Deployments are always a hot topic when discussing your career in the military. There are many different lengths of anywhere from 3months to 18months. Don’t worry in the Guard and Reserve right now the cycle is for a 3 month deployment. There are talks of adjusting to model closer to AD but we’ll see what happens. Here is an article that talks…

Kendall: ‘One Size Doesn't Fit All’ for Deployment Cycles
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David A. Flosi discussed deployment cycles and units of action.
JSampson, Hoff and C.J.2 Comments
Solid read. The Navy is battling a similar issue, but instead of deploying individual units, we are often times forced to deploy individual ships due to a back-log of maintenance on other ships in theater. Specifically in forward deployed squadrons like Japan and Rota, it forces operators and sailors to be “on-call” for deployments, sometimes…

A lot of changes coming to the deployment schedules as well. I know on the Active Duty (AD) side, Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) is aligning Vulnerable to Move List (VML) with Air Force Generation (AFFORGEN) cycles. Big words I know, but what it means in layman’s terms is that AD is trying to time member’s PCS moves with deployments so…

I’ll be 32 in October and I was just hired and I’ll make the cut off before an age waiver is required. If you want it bad enough, “no” is never an answer. If not, there’s thousands others waiting to take the golden ticket. If it’s what you want, go for it and don’t look back 🙂

This article on the F-47 design gave me a good laugh today. It has been entertaining listening to all the pundits talk about specific design features of the NGAD all based on false images designed to hide the aircraft’s true design.
Anyway, hope one of you dudes actually gets a chance to fly one of these bad johners!

NGAD Images Doctored to Hide Most, If Not All, True Design Features
Official images of the F-47 NGAD fighter have been heavily doctored to prevent giving insight to adversaries.

Randy, I wouldn’t count yourself out. The above is just discussing the hurdles you have to overcome and the reality of age waivers. There are several boards open right now and you still have an opportunity to get selected by units. I would go in 112% on applying and have a good gameplan of how you can essentially explain to a unit why you being…

Thank you CAGE for the response, but I think I might have to just bite the bullet and accept the fact I might not make it as a military aviator.

Unfortunately, no — I left the USA right after high school and only hold a Master’s degree.
In the French academic system for engineering, the structure follows a 2+3 model: the first two years are purely preparatory for competitive entrance into a three-year graduate-level engineering school. As a result, students graduate directly with a…
