chief for example), do you still need to take the ASVAB if you’ve already graduated from college and took the AFOQT?

25 years old to be considered?

A couple of sources have indicated that one fighter unit is not considering applicates who will be older than 27 when UPT starts. So that would be about 25 at the interview.

First off….we’ll see. Its hard for a <25 year old to have a competitive PCSM and resume so that rule might become more of a guideline.

Second,…

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Clinton, I’m in the MQ-9 pilot training pipeline (currently in IQT) and a former enlisted Security Forces (~10 years). I can answer any questions you have regarding what it took me to get selected and what OTS, RIQ/RFC, and IQT are like (or anything else you have a question about).

Reply to Dogs during UPT

Yes you can live with dogs. I can only speak for Vance, but you could either get an apartment off base or apply to live in base housing. On base housing they will charge you BAH w/dependent rate.

Dogs during UPT

Howdy,

I got two dogs. I would like to know if anyone has gone through UPT with pups and what the housing options are. Thank you.

Best,

Tankers are the backbone to keeping the fight at the enemies doorstep! In any large exercise or scenario all aircraft types need gas to perform the J.O.B. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to tank off KC-10s, KC-135s, and the KC-46. For those of you looking to get into the tanker community, unfortunately you’ll never set foot in the…

Hey Ben, I have been working with a guard unit and currently waiting on a flight board in March. The guard unit seems to be more of who you know than quality of applicant. Someone recently told me to look into the reserves but I don’t know much about it and my local active/reserve recruiter has reputation of not fulfilling what he promises. I…
