  1. Sorry for grammar and spelling issues, I don't have the ability to edit. Heck, I even misspelled my username. -Prepare a solid answer for each question that you find in here and what I mentioned* was the main correction I wanted to make
  2. First, thank you to all the folks that shared their experiences in this thread. It was a tremendous help in preparation for the board and I couldn't be more thankful. I boarded on Saturday (UTA weekend) and got the call yesterday that I was selected for an RPA position with the guard unit. If you take the time to read through this thread and prepare a solid answer, you will really have a good foundation for the questions that will be asked of you. Also, it has been said multiple time but I will repeat it as well. Be yourself, you will be boarding with guys/gals that have been around the block a time or two, they will see right through you if you throw any BS out on the table. Be confident that you earned the opportunity to board, be honest, be yourself and answer the questions asked of you backed with examples. To me they want to know a couple of things 1) Can you make it through pilot training, do you understand the commitment? 2) Do we want to fly with you for the next 20 some years... Here are some key questions were a great help in my preparation; Hit specific things you want to hammer home when they ask "tell us about yourself". Let them know what you've accomplished and succeeded at in your career and/or education up to this point, challenges you faced as well. Why do you want to be an Officer? A pilot? Which is more important and why? Do you understand the difference between URT/UPT and the commitment level needed for both? Would you prefer URT or UPT and why? Why should we select you? What do you bring to the table? (basically strengths question reworded) 3 adjectives to describe yourself. What qualities make a good leader? What is your style of leadership? What is your greatest weakness? ---------------------- Questions that were not asked but would be good to have answers for and good for overall prep... Know the airframe and weapons system! Know a brief history of the unit and any awards they received in conflicts 5yr / 10yr Greatest accomplishment or challenge you overcame Greatest failure How do you handle conflict with another airman? Have you ever disagreed with your supervisor? How did you handle it? How do you handle criticism? What makes a good team?
