[Standard Interview Questions]

I think this is a good thing. However, although I am not on one of these boards nor am I in one of these units...

 

I can smell a canned answer from a mile away. Be careful how you use this.

 

My Advice: Know your answer...have the points...don't have a statement.

 

Except:

 

 

 

EVERYONE should have AT LEAST one in your pocket just cause.

 

Just humble advice.

This is very good advice. I have conducted interviews for an AFRC unit for approximately 8-9 years, hired people from all kinds of backgrounds. In my experience I am looking for three things when I ask questions:

1. Can you make it through training?

2. Will you stick around once we train you?

3. Do you fit in with our culture?

The last one is the most important for the interview questions. No matter what the answers are I can get a pretty good idea of someones character by the answers they give. Most of us have been in the same position and understand the awkwardness of answering interview questions. The best thing to do is answer confidently and honestly.

[Checkride/mission superstitions or rituals?]

Marinate a big, juicy ribeye the night before a checkride. If I Q1, I have a large slab of celebratory cow flesh waiting for me. Other than Q1, at least I have a steak (hasn't happened yet, knock on wood). Also, I carry a 1903 Morgan Silver Dollar on important flights.

[WTF? (**NSFW**)]

I heard that there is truth to the 69th BS today...

BTW good history on the 69th, they flew B-26s in the Pacific in WWII, fought at the Battle of Midway, Jimmy Doolittle Jr. was a member.

[B-52 (BUFF) info]

I'm also nav student looking for info on the Buff. Is the RTU 7 months for pilots and navs or just for pilots? Also how long does it take move from nav to radar nav? Thanks.

If theyr'e not doing it in the current class, navs are dual seating as initial qual studs soon. RTU is about 7 months long.
