How many interviews have you received through rushing? What has the feedback been after rushing units?
Dude, enlisting at a unit when you’re already established at a legacy would be a huge gut punch going to BMT/tech school. You’ll be treated like you’re 18 regardless of being 27 and having a great career. Not worth it IMO! Instead of enlisting I would just rush that squadron and tell them this is where you want to be and you’re all in to that unit if fighters or bust.
I did something similar and enlisted after I got my degree thinking it would increase my chances. At the end of the day I don’t think it really will. They will select who they want regardless if you enlisted at 27 or not. You’re still competing with younger enlisted folks in the unit, legacies, etc. Luckily, I applied elsewhere and got picked up.
Lastly, I concur with Stoker! To fly in the military you need to want to be an officer first and truly want to serve your country(not saying you don’t) but if you truly want to fly and serve your country open your eyes to more than fighters or bust. There’s a lot more to it than ripping around in a Viper on Drill weekends once a month!
