Pile on from CAGE post below but here is one such example of the AF expanding missions. Several years ago Eglin AFB lost its WSEP mission which was disappointing to everyone who loved spending their days shooting boats and their evenings on the Destin Harbor Boardwalk. But since the arrival of the F35 at Eglin, the mission is expanding once…

Hi all,
Do squadrons care about your scores on the AFOQT that DON’T apply to your pilot score? I have only studied math knowledge, table reading, instrument comprehension, block counting and aviation info cause those are the only sections counting to my pilot score.
Wanted to make sure they do not look down on that/only care about pilot scores as…

@hammer8 Great question! The Pilot score is undoubtedly the most crucial score. (The golden rule is to try and get a 90+.) Most squadrons heavily weigh it when selecting interviews, and it goes into the PCSM equation.

For the board that convened last October, we got results in December and most of the AF enlisted guys are going to OTS in July. I think the civilian applicants are a bit more varied, but will be going a month or so later.
