148th Interview - 12 applicants - 5 officers on board (3 pilots)
Meet in greet was the day before the interviews. It mostly comprised of a short briefing, a couple low passes of one of their vipers, and drinking in the squadron bar until late into the night.
Interviews were held in a small office, and were 25 minutes in length, which honestly felt very short and wish they could have been longer.
Here are the questions I remember. Most of them are pretty standard.
