    Two boards at once

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    CIvilian. I know for sure you can do ANG and AFRC because only AFRC goes trough MEPS. His rationale was, MEPs physicals can only be attached to one recruiter at a time, and since AFRC and Active duty both use MEPS physicals, it becomes a problem. To make thing a little more messy, I contacted a Navy recruiter today which also is believe to have a projected board in November, in case anyone was interested.

    At my wits end with my recruiter, need to schedule FC1 ASAP for AFRC board

    I'm kind of in the same boat as well with my AFRC recruiter not being the most responsive. I gave him all my documents/scores but I still need to take/schedule my MEPS physical /FC1 for the Unsponsored Boards. I was trying to see when the deadline was but couldn't find anything. At least you have access to your recruiter. Mine is on a base, so I can't just stop by unless I am sponsored.

    Hey All,

    I recently received an unsponsored slot in the reserve and completed my FC1. I've reached out to some fighter units and all are fully staffed. I've also interviewed at 2 guard fighter squadrons (have at least 1, possibly 2 more to go) and was not selected. Given that the 2015 boards have almost concluded, should I just accept the commission in the reserve? I ask because they are nearly all heavys and it seems that getting a fighter out of UPT for the AFR is almost impossible. However, I am 27 1/2 years old and am concerned if I don't jump on this opportunity I might be too old for the guard next year. I'm currently an airline pilot flying heavy metal so I was hoping to fly something different in the service. My PCSM is 99, AFOQT 99/95/92/86/88. Thanks!

    What unsponsored board did you get picked up from? The next board is in November of this year.

    If this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it. I just wanted to get some opinions.

    I am prior service ANG and have been invited to 4 interviews this year at cargo units and one with the 106th Rescue Wing, but haven't received any invites for FW's yet. I have the option to switch to a local Army National Guard unit and fly the LUH-72 Lakota's or HH-60's. I just turned 28 and I am trying to weigh the pro's and con's of switching services. Anyone familiar with the process or have any input? Anyone know of any units (other than the 104fw and those on the Guardreservejobs website) still accepting packets?

     

    Try not to double post, it is a pretty small forum and what the other poster said was for sure the best advice, first slot you get offered, jump on it. As far as UPT boards, you have to check each site and see when their next board is. If you are really persistent, you can email them as well to see when their next future board will be. Being that you are 28, I would print out the entire ANG list and make sure you check and/or contact each one. Not sure army age limit for their pilot training, but 28 is usually as old as you get for wings to consider you.

    You asked for feedback and Seriously provided some. Stop being a SNAP and take the advice and move on. Seriously was actually being nice...I'll say what he didn't. Your AFOQT scores are terrible. Get some study material and put forth the extra effort and bring all of them up if this is something you are committed to. Otherwise, stop wasting your time.

    Thanks for the input. I have taken the test twice and studied very hard for it, my first pilot score was in the 50s. I have used pretty much every book produced. My original post was not regarding my AFOQT scores, it was making the best decision for what I got. I am commited to go to UPT and don't care how I get there.

    I have sent about 7 packages to ANG FW UPT boards. I have not sent any packages to AFRC because you need to work with a recruiter but I am currently in contact with one.


    Talked to OTS recruiter and he pretty much was only interested in seeing when I would be retaking AFOQT. I can't seem to get a hold him anymore, but I will keep trying.

    Score update

    At a critical age, 25 and want to go balls to the wall but also be strategic as well with getting a slot. I am wondering if I should enlist in a guard unit or try my chances with AFRC which I heard the odds are really good getting a slot. I think OTS is out of the question with these scores.
