Thank you for your guidance! After going through the pros and cons you mentioned, I realize that I’m really focused on becoming a pilot in the Air Force Reserve and/ or airline. I’m not very interested in exploring enlisted roles since the benefits seem limited—mainly just the chance to bond with the unit—and I’m not guaranteed a pilot…

Stuti,
Thanks for your post! I see you’re already in the Army Guard so is your intent with going into the AFR to help align your goals with getting a pilot slot? I am assuming so.

Obviously, the UPT landscape is highly fluid at this point. The best thing for all of you future STUDs is to remain flexible and ready to crush whatever syllabus they put in front of you.
Welcome to the Air Force! lol
Just keep your cranium down, grind it out, and look forward to the smell of JP-8 in the morning in a short couple of years!

Cage,
I was wondering if i’d find anyone on here that has direct experience on a hiring board, or sponsoring an age waiver – so your comment stood out! I’m 32, just started my PPL and study prep for exams. Seems there are a handful of others pressed on time in similar “late bloomer” situations. After rushing my 1st unit, I have a…
