What Are My Chances?

Hello, I'd like to get some perspective from you guys, I'll list what I got while still trying to maintain my anonymity. My current approach isn't working so I'm turning to the internet for some constructive criticism, i'm sure there's no shortage here. Age: 24 I'm currently enlisted in the guard (E-4) I have my PPL with only about 69 hours GPA 3.3 in History PCSM 75 (would be 87 with 201+ hrs if anybody cares) AFOQT 90/80/40/60/30 (or something like that) I got a couple decent LOR's one from my commander and one from my flight instructor volunteer fire fighter In college I was on a few club teams and I tutored history. I know I need to re-take those…

My dad was a KC-135 nav and I've always dreamed of flying. I've fluctuated in seriousness but now that I'm a year away from graduating,(Dec 2017) I've decided to go all in for it. I've gotten in contact with a recruiter. I want to apply 17 January (I really should have started sooner. More on that later.) Age: 23 Education: Associate's in Automotive Maintenance. Currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science. Cumulative GPA: 3.56, likely to be a 3.60 or higher at the end of this semester, if I don't bomb any finals I'll have all A's this semester. No criminal record. I had some problems in school as a kid, but since high school I've been fine. No fli…

I am 28, applying to as many ANG UPT boards as possible. TBAS 57, 82 Flight Hours with PPL. AFOQT 78 pilot GPA 3.35 BS in Global Business, Arizona State. Looking C130 units or KC135. What are my chances?

I just applied to my first squadron, and I'd like to know how you guys think I stack up. Here are the numbers: GPA: 3.75 AFOQT: 92/77/50/60/43 PCSM: 67 Flight Hours: 27 Age: 28 LORs: 3; from current and former AF officers Obviously I need to get more flight hours and get that PCSM up. Flying and graduating college are my top priorities right now. I expect to have my PPL by the end of the year, and about 80 hours around that same time. I will continue to build hours until I get picked up by a unit. I know I'm cutting it close with my age; I'm going to keep pushing until I get hired. Thanks everyone.

Hello Baseops, I was trying to get a feel for what a decent PCSM score looks like in the current Reserve/ANG hiring environment. AFOQT 75 for both Pilot and Nav, 127 or so hours flying time (have PPL, some XC time built up and 1/4 of the way through instrument training; working towards CSEL rating and maybe becoming a CFI while I work to get selected by a squadron and get to go to UPT). Current PCSM 69; I have another chance to take the AFOQT and I think I can raise it if I get some math tutoring help...I was able to find information about previous years on some forums somewhere and as I recall the median PCSM score for people selected for UPT in FY 16 or 17 was som…

I’ve been enlisted at my guard unit for 12 years all of it being spent in OPS. Starting at the end of last year it was asked why I hadn’t yet applied for a UPT slot. The simple answer was I had never flown an airplane and having seen some of the apps come through figured I didn’t think I would have much of a chance. As the weeks went on more pilots made reference to me potentially applying and thinking it was a good idea. I guess me being a generally good dude and always trying to help does indeed pay off. All these happenings and other talks now have me about to start my PPL and get that shit knocked out prior to our next board. While I’m not guaranteed a slo…

My AFOQT scores are as follows: 84 Pilot, 85 Nav, 67 Acad Apt, 62 Verbal, 67 Quant I don't have a PCSM score yet, but I also have no flight hours. I will be taking the TBAS beginning of June, and I hear without flight hours, the best you can do on a PCSM score is 70. So other things being constant, and considering my pilot score, if I ace the TBAS, the best I could feasibly do is about a 64 PCSM, give or take. GPA: Currently 3.38, but I'm projecting close to a 3.5 by graduation in end of August, with a B.A.A.S. in Technical Management I am 34 years old, I'm also an enlisted E-5, have close to 6 years active, and another 5 reserve/guard, been an F-16 A…

Hey all. First post but long time user of these forums. Age: 28 Degrees : B.S - Aviation Administration 3.6 Engineering - Computer Science 3.6 AFOQT: 87 Pilot, 41 Nav, 41 Acad Apt, 40 Verbal, 44 Quant PCSM : 95 PPL w/ 102 flt hours LORs : 1)Flight Instructor, 2)Officer Selection Officer for Marine Officer Candidate School, 3)Current Boss/CEO Spent some time in AFROTC. A Former Marine Corps Officer Candidate School candidate with Naval Aviator Contract. While at OCS I was informed I was medically disqualified from the Jet pipeline. It was jets or nothing for me back in the day, so I left to pursue civilian dream of prog…

