Gonna shoot for the 158th in Savannah to break the ice. Tricky thing about my situation is that I'm currently AD assigned to Andersen AFB in Guam so I'm not sure how that's gonna work with my DEROS. If anyone has any insight on the 158th, it would be much appreciated. PM me. Long time ANG C-130 Nav with lots of insights on how the hiring process goes for fully qualified bubbas.

The post you commented on meant recognition so when they show you a picture of an aircraft at the interview you should be able to state what aircraft it is.

So, you may not want to waste too many brain bytes on it but it still will be a good thing to work on as you proceed into your budding AF career. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for the Missouri B-2s they just had a UPT board but it was open to only for folks who were currently in the Missouri Air National Guard. The POC said they occasionally will recruit UPT from the outside but it depends on the year. Hope this helps some folks. For you young Bomber wannabee pilots, I suggest scratching the B-1 off the list. It is on the retirement chopping block. Not a done deal but I wouldn't go to Vegas or even Atlantic City and put any money on any future new Reserve B-1 pilots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know an ANG pilot who got a VC-### (737) position at Andrews recently so probably has the inside scoop on who they look for. Likely only current Rated bubbas need apply (he was long time 130 guy who was at NGB on staff for awhile). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I understood things correctly after last weekend, interview notifications may go out a bit later than the given date (today) but the board dates (April) will remain unchanged.

Nova1976 8 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I just rushed Tulsa this past weekend. They plan on notifying interview selectees the first weekend of march due to the email address mix up. Board is still planned to be in April. If anything, calling the squadron and talking to a pilot is usually the best source of accurate info. 2 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeeyee 2 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 For those of you applying to the 115th Airlift Squadron out of Point Mugu, CA, do we include official sealed transcripts with the mailed in application? Their flyer states this, "Sealed Official College Transcripts Unofficial copies placed inside application package" Obviously for the E-mailed application, the only choice is placing unofficial copies, but I'm confused for the mailed app. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
