@Jag Welcome to BogiDope! I got bit by the aviation bug a little later than some too, so it’s definitely not too late to make that dream into a reality.

Let us know how we can help. Good luck!

@jared-johnson Impressive background minus one major red flag – you went to UF 🤮 (I’m an FSU guy)!

What kind of missions do you do as an Army diver?

Welcome to BogiDope!

@KGQ Congrats on the Navy pilot slot! Not a bad backup option if the Guard/Reserve gig doesn’t pan out quickly enough.

What’s your deadline for being selected before you’re committed to the Navy? Your resume and test scores are great, but you definitely need a least some flight time to display an aptitude/interest in flying. Apply to as…

@TStephens34 Nothing faster than a winter preflight walkaround in Grand Forks. Great school.

Congrats on the AFRC slot! There’s a trend developing on this welcome board. AFRC is doing a great job of stealing AFROTC cadets away from active duty (Equivalent of the college sports transfer portal in military recruiting!). That’s awesome.

@Kyle Apparently the secret is out on the AFROTC to Guard/Reserve path. Congrats!

Glad to hear the medical consult went well. They do a great job.

Congrats again and welcome to BogiDope!

What seem to be the common drops recently at assignment night?

I’m sure there are a lot people interested in…

@A_Foster Welcome to BogiDope and congrats on the AFRC pilot slot! I think you might be the third person in this thread who has gone down that path from the AFROTC, so it appears it’s starting to grow in popularity.

Which AFRC fighter squadrons/airframes are you focusing on? Unfortunately, there aren’t as many fighter squadrons in AFRC as in…

@Duck Welcome to BogiDope! I’m guessing by “hiring events” you mean the job board? If you click on Military Jobs under the Job Board tab on the main menu, you’ll see a list of all Guard/Reserve pilot jobs submitted to MilRecruiter.com (where squadrons post jobs and collect applications). MilRecruiter and BogiDope auto sync every 24 hours,…

@Chase Welcome to BogiDope! Being an engineer and fighter pilot in the Guard is totally doable, especially if your Guard unit is in the same city.

You will have to go on military leave from your job for approximately 4ish years as you go to flight school and complete your “seasoning days” back at the squadron that hired you (your civilian job…

@Falcon First, the obvious question…is that really your middle name? There has to be a good story behind that. Do tell.

Congrats on the scholarship! That’s incredible. I’m sure there are tons of people on BogiDope that would be very interested to know how to get some of their flight training paid for, so if you have any info/lessons…
