FoxtrotNovemberGolf Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Were the 9 of us that visited this past weekend so bad that you couldn't wait to repost? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk1313 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Easy, Tiger... Remember what they told you last weekend--never pass up the opportunity. I speak from experience. Edited February 13, 2017 by tk1313 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxtrotNovemberGolf Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So I guess I'm the only one who finds it hilarious (in a self-depricating way) that immediately after an applicant visit weekend the squadron makes a post looking for additional applicants (seemingly because they didn't like us). Obviously that's not the reality of the situation because the other 8 guys are great dudes who are going to be extremely competitive, but I made a joke. I'll keep my day job and hopefully you all can forgive my faux pas. I'm sorry. My flying is better than my joke making, I swear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more the lack of situational awareness or respect to be calling out the hiring board on a public forum shortly after they gave you a great opportunity to go visit with them. They may still be considering all options and you're kind of making an ass of yourself at the same time. Edited February 13, 2017 by bb17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, learn when to just stop. There are times (this being a prime example) where you just need to drop it and shut up for a bit. Regardless of the circumstances, it only makes things worse by trying to argue and defend yourself.

mb1685 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Maybe it would have been a better joke if the application due date wasn't over a month and a half away. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axc93 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I wonder how many UPT slots they're going to have this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor666 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Do you all have hiring boards for experienced pilots? Experienced 11Bs to be exact? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2017VTANGBOARD Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 All, Due to our current deployment we have reschedule our outreach event. This will now be held on April 1st and is for APPLICANTS ONLY. The event is not a requirement but is a good chance to meet the pilots in the squadron and see the local area. Hand carried applications will be accepted for this event only. Our website is currently being updated to reflect this change. Please email jeremy.t.devlin.mil@mail.mil to RSVP.
