Hey guys, I'm gonna slide this question into this thread, save the fine people of this website some space on the server.. I'm an enlisted guard guy, shooting for a fighter slot in the ANG/AFRC. I'm a junior in college right now and I was wondering what you all thought would be a worthwhile endeavor that reflected "leadership experience". I know there's clubs and stuff out there but it's really a joke. I have the time right now to undertake something challenging, but I really can't think of anything good or that a UPT board would think is impressive. Any ideas? Thanks

When you're selected by the AFRC board how long is that good for? Does it expire if you don't get picked up by a unit?

well since she brought it up... I have almost all my boxes checked, I'm a stud yatta yatta except I'm only a junior in college. I've been sittin here with this package cocked and loaded waiting until I got that sweet piece of paper, then I was gonna start rushing. Do I have the option of applying sooner? I assumed some reg would hold me back.

This happens all the time in the guard. The correct course of action would have been to make some noise and have this issue sent up the chain until you had your ticket to KSAT in hand. just my .02

3k for a ppl? damn, I need to move to the mid west to build time if that's the going rate..

Not bad, but try this one on for size site:af.mil UPT 2015. This is how a pro wanna-be looks for jobs. But alas, it does not solve the problem of reserve hiring prospects.

I'm gonna tell you something I think you already know; the best way to get this sort of information is to call each unit state by state and figure it out yourself. Securing an AFRC slot seems to be big blues best kept secret. Doing the leg work is the only way to really break through. good luck

Thanks, that basically how I interpreted it also. My dentist said the he didn't think it would become a factor. I just didn't know if the AF dentist would have to DQ me based on some regulation or if compacted wisdom teeth can somehow cause an adverse effect on flying. I guess I'll just wait it out and see, hopefully it doesn't put me behind the curve.

I've read through the threads concerning this topic, looked at the regulation and spoke with a civilian oral surgeon, but I wanted to get an opinion from here, the all knowing internet. My bottom wisdom teeth are horizontally impacted. One of them kept the last molar from erupting. All of the teeth are under the gum line and do not cause me any discomfort. The hang up is I cannot find anyone willing to pull them because they're located near the nerves on both sides. I currently have a class 3 medical (ATC). I'm curious if these need to be removed or if I can leave them and still get a FC1? If a doctor or anyone 'in the know' can shed light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Best
