Did you know the USAF flies Boeing 737s? The DC NG flies them as VIP special air missions. The jet is known in the USAF as the C-40 and is kitted out in an all business class set up.

Reply to Rated Heavy Pilot to fighter/bomber
@NJCS13 In our experience, what you’ve previously heard is accurate: fighter pilots can transfer to heavies easily, but not the other way around.

If any of you are struggling to reach a recruiter, here is another way to do that. Use the linked forms below to reach the Nationwide Call Center. I will place the link for each (Guard/Reserve/Active Duty). These individuals (contracted) may be better suited to get you to reach a local testing center for AFOQT or MEPS testing. Eventually you…
