Reply to Letters of Recommendation from Foreign Nationals
Hey dude, I don’t think a letter of recommendation from a foreign national is an issue. It might even stand out in the crowd of applications. I was recently picked up by a hiring board and 2 of my 3 letters of recommendation were written by foreign nationals (one was a CFI with British military experience, and the other was a sports coach…

Bonuses! Something that is thrown around a lot when joining the military. Some enlistment bonuses in the Guard/Res are up to $90k! However as a UPT candidate you shouldn’t expect a bonus. When you put on your wings your 10 year commitment starts and the man’s got ya! After that 10 year is complete then you become bonus eligible. What the bonus…

We talk a lot about UPT and B-course and what to expect but there is other required training USAF pilots go through.

The loss of potential wedge tails is a big deal to military aviators. E-3s have been around since the 80’s and you can only upgrade so much before the capacity no longer can handle it. Imagine trying to support playing a PS5 game on a PS1 you merged with some components from a PS3 and PS4. This doesn’t bode well for us moving into this world…

UPT Phone Interview
What’s up guys,
Got an invite yesterday from MNANG for a phone interview on the 17th of this month. Kinda stressing since the first interview is so soon after the invite. Has anyone here done a phone interview for a squadron? If so, what kind of questions do they typically ask? The email stated it will only be 10-15 mins, and if all goes well…

You can expect some questions that you’d typically be asked by a standard interview board but as well I’ve heard that the phone interview can also consist of questions like “what’s a…
