Another good one for the shelf. Always good to know where you come from. The Lafayette Escadrille was the peak of volunteerism in a time of war. A note about the author: Tim Murphy is a lifetime Viper driver, and incredible combat leader. He led a squadron to CENTCOM at the height of ISIS and dropped more munitions than any F-16 unit in history.…

Bravest BogiDoper Contest
We have all experienced turbulence before. We have all flown into a storm that we probably shouldn’t have. But to have the Hurricane Hunters abort missions because of “severe turbulence”? I’m willing to bet nobody here has experienced anything close.
But the 53 WRS is an AFRC unit out of Biloxi, MS. Which BogiDoper wants…

Hey dude, I’m also a Navy SWO but at 3 1/2 year mark… I just took the AFOQT like 3 months ago, just got offered an interview for a squadron and a rush invite for another, it’s totally possible. From my understanding it isn’t uncommon to work conditional releases to go to UPT out of the Navy into Air guard. I’m also working hard to bail out…

New Guy Here
Hey guys! Anyone else having issues with the website working? Recently joined Bogidope, looking to improve my chances for a UPT slot. The Pilot Pathway keeps resetting me to the Welcome step, although I completed it.
My backstory is I am actively applying to squadrons. I’m also at the point where maybe I get my ME rating and 500+ hours and try…

I’ve had some issues with getting reset to a completed step on pilot pathway and blocked from the next one, but if you go to “courses” and search the pilot pathway course you’re trying to access it’ll let you in and will show completed on the pilot pathway when you’re done.

Non-Aviator Navy Officer to Pilot Applicant
Hello All,
Just looking for any advice in relation to the non-aviator AD Navy to ANG/AFRC Pilot path. For reference I’ve just recently passed my 6 year AD mark, I’m an O-3 Surface Warfare Officer at 28 yrs old and now that I’m on my shore duty I’m working toward trying to transition to a flying career that I am too far along in the officer…
matthew-katuzienskiReply to Online vs in person bachelors degree
Thumper,
The requisite required for officership and therefore a pilot job is a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university. There are 6 regional accreditation institutions (I think), and as long as your degree is from a university blessed by them it counts.
Couple things to consider: 1.) The most important part of your degree is unlikely to…

Hey guys, quick question.
long story short, I’m a nurse and on the older side of the scale. As of now I’m an LPN and I’m fast tracking my bachelors to be able to apply to an ANG unit.
my question is; do they typically weigh online bachelors as less than in person? Nursing is weird in that getting your associates can ONLY be done (usually) in…
