    The TBAS is and always has been a little bit more hard to prepare for. The Air Force does this purposefully as they try to keep the test somewhat secret. That said, nowadays, there are definitely good tools to prepare for the test, such as the video posted above. Here’s an additional link to help prepare for the directional SA (UAV) portion: https://www.proprofsflashcards.com/story.php?title=_36014

    Remember you can always take this test twice with a minimum of 90 days between takes.

    Hope this helps!

    WAZ,

    That form can be a bit confusing. The section that requires a witness will only be completed AFTER you have been selected. For application purposes, don’t worry about filling out that section. If you ever have a big question, asking around here is a great place to start! From there, you can always verify with the hiring POC that you are completing everything correctly.

    Cheers!

    Jaybird,

    Congrats on the interview; exciting times! How much time do you have before the interview? Are you located in close proximity to the unit? If so, it wouldn’t hurt to see if they allow visits beforehand. Any face time you can get before the interview may be invaluable. Also, I don’t know if you’ve perused the website, but the E-Course for interview prep is a phenomenal tool. Quick and easy words of wisdom are to be yourself, be confident, and try to have some fun.

    Always go with Dress Blues unless specifically told otherwise. The hiring POC is most likely referring to any changes to your already submitted Application. Think new test scores, new Letters of Rec., updated flying hours, etc. If you don’t have any major changes, I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Hope that answers some of your questions. Good luck!

    Eric,

    You wouldn’t be the first Guard/ Reserve Flyer to take the scenic route through college. My best advice is to rush, rush, and then rush some more. You can absolutely do this before you’re qualified. Trying to offset your weaknesses by padding your resume on paper pales in comparison to getting face time with the pilots, telling them your story, and building a relationship. Your best bet is to find a unit or two you can build a rapport with and convince them you’re worth a shot when the time comes.

    Lastly, turn in any and all Apps. The worst they can do is tell you no.

    Hope this helps!
