[TBiagi]

Hello everyone, my name’s Tyler. I am an ammo troop with the Maryland Air Guard. I’ve always had an interest in flying but was a late starter with college. I just graduated with my B.S. and start toward my PPL on January 1st. I turned 29 in October so I have a bit of a fight against time as well. Here’s the kicker, I deploy in March, so my goal is to build up as many hours as I can, study for/take the AFOQT, take the TBAS and do my best to build as competitive of a package as I can prior to leaving to hopefully start sending in applications. I have a solid list of references helping me out including my group commander (also a current A-10 pilot), my Chief, and others.

If anyone has any advice that may help out along the way, it would be greatly appreciated!

Look forward to the process and thank you all!
