    Specific Question Regarding BAH

    in Military Spouses

    Posted

    You can get the waiver to get BAH at your home location and you will live in the dorms. Several guys in my class are currently doing it.

    viper154, Do you know if the guard/reserve member has to own a house to get waiver approved? I ask because I rent a house and my wife will not be able to come with me to UPT because she is attending medical school.

    I need help and im not too sure where to start!

    Hey guys so im 17 years old and I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot, ive been doing my research and i had a plan layed out but im no too sure about it; pretty much i want to devise a solid plan that will maximize my chances of getting a pilot slot. Heres my plan

    -first join the reserves to help with school and to set me apart from the other cadets in my future detachment,(will this be a problem with rotc involvement?)(and should i do this/will it hurt me more than help?)

    -once im done with basic and tech, im obviously going to university but heres my problem, and it ties in with my whole reserves plan because of location ( will attending a crosstown university hurt me, meaning will my chances of standing out towards my cadre and getting a slot decrease?)

    - then if all goes well once im in the reserves assuming i haven't deployed and im in my junior year all qualified and in the top of my det ill hopefully get a slot lol

    Please help me solidify my plan and any advice helps thanks guys!!!

    I was in the same situation a few years back.

    I joined the Air National instead of the reserve because of the education benefits (100% tuition + GI Bill SR) and after tech school and On-the-job training started AFROTC.

    -I wouldnt say it " set me apart from the other cadets" but having experience from basic and tech school helped me get some things quicker than my peers.

    - I was attending a croswtown college and to me it looked like the Det Commander did not care what school you were attending as long as you were getting good grades and volunteering for things.

    If somehow you can pull an AFROTC scholarship right after high school, take it and don't look back. You will be able to get your commission quicker and go to pilot training sooner.

    Upcoming Boards

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    It was supposed to be finished on 1 Jul, but that obviously didn't happen. About 25-30 were recommended by the board and they are now waiting for the final approval authority. It should happen this week.

    Also expect MFS certification to be required for any future boards. It seems AFRC is tired of playing with MFS and the member for medical certification after the fact.

    Thanks for the help deaddebate!!! :notworthy:

    MFS certification for unsponsored applicants too?
