    Chainsaw,

    Great thread! It’s super beneficial to make connections during rush events. While you all are competing for the same job, collaboration is still the key to success. I still talk to some of the bros I met at rush events back when I was on the circuit. Learn from each other, share ideas, costs, etc! Say hi to the bros in Nola for me.

    Cheers!

  • Another win for the BogiDope community! Congrats to Andres @AMugica, who teamed up with us for some interview prep.

  • I’ve received a couple of questions on how to get in contact with units for rushing purposes, general info, etc. One of the best places to start is the squadron map at MilRecruiter: https://app.milrecruiter.com/squadrons. Most likely, squadrons with active boards will post current POC info directly on their squadron page. If the unit…

    Hey Colton, awesome to see you’re grinding away at the AFOQT. 90’s is definitely what you should be if striving for fighter units. While the pilot score is traditionally the most important, I’ve heard that some squadrons also heavily weigh all of the categories when selecting interviewees. Make sure you put your best foot forward and study, study, study!

    Ryan,

    Great thread! I think it’s important not to forget to be yourself when you start to rush units. While it’s natural to ask questions about mission, aircraft, etc. Don’t downplay the power of small talk. A simple convo about the local pro sports team, hobbies, family, etc., can go a long way in humanizing you and making you likable, which…

    Awesome advice Gunboss! A plug to all: Don’t leave any stone unturned when studying for these tests. There is a plethora of study tools and you don’t want a low score to hold you back from your dream job.

    Cheers!

  • I wanted to give a shout-out to two of my clients who recently both retested and raised their AFOQT Pilot to 99! One was already an alternate selection at JAX, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store for both.

    Again, an emphasis on keeping your nose to the grindstone when it comes to these tests. Fighter units are really looking…

  • Future Fighter Pilots of BogiDope,

    I wanted to share a little insight with those getting started in the UPT process and looking at Guard/ Reserve Fighter Units.

    I usually brief the following key benchmarks to shoot for as you build your application:

    -90+ AFOQT Pilot/ PCSM

    -PPL w/ 60+ Hours (Minimum)

    -3.0 or higher College GPA


    While there is no…

    • Hey chaos thanks for the insight! I’m 99 Pilot, 97 PCSM, 240hours and 2.4 GPA, would I still be competitive?

    Elodie,

    Thanks for sharing your story! That’s quite the resume. If you haven’t already, I recommend starting to study for the AFOQT/ TBAS ASAP. Getting 90s on those tests is hugely beneficial to your chances of landing a UPT slot. Looking forward to tracking your progress!

    Cheers.
