Apply! Apply now! Like right now go get a PCSM and apply.
Clearly you are a smart guy (I am not so afflicted), so I think you’ll get a great AFOQT score right out of the gate. That + TBAS + flight hours and we’re can start shopping you around
I would advise against waiting because I think you might be overvalueing work experience over youth. …

Don’t wait for perfect!
Sometime perfect is the enemy of good in this process; especially if perfect is going to delay your application.
Consider:
1) You will not get picked up if you didn’t apply
2) Age is genearlly not an asset
3) You don’t know who’s going to apply to any particular board
4) Despite you best effort that first…

Is it true that the National Guard is willing to process vision waivers?
I was in the process for applying to the Army Reserve but, upon learning my vision (2.00 ish) would be out of regulation with the army’s 1.50 myopia requirement, I was told it was not waiverable and would need LASIK/PRK.

I see nothing wrong with, while working, polishing yourself up to be the best applicant you can be. The test pilot aspiration is really cool! Something someone like me who was a bit of a bum…

I see. Thank you for the explanation and analogy. You have helped shift my perspective on the matter. I don’t think I will look at joining the AF Reserves in a non-flying role as it is apparent that it could interrupt my professional career and possibly deter me from transitioning into a pilot slot later on.
The immutable reality of my current…

This all being said, nothing wrong with your plan of waiting a few years to apply. It is the simple fact that there is the risk associated in delaying which is in tension with the fact that, when applying to fighters, the younger you start, the better. Due to the nature of hiring, you could wait a few years and then there could be a…
