Don't worry about it. The whole person concept is a real thing.

Holy mother of fighters! Merry F%$ing Christmas.

That program will only become reasonable/appealing once and if they actually implement the proposed changes (Locality + 30% pilot bonus) to the pilot GS pay. Which seems very unlikely.

Go to sleep! You'll need to be rested for it. Good luck.

You can do the FC1 at any base with the appropriate medical facilities, however, you will still need to go to Wright Patterson AFB for the MFS part of it.

It seems like the Army selected a Sig made handgun to replace the M9. Which I'm sure will translate to the AF switching over as well down the road. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/01/19/army-picks-sig-sauer-replace-m9-service-pistol.html

The F#CK did I just watch!!

That's one of the reasons they select primaries and alternates. The alternate will just get the slot.

the ones I know are, -100th FS, Alabama National Guard - 93rd FS, Homestead Air Reserve Base, FL

Can someone please elaborate on this.

Yes, an engineer who just lost his virginity.

For all who are going to visit this unit this weekend, please send me a PM with your phone number. I'm making a group chat for all of us who are visiting. That way we can relay info pertaining to the weekend much easier.

When it comes to action camcorders, I would suggest you get a good one from the beginning, instead of buying the cheaper one and then having to sell it when you realize you want the additional features that come with the higher price camera ( like I did ). As stated before, one of the best cameras in the market for all types of use is the GoPro Hero4 or Hero5 Black. If you don't care about having a screen on the camera itself to see what you are recording, I would recommend you stick with the Hero4 Black as it is cheaper than the new Hero5 Black while giving you amazing video quality. On the Hero4 black you can use your smartphone to connect to the camera via WIFI and use the phone as the viewfinder. However, it will result in lower battery life. Buying a camera off ebay is ideal when you can find a brand new one for much cheaper than the going market price. The current market price for the Hero4 Black is 349, and for the Hero 5 Black is 399. Although I've seen a brand new Hero4 Black on ebay sell for 280 (This is when you should def buy it on ebay.) Finally the upgrades from the Hero4 Black to the Hero5 Black are the following. The camera has a screen on the back and is voice activated. Now the camera is waterproof without a case which in turn provides better audio recording since is not being muffled by the case needed on the Hero4 to make it waterproof. The video recording resolution is the same but the actual quality is just a bit better due to a better sensor and upgraded software which gives you digital image stabilization and lastly, the battery lasts a bit longer than the Hero4 Black. I would recommend you at least get the Hero4 Black but it is up to you to decide if these added features of the Hero5 Black are worth the additional costs associated with it.

I would agree that having the screen in the back is really nice. But nothing beats the video quality of the Black model. GoPro happened to listen to the consumer and put a screen in the newest GoPro Hero 5 Black. You now have the best of both world. Amazing quality video and amazing user interface. I would say go with Hero5 Black. Plus, the battery lasts longer.

When your package is weak in one particular are, you should do your best to strengthen the other areas to the best of your ability. Units hired based on the whole person concept and how well they think you fit in. I've seen people get hired at units with less then stellar scores. As far as being competitive for this and any future board, I would suggest you retake the TBAS and try to get more flight hours if you are able to. I myself have not been hired by a unit yet, but have had a few interviews and continue to make my package stronger with the feedback obtained from those interviews. Lastly, one of the best thing you can do is to go and visit the unit. This way they can get an idea of who you are and what your motives are.

In Active Duty and Reserves, you are automatically exempt by having a PPL or greater. In the Guard, this would be at the discretion of the unit sending you to UPT, regardless of you having your PPL.

Arizona ANG posted their board announcement. Only Arizona National Guard members can apply. https://www.162wing.ang.af.mil/careers/index.asp Does anyone know if New Jersey ANG sent out their interview selection notice?

I don't know about Virginia, but Hawaii app was due April first of this year's board. PM if you want the POC for Hawaii.

Thanks for the posting, I did see the F-16 episode of it and I was pretty darn good. Here it is for the rest of you, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjOewaiCUbg

I will be sending a package in shortly. Unfortunately I wont be able to attend the social, but hopefully I will get lucky and be chosen for an interview. Good luck to everyone who's applying as well.

I'm interested on the answer for the previous question as well. How can you get the approved DD2808 after completing MFS/FC1 at wright patt?

If you have any questions just PM me. This process can be very stressful without guidance for us reservists.

As a reservist you have to go to your unit's education office to get the AFOQT scheduled. As others have posted on this site, make sure you are fully prepared to take the test. Really practice your timing. The test itself is not hard but if you are not quick at doing the problems, then a lot of questions will be missed

Copy that. Thanks for the heads up.
