Ever wonder whether a squadron has looked at your application? Now you can get notified when they do.

We’ve been working on new features to help you stay connected with squadrons and informed throughout the hiring process. They’re ready for you to test today:

  • Free members: Receive messages from squadrons you’ve applied to.
  • Job Board Only members: Follow squadrons for real-time job alerts, announcements, and updates.
  • Pro/Elite members: Follow squadrons and get notifications when your application is viewed, saved, or favorited.

Squadrons have been asking for an easier way to communicate with applicants. These tools should help hiring reps keep you informed—and give you more visibility into your application activity.

We’ll officially introduce these features to squadrons next week, but you get the first look. Click around, try them out, and let us know what you think!

BD Fam,

Check out this AF Times article on the recent displacement of Iron due to the threat of Hurricane Isaias.

If you end up scoring a job at one of the coastal units, don't be surprised if this is in your future. Often, it's all hands on deck to get the jets inland to safety as your home unit weathers the storm.

Cheers!

This is an interesting article on the flight testing process of the newest sixth-generation fighter. Supposed to be operational in the early 2030s. Some of you will likely fly this jet one day.

So I spent the majority of my day prepping and flying an 8v8 DCA (Defensive Counter Air) sortie today. The most debated thing during the debrief wasn’t whether or not the strikers made it to Mission Fail Line ironically, it was whether Darth Vader was actually in the original Top Gun. It became such a contentious and debated topic that following the actual debrief, the entire Red and Blue Air 8-ships went to the bar and put Top Gun on to watch this exact scene. Turns out- Darth Vader does make an appearance immediately following the “loving feeling” ballad. Pay close attention or you’ll miss it.

I know I've hardly ever posted here but I thought I'd share a heck of an update! After so long of chasing this dream and many blood sweat and tears I have finally been selected for command sponsor in the AFRC program!

After so many years of consistent study, hard work, and relentless pursuit, fighting doubt and so many things, I actually got selected! I don't yet know what I'm gonna fly and I'm yet to go to training, so the journey has only just begun! But wait, patience and everything else was worth it!

Finally been selected!

Join me tonight (Oct 6th) @7:30pm EST to practice your interview strategies and techniques!

BD Fam,

Check out this AF Times article on the unfortunate realities and threats facing the Air Force in this volatile environment.

On the good news front... distance shouldn't change the awesome reach of Big Blue, and while it may be a longer sortie, nothing can stop the awesome capabilities of Global Strike Command!

Cheers!
