See you on the Guard side!

Yes, I was already enlisted in my unit. So that may have helped a bit. Which unit did you get picked up by?

Yeah, I was at Wright-Patt for my FC1. Dates dropped the next week. Don't be afraid to hound the folks at your unit for dates.

Definitely consider going ANG!

This and this. Its not so much who they are from, but what they say and how credible they are. I had a letter from a previous supervisor who an AD crew chief, a previous supervisor who happened to be a retired colonel in the marines, an MTL from tech school, and my current shop supervisor at my ANG unit. Get as many as you can, and pick the ones that you feel speak the best about you. Don't submit a letter just because it is from someone you think will impress the board.

I am ANG. I've been waiting for dates all summer long!

Scratch that...dates just dropped! Interview: 3 Jun 16 Selected: 4 Jun 16 FC1: 29 Aug 16 TFOT: 11 Jan 17 IFS: 21 Mar 17 UPT: 17 May 17

I will take your spot this month if you can't make it :)

I haven't received any e-mails personally, but I've been hearing all summer about how hard they are pushing. I haven't received dates still, so I'm still hopeful...although a bit pessimistic.

I just returned back to my home unit from my FC1. I would say I was more or less "done" by noon of the second day, and was dismissed with an "all clear" recommendation by Tuesday afternoon. It really went quite well. All of the staff were very friendly and more than helpful. They are there to help you succeed, without a doubt. Wednesday I spent about 5 hours at the Museum...AWESOME!

I interviewed for my spot June 3, 2016. Got the call June 4, 2016. Just got back from my FC1. Still waiting for TFOT, etc. dates.

Heading to Wright-Pat Sunday for my FC1. Any last minute pointers aside from "relax" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I spoke to Buckley earlier this year, and their UPT boards were cancelled for this year. Hopefully you can get things lined up to at least give them a shot next year!

You bet you can get picked up! I recently met a great young lady that was selected to fly Eagles for a guard unit. She was a civilian with some GA hours, and after talking to her for a bit, she was definitely an excellent candidate and deserved a spot! Your GPA is awesome. Knock out the AFOQT and start putting packets together for units.

Does it appear that this "plan" is specific to Reserves or Guard as well?

Congrats guys! See you on the other side.

I was already enlisted with my ANG Unit. Interviewed June 4, 2016 Selection Notice June 5, 2016 FC1 at Wright Patt August 29, 2016 TFOT TBD IFS TBD UPT TBD

I was notified yesterday that I had been selected as a potential F-16 Pilot with the 114th FW Sioux Falls, SD. I about jumped out of my boots! What an exciting day! Thank you to EVERYONE that has been so gracious and willing to share information, tips, etc. I couldn't have done it without you all! Here's to hoping things go well, and that someday...I'll have the privilege of flying with some of you awesome folks!

Hey Folks. New to the boards here. Did anyone else put in for a UPT spot with the 114th FW? I'm a member at the unit and just received a letter for my interview. I was wondering if anyone on the Base Ops Boards applied and/or was selected for an interview?
