He means "no" to volunteering. Mobilize me = federally activate me if you want me to go.

Forgot to mention Macdill AFRC KC-135 unit is accepting apps. Call for details.

Xcraftllc, what you have described is what is expected of a military member-working thru the chain of command. What DV portrayed was, as a civilian, it is ok for him in his mind to go VFR direct to the Wing King. He sure can, but I can make a statement with a level of confidence above 99% that doing so will result in an unfavorable outcome for him. As a Guardsman, I have seen it happen. And if he believes that is how it is done in the civilian sector, then good luck with that too. I get it all the time from potential applicants who want to work for my company. They think that coming straight to me will result in favorable action (e.g. being given a job even though lately it has also included sponsorship of their race team, Timmy's football league, etc.) Instead, I direct them to the appropriate divisions within my company that handle those requests or HR. I don't have to do that, but people got to start somewhere and I'm a nice guy. I could just ignore them, and I am pretty sure that a Wing Commander has more pressing issues to deal with. Take it from a guy who has been there, done that, and has a stack of t-shirts.....follow the process as I outlined and you will be ok. Have perseverance, maintain tact, and remember that you are applying for a position that requires your very best effort.

Son, listen. Do. Not. Do. That. The best way to get the info you need is to pick up the phone, call the ops desk, and POLITELY ask to speak to the UPT board POC. It is usually a Lt. or Capt. You are going to have to do some legwork and it will require using the gray matter between your ears. There is no free lunch, you want to go to pilot training? Put the work in.

Wrong route to take. Stick to contacting board POC's as designated in instructions on unit website.

:salute: Godspeed. Condolences to the family.

When I interview a candidate for a position with my company, the question of whether or not they are PME complete and their DG status is the first. This is followed by a line of questions regarding their ability to lead by PowerPoint, their PT score, and whether they prefer to backstab or openly roll over their bros on their way to their next promotion.
