Glad to hear the pilot got out and sounds alright. Hope no-one was in that warehouse.
Looks like it belonged to the 114th FW SDANG.

That video was tough to watch.

Damn, I grew up in Newburgh next to Stewart ANGB and watching those Herks and (at the time) C-5's fly over helped inspire me to join the military and want to become a pilot. Truly a sad day. To those that were lost, as well as their families and friends

Units typically post hiring announcements under the Career tab on their website (eg http://www.148fw.ang.af.mil/careers/). Good luck.

South Dakota 114th FW is beginning to accept applications. Packets due 6 May & info can be found on the unit website. Good luck.

"Q. How many times can I take the AFOQT?
A. You can take the AFOQT two times with a minimum interval of six months between taking them. Waivers to take the test a third time are granted to people who have completed significant training since the last time they took the test if the training impacts the skills being measured (college-level math and English courses, private pilot’s license, etc.). If you inquire on a score and see blanks in the area where the scores should be, it’s usually because the person took the test a third time without authorization."
AFOQT FAQ's
I don't know the process of getting a waiver to take it a third time or how often one is approved. -
If it's something you really want to do, apply and make units tell you 'no thanks.' Don't self select. I'd do everything I could to retake the AFOQT a third time (and study your ass off for it) as I went though.

I mean that none of the "unsponsored" candidates got selected to go. Thanks for asking for clarification. I should have worded that better.
Hell of a pendulum swing from what it sounds like the pick-up rate for unsponsored candidates was on the last board.

I did't want to start a new thread, but I'm in a bit of a unique position and was hoping some of the posters here could help a bit . Due to commissioning in about 6 months with the Air Force, I am looking for any AFR/ANG units hiring for UFT slots. At this point I am willing to apply anywhere, the only thing that I'm struggling with is finding units that are currently or will be hiring soon. I believe I am a good candidate for these positions, but I am lacking any sort of connections at the respective units, which I recognize is critical. If any of you have information there that you could PM me, or just lead me in the right direction to get in contact with people that may know more in that would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you!
Also, check every units website and call around. You don't need any connections for most units.

Hi, is anyone in the know about the 107 FS hiring process or timeline? I've tried the Google machine and calling the recruiters but got nothing useful. I figured I'd ask around before calling ops.
Thanks
For their last board packets were due in mid Feb and the board was held early March.

Is that actually koshier/expected for FW interviews?
I never brought one and I got hired. No one ever cared either way.

Guy in my squadron used to be Army infantry. Wound up with multiple Purple Hearts before going the pilot route. I can't speak for him, but that sounds less fun to me than chasing girls in college and heading straight to UPT.
I won't speak for him, but I wouldn't trade my door kicking time for anything. I was certainly ready for the next step by the end of it though.

You can definitely be an Air Force pilot and go through Ranger school, but that doesn't mean you'll be in Ranger Regiment doing Ranger shit!
ETA: I'm only thinking in one direction. I guess you could totally be an Army Ranger and then later in your career get commissioned and become a pilot.
That would be the direction I was referring to.
-
If you want to be an Army Ranger, pursue it with all your heart. If you want to be an AF pilot, pursue it with all your heart (and start that path by rocking college). Pick one.
Just to throw it out there, but you can do both.
Finally done in Afghanistan?
