Reality check or words of encouragement?
"The world is your oyster my friend, until you stop believing in yourself." - (Biff_T, 22) There are going to be several paths to go down. Pick what works best for you. I did the enlisted first OTS route. I don't recommend that path, especially, if you have your degree. A few recommendations: 1. Get your CFI or CFII. Get hours teaching. Apply to OTS for pilot slot. You will do better than most in your class. My friend did this and he flew F-15Cs and F-22s. 2. Get your CFI or CFII. Get hours. Apply to airlines. While flying for the airlines, apply to OTS (if you really want to 😄. But in all seriousness, I had a friend who did this and flew C-17s. 3. Apply to an airline with a cadet program. They will make you a regional pilot. Fly and apply. This is a trend on purpose. 4. There are way more options than these but I know for a fact these guys made it. Regardless what you do, keep applying to guard and reserve units. They don't know you're there if you don't tell them.

At the moment there is no need to mask your butt. However, this may change in the near future. Unitl further notice. The CDC recommends wearing a butt plug and maintaining at least six inches of social distancing when engaging in butt love.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

I truly hope that Crappy’s gets a chapter dedicated to it.- CSAR-X

AFSOC still has a say in what airframes they need and if they truly wanted to keep the rotary mission they would have helicopters. This whole situation seems like a ploy to steal HH-60’s from ACC in order to trade them for more CV-22’s with the intent of eventually dropping the 60’s from its inventory.- CSAR-X
And they agreed to leave.- CSAR-X
No more 53’s and the 6 SOS got rid of its rotary mission. What will AFSOC do with all those 60’s? I could have sworn that they wanted out of the rotary world.- Pilot Life and raising a family
It’s possible, but you will probably need some sort of restraint….maybe duck tape or a burlap sack?- US KC-135 Down - Kyrgyzstan

I spent 10 years enlisted (sheet metal/boom operator) and thought that I would destroy the non-priors when I walked into UPT, I was wrong! Flying an aircraft is harder than it looks. The quote mentioned above is right on point. UPT is a place where you can't ###### around. The competition is fierce and no one gives a ###### about what you did before.... Do your best and hope the cards line up in your favor!- Strike Eagle down, one KIA
