The patriot has been americas SAM for several decades and still does very good work; however the use of these systems, like the patriot, is slightly changing with threats today. As a pilot in today’s military you are far more likely to integrate with these systems than ever before. The JEZ (joint engagement zone) is a way flight systems can…

Reply to Active Duty - Navy OCS vs. Air Force OTS
I personally would have gone to Navy OCS if I had the chance, I’m 32 so that option is no longer viable for me to take since I’m already at the age limit to be a pilot.
Getting in touch with a recruiter on the Air Force side was difficult and a waste of time. If you are serious and want to fly in the military; go Navy. The Air Force has too…

False! False! False!
You can absolutely go P8s to ANG. In fact, you could probably walk right into the 201st airlift squadron (DV 737s in DC). With a short course, you could fly any ANG heavy.
Jump onto milrecruiter, check the box “hiring rated,” and start calling hiring POCs (pilots).
If there’s a unit you like that isn’t hiring, call them…
