Hello everyone. I’m new here. Wanted to jump on here for some advice on applying to UPT for the Airforce Reserves.
I am currently 29 years old. I served 6 years in the Army Reserves as a HUMVEE mechanic back in the day (18-24 years old). I did this while completing a bachelors in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University…

Did the MilRecruiter analytics page just get real wacky, or did USAFA cadets have an application-athon?
Looks to me like overnight, every single non-rpa squadron had over a hundred applicants from Colorado, and they all have amazing PCSMs and AFOQT pilot scores. My own humble 98 on the AFOQT is now in the single digits percentile for almost…

@henry-carlson I just forwarded your comment to the developers to investigate. I’ll follow up here as soon as I hear back.

@henry-carlson we were able to track down issue and fix the analytics. It should be accurate now, but please let me know if anything else weird ever pops up.

A midnight pardon for the warthog!
It appears the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) has given the A-10 a stay of execution. This year’s original funding bill zeroed out the hawg in 2026, but the SASC has put the A-10 back in (along with some E-7 and F-35s).
FWIW this is part of the 15-year saga within the USAF. Do we keep the jets we have…

Reply to Will IPT replacing IFT change Guard/Reserve hiring?
I concur that PPL will still be an important discriminator in guard/reserve hiring. While not an outright requirement, the level of competition makes it tough (but not impossible) to be successful without.
Also, as a former squadron hiring guy, the PPL demonstrates that you can 1) solo and not hurt yourself 2) not get so airsick that you can’t…

The ability to power project through air refueling is one of our military’s greatest strengths. With a little planning (and enough tankers!) we can project power to nearly anywhere on the planet. As a guy that took a 4 year break from military flying mid-career, I can attest that air refueling skills are “perishable” skills and important to…

The US still holds strong as the highest aircraft carriers in operation. We have pretty much 5x the amount of any country as they struggle to replicate our capabilities. Russia has taken a step backwards with their carrier adding to the US security. This is a bigger deal to all than most think as maritime is becoming a bigger role in the…
