Good morning and thanks for the post. This is a great question; because once the “requirements” have been met it feels a little helpless, like there’s nothing left to do.

You have a great starting point with scores, experience, and a security clearance. My recommendation now is to focus on your “achievements and other activities” that usually…

I talked to a buddy of mine who was an ROTC detachment commander he told me about a program called the Air Force ROTC Reserve Selection Board (RSSB). Usually you are eligible to apply during your junior year for the RSSB. They select 25 ROTC candidates throughout the country for this program. Once you are picked for the RSSB you need to…

I personally went through ROTC and there is a program between your sophomore and junior year where you can get released from AD and pick up a reserve pilot training spot. If you already had a unit lined up, you’d likely get approved in that program. I also had a guy in UPT with me who graduated ROTC with a different rated job. He was picked…

If you’ve been curious about the changes from the Department of Defense (DOD) to the Department of War (DOW) this article talks about the historical piece of it and what it means to us today.

What’s in a Name? DoD vs. DoW — And Why It Matters More Than You Think

When workers at the Pentagon quietly removed “Department of Defense” plaques and replaced them with new bronze signs reading “Department of War,” the reaction was immediate. Photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth installing a 60-pound “Department of War” plaque spread … Continue reading

I have not. They probably have a lot of applications to go through, so I’m assuming sometime this month they’ll contact about interviews.

Just saw this on the Youtube. Was wondering what the future of military aviation is going to look like, if anybody has an opinion on it. Kind of scary we are living in the future now.

My buddy just interviewed with them on the 29th of September, with more the following day. My only connections are to the 199th, so the other HIANG squadrons might do it differently in terms of visiting. The only “Invite rush” they do is for the 10 people they sponsor to the larger hiring board right before interviews. If you get in touch with a…

Wild stuff going on in Poland. Russian drone incursions have placed the Polish Air Force squarely in the counter-UAS game along with much of NATO. Of note to the BD community, and outside of the greater NATO Article 4 and 5 implications, this is a data point on one of the most likely mission sets that future BD members will partake in.

For me, using the mobile site was better than using the app because it was faster and has the same functionality as the desktop version. I think it would better to focus time and resources on something else since the app isn’t really needed.

Great video all about current U-2 operations. As a reconnaissance platform, the U-2 is still quietly doing a good amount of the US operational and strategic intel collection. But it also has game in the tactical world as well. In Korea, we would pretty routinely work with the U-2 folks in tactical scenarios and kill chain processing.

Hey there,

Currently a 3F2 working in base training at the 165th in Savannah Ga. If you need any help with getting things scheduled, you can always reach out to me. I can walk you through it and possibly point you in the direction of some people that may be close to your location.