Going for FY19 AD UFT boards. (New due date 26 October 18) I obtained my ppl before starting my degree, took TBAS about 2 years after. Graduated after 4 years and commissioned into active. Wondering if it's worth the risk to try the TBAS again after 1 year on active to strengthen my package. Don't think it's worth it to try the AFOQT again especially since I haven't flown in quite some time. My scores are below, would love to hear your thoughts! AFOQT Pilot: 78 PCSM: 68 (72 with +1 flt hr) w/ PPL Previous years' aggregate data: https://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2018_04/IMG_3562.JPG.27 Not sure why ppl scores are so low com…

To whom it may concern: I am requesting the feedback of my package from the peanut gallery. I am dead set on fighters at this point, no one has been able to change my mind. Here are my scores: Age: 23 College: Phoenix University Major: History GPA: 2.16 P74 N98 AA21 V17 Q25 PCSM: 28 Flight Certificates: PPL w/ 102 hours I am currently working at Home Depot as a loadmaster. Making hella good money, but I'm dead set on chasing the dream for fighters now. I've already taken the AFOQT 3 times, and the TBAS 2 times, these were my best scores. I've heard worst have gotten fighter slots. I've been told my navigato…

I've posted before, civilian with a decent shot that is applying to the 910 AW (local). I've got some good networking / seem to be liked there, but they could have an enlisted guy who's been waiting to go or someone otherwise more qualified than me so I'm not getting my hopes up. As for my preferences, the general A10 mission is my favorite but I doubt I'm competitive enough to apply to a base like the 122 FW. The 910 AW is top pick for me considering their unique mission and the fact that its local. I don't care about fighters much, but maybe because I'm not taking into account close air support missions. After that, I guess beggars shouldn't be choosers. Right now…

Hey guys and gals. I’m a prior service army dude looking to convince someone in the Air Force Guard or Reserves to pick me up and send me to UPT. Big preference on fighters, however, I’d be happy flying a cardboard box so I’m open to heavy’s or anything else except UAS. I’ve had my fair share of deployments so if I could return to war in something designed to fight, I’d be pretty stoked. So to keep it as brief as possible, here’s a quick synopsis of my current qualifications: PCSM – 98 AFOQT – Pilot 99 / Nav 97 / Acad 66 / Verbal 76 / Quant 52 Flight Experience – I have over 3500 hours in 23 different aircraft that include anything from military helicopters to…

Hi everyone, So here’s what I got: AFOQT Scores: Pilot 99/ Nav 93/ AA 98/ Verbal 94/ Quant 97 PCSM: 66 with 39 flights hours (87 @ 201 hrs) Additionally, I am 25 year old mechanical engineering grad with a 3.2 GPA, working for a large aerospace company. I would really like to try to go for fighters on the reserve/guard side but I feel my pcsm is abysmal for that. I plan on re-taking my TBAS (as my first time taking it I was coming in on very little sleep after a long flight the night before.) honestly how do my chances look? And if not for guard, what about for an AD pilot slot? thanks for the input everyone!

I left the Air Force (enlisted) to become a pilot and as soon as I got commercial/multi Corona hit. I'd love to be a part of the Guard/Reserve but I'm still finishing my degree and I'm 'old'. Do I even have a chance at this point? Thanks for any guidance.

Hello, I’m a 23 year old TSgt crew chief at a fighter unit. pilot-86, Nav- 65, AA- 30, V- 52, Q- 16 PCSM-91, with 102hrs and instrument rating 3.1 GPA and a business degree. The AFOQT quantitative score is pretty ugly, but other than that I feel like I’m fairly competitive. Have been on many deployments with lots of experience. Would like some input. Thanks

Hello everyone, I am 18 years old and I am currently working on my bachelor's in aviation (79 credits completed).

Hello all, I applied for the AD 2021 UFT board and got RPA. I was going for pilot, but was selected for URT. If I decline URT it will disqualify me from ever applying to UFT again due to my age waiver I received for the board. Does that mean if I declined and tried for a guard Upt slot that I would be disqualified as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Officially getting honorable discharge in Aug with 9 years of service, last 4 as an O-3 AFOQT: 89/82/66/86/44 PCSM: 96 31 Years old 2,800TT (only 130 in helos, the rest is all Multi-turbine fixed wing) Currently narrow body FO at a legacy airline. Have flown regional and fractional as well in the past. Only 1 unsat maneuver in a mil proficiency ride over 4 years ago, otherwise clean training record. Really hoping to push the angle that since I am fully established in my civilian career, I can put it to the side to just build seniority fully dedicate myself to the Guard. Also, coming in as a senior …

I posted over a year and a half ago and after many delays I have more things to show but do want to gauge where I stand in all this. Goal: F15 Unit. I think I'd also find enjoyment with an F22 unit but there are a small handful of these on the Guard & Reserve side combined. I've also given some thought on to applying for a C-17 unit (heavy) or a UH-60 unit (rotor).

Good Day Everyone, I am currently awaiting the 16OT04 Rated board which is meeting today. I am hoping to get a pilot slot.
