The user: Guest_IIXxRaVeNxXII_* was told in this thread: to not ever bother trying. I have strengths to offset my weaknesses, unlike him. However, I have my sights set on a higher caliber program than he did. I will fight tooth and nail for this as long as there is so much as a glimmer of hope. I believe that there is more than a glimmer of hope for me, but that's just the fighter in me talking.

Thank you for the responses, In the interim, I am applying to ANG units but I may have to shoot for AD as well since I am nearing the age limit. Would you recommend I speak with an Officer recruiter for either route? The army is certainly something I have looked into as well and have heard the same thing about more lenience with granting waivers...so that option is on the table as well. The reason I posed this inquiry was because I have read that a recruiter may say no to an applicant just because the amount of effort to reward ratio makes it not worth their time. As an applicant with little knowledge of how the system works, I am seeking first hand experience on what kind of challenges I can expect, how I may best approach those challenges, and any steps I may pre-emptively take to help my case. And yes, it seems like we are facing an ever increasing threat with ISIS that may have to be met with a more substantial military force. I guess I'm keeping my fingers crosses for that...kinda.

Hello, I have started this thread in an attempt to get in touch with any AF member either enlisted, pilot, recruiter, or any officer that would be willing to discuss with me my background and my chances of being offered a UPT slot. I will not sugar coat my past and will present a comprehensive background of myself, including the strong parts of my application. I don't think it would be smart to post this all on a public forum so I would prefer to communicate through PM. Since I do not know which members I should PM, I would ask that anyone willing to listen and offer their opinion please send me a PM and I will respond asap. Thank you very much. -Arrow
