Where can i get a copy of my actual waiver? DodMERB told me they don't get copies and it's not on their website. I know it was granted but i'm trying to apply to units and this would make it easier rather than sending in all my surgery papers if I already had an approved waiver. Thanks!

So what if it's only one of those things?

You are making a couple false assumptions.."it is well known"..and premises. I suggest you research the laws of thermodynamics as well. There is nothing to be discovered

+1...not just you. But to be frank it's usually men that perpetuate their behavior. All it takes is one to put her in check

Awesome information. Seems like my best bet would to to contact the 3 units i would like to fly for and see if i can get sponsored before i even submit on sept 30th. Do you think they'll be open to hiring so quick since its a slot that's already paid for ?

The RCP-R program just came out for CY2020 ROTC graduates. I had a few questions for anyone out here who may know a thing of two about it. Are the pilot slots from this program the same ones that units already have, or am i still up 'against' other people who may apply to their boards? I was looking to get hired by a fighter unit somewhere either in the ANG or the AFR and of course it's highly competitive but i like this extra option though i feel i have less 'control' over where i may end up which is what i liked about the freedom of being able to apply to boards for hiring units instead of my name being placed in a hat. Do I need to be sponsored by someone by the time i submit my package (sept 30)? If i do not get sponsored by that point, do i stay unsponsored until i manage to find a unit to sponsor me? What if someone wants to sponsor me but it's not necessarily a unit i 'want' to end up at, do i have an option to decline and hold out until i receive a sponsorship from a preferred unit? To take this a bit further, can i stay unsponsored all the way until I (hopefully?) end up at ENJJPT in an attempt to get seated in a fighter somewhere? If i do get sponsored by a fighter unit, can i still attend ENJJPT? Will i just be assigned to RegAF if this were to occur? If I do submit my paperwork for this, can i still pursue Guard units as well to maximize my options for fighters? My info: 7 year enlisted ANG. AFOQT 99P/84AA/81V/76Q. PCSM 93. ~160 hours Instrument rated working on commercial and multi. 3.6+GPA ~95-96 PT I know this is a lot but there is little time to decide and this is an amazing source for information. Thanks all.

I'd love to have a seat in the 117!

Where can you see live air traffic? Is this possible if they're only flying vfr? I just wanna see how crazy it is up there

Ahh then i feel as though I may be in a predicament where the next board may be too late.

Anyone know if the 187th would entertain an application from an ROTC applicant? I'm prior E and have a bit of flying under my belt but i graduate in 2020. Just wondering if it would be sensical to even apply for this board for someone in my position or if it would even be the same process for UPT sponsorship.

A quick youtube search will provide you with the answer

Well this is inspiring

Well i am on contract already which is why i was wondering why it HAD to be before junior year even if one is already contracted

Any updates out there? I noticed a posting for Dover and they mentioned as one of the education options "or in a current Air Force ROTC scholarship program and before your junior year of college" I am asking since I am about to go into my junior year and i have already contacted several units who told me to contact them next year, but this contradicts what they were saying. What does this mean and why does it have to be before junior year? I can e-mail the contact on the posting if i can't find my answer here.

Oldguy hit most of your questions pretty solid I'd say. But I think easily one of the highest priorities to give you the best shot possible should be to get your PPL or at least some flight hours. I live in the Lou so you can contact me if you want some ideas for where to achieve that. You've got the time and hopefully the $ as well to make it happen

Thank you, i was in the 131st

Reserves at whiteman...close enough i guess

Can't wait for them to buzz under the Arch here. Probably at whiteman right?

Glad to know i won't be messing with NDB's (i hope??)

WAAS/RAIM seems pretty legit to me, but what do i know

Sounds about right

Does gear go up with weight on wheels? Also, is ground effect much of a thing on fighters?
