Never to early to apply, edward! Getting your name and intent out there is the best thing for you or anyone else looking to get a UPT slot!
Things usually work out for a reason!
Best of luck to you! Let us know how we can help going forward!

Reply to UPT With Past Flying Experience
For those with prior flying experience, my advice to you is keep an open mind. It is tough to change your mindset, but the UPT syllabus is meant to teach people with little to no experience how to fly complex aircraft.
Trust the process and stay positive! (easier said then done, I know!)

hey Edward, I just finished talking about this with one of the pilots from my squadron. he told me that its always good to apply young, and you can even do it your senior year in college. like CAGE stated, getting that letter or a copy of your transcripts showing them that you’re on track to get your bachelors will suffice.

CAGE replied to the discussion Age Limit in the forum General Discussion 11 months ago
Cody,
As far as age goes, it’s just a number. You can get hired at a unit at 24 or you can get hired at 31. I’ve seen and been a part of boards hiring people. Most important thing is to be all in because you have such a shorter window than most. You’ll have to sell yourself to units why your age isn’t a factor they need to think about. As I tell…

A good peek into the future of what some of you may be flying with on your MDS. Yes it is on a ship, but it could lead the way for hypersonics research.

Hi Edward,
Based off of everything in the current climate it is never too early to apply. I would highly recommend applying when and where you can for what MDS/career you want. One way to help out, and some units require it, if you don’t have a degree yet get a memo written and have your college advisor or dean sign it saying you have intent to…

Reply to Congress Asks ICAO to Increase Pilot Retirement Age
I feel like the other option is that guys would still jump ship but the regionals might be a thing again… I just don’t think life in the Air Force is good enough to stick around, even if the prospects on the outside aren’t as good. I think the AF always thinks money is the big thing preventing people from staying, but I think the biggest…

Hi everyone to keep this short and sweet, I’m working on 3 associates degrees and in my last semester for degrees in Pilot, ATC, and firefighting. I’m looking to finish my bachelors degree in 20 months from now. Is it too early to start applying, I’ve seen people say apply as a junior or senior but that’s all for active and stuff. I’m not…
