How did you get fighters? Was it doing well at UPT?
Nope, haven't actually started UPT yet. Getting sponsored by a fighter squadron actually pushed my dates back to align me with a 38 slot. I just made whatever connections I could, put in an app anywhere that would accept one, cold called and emailed random squadrons, rushed everywhere I could, etc.. lots of time and effort, but the real work hasn't even started. Super stoked for everything to come!
I do know some studs that have been on the unsponsored path and made it into a fighter mid T-6s though. For those dudes, it was mainly performance and persistence based.

Unsponsored is an AFRC thing, so it only applies to the Reserves. Also from what I’ve heard it’s hypothetically possible for an unsponsored candidate to go to a fighter unit, it’s just rare.
Also was unsponsored with no high up connections; I will be heading to fighters. It's not common, but with good timing, luck, and a lot of hard work it is possible.

It has definitely been an interesting start, but I am super stoked to be where I am at now!

H_G Do you have any information on getting into the Guard/Reserves during ROTC? I just started the Aviation Technology program at my school and I've been searching for info on how to do it.
I recently commissioned out of AFROTC into the Reserve and am in the process of transitioning to the Guard. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Same boat here. The email said to expect an email within the next week if invited to interview so I'm guessing it's a no go for me.
The 144th sent out a formal email today for those interviewing and gave us a call yesterday for any others wondering. Good luck everyone interviewing!

Update on the 144th/194th, board is being pushed to June with notifications mid-May, probably.
