Hi all,
first off I cant say thank you enough to all those that have posted in the past and helped me grasp what the process of off the street ANG pilot selection is like.
I can now say first hand that with motivation and perseverance anything is possible. I have been in this process for a tad under 2 years and was just selected to fly the f-16. I took 3 interviews, 2 afoqts (both were not out of this world by anymeans)2 tbas tests and a few weekend trips to SQ, but it finally paid off. The 3 top points I can share are
1- Rush Units, Show up get to know the pilots, but more importantly let them get to know you.
2-Dont let anyone tell you NO! but understand that to get to where you want to be (Fighters, Heavy, Helo) you have to put in the work to get there. No one you meet who have succeeded in this were handed anything, they busted there butts to get where they are and continue to do so, you should do the same.(for me the real work is about to star AMS UPT etc. )
3-Be Yourself, I cant stress this enough.
anyway feel free to pm me for more info on any of my experiences id be happy to share what ive learned.

hi guys wondering if anyone has had a similar issue,
at my MEP/s physical I only passed line C on the depth perception test (not that I really remember not being able to see past it, I looked into it for all of 30 seconds when the lady said "you passed") I didn't think anything of it until I was told I needed line D for air crew. (pilot applicant) I have never had any issue with my eyes before, and have had a few comprehensive eye work ups in my college years. I have 20/40 left eye 20/25 in right, so I do wear glasses. anyway I had to order a new pair of glasses last week (1day before test they arrived) . I am retaking my test today at Andrews clinic. I didn't think anything of it until this morning when I was driving and took them off to clean and put back on and noticed that things did appear a little closer. is there any chance my new glasses are affecting this? how should I approach the test? ask if I can do it with out them? I currently hold a FAA class 1 if that matters.
any advice would be great
thanks!
