I was in fuels for 10 years. I’m at UPT now and the prior Es range from comm to JTAC to crew chief. Most are AFSCs that touched an aircraft though.
-
I recommend enlisting. It worked for me and many others. There is nothing wrong with an enlisted career if you were medically DQ’d later down the road. Just my 2 cents.

You may have a shot depending on the unit. Some units require a PPL and a higher PCSM. However, I know of 3 people who have made it with no PPL and single digit PCSM scores. Apply and give it a shot. Goodluck.
-
It may would help if you joined a unit and kept applying to show how serious you are. That decision isn’t for everyone but it works for some people. When did you apply for the Jackson,MS board?
-
I recommend going for it. I was in a similar situation. I was a 10 year TSgt when I applied to my home base. I did not have a PPL and also had a terrible PCSM. I thought there was slim chance that I would be selected or make it. I’m currently flying the T6 now in UPT. You will miss 100% of the opportunities that you do not pursue. Give it everything you have and the rest will work itself out.

So....no spins, cross country, or solos?

Sounds like a good way to potentially burn a bridge with people who have already given you an opportunity. To each his own but I couldn't do that. I'm sure there are plenty of other people who would like to have that heavy spot without question.

My packet took about that long too. Wound up finding that it was the recruiter sending the wrong forms in multiple times. It all worked out in the end though. Good luck. Stay on top of it.
-
Which unit picked you up?
-
Congrats. Who picked you up?
-
Stay on top of your recruiter. My package took a long time because it was being sent up incorrect multiple times.

Scores could be better but it is still very possible to get hired with your current stats. Retake and try to do better. If not, roll on and hope for the best. FYI, I got a slot with worse scores but a better GPA.

I hope this is good news and we all hear something soon.
-
I have heard it can go before FC1. It seems like most go after though which would make more sense.

Negative. Still waiting. My package has supposedly been at NGB since the beginning of February.

Your scores are not good. But it is still possible for you to be selected for a pilot slot. Don't ask me how I know........

Anybody with a recent date drop??
-
Awesome. Thanks for the response. I've been worried about losing fitness during that time but if I can get in a few workouts by myself then I should be fine. Congrats on getting your commission and good luck at pilot training.
-
Does anyone have any recent feedback on the fitness regimen in TFOT? I am not asking because I am worried about meeting the minimum. How often and long are the run sessions specifically? Also, any idea on the fitness schedule in UPT? Is it a mandatory 1hr per day? Thanks.
-
For those that have had dates drop, how were you notified? Email from NGB? Recruiter?
-
Mine was sent to state HQ Jan 25th and I was told it made it to NGB at some point already but not sure how long ago. I'm still waiting on approval but was told any day now. I hear it's within 5 weeks or so.

I second black hills TJ. The whole person concept is very real. I had an awesome GPA but a PCSM that would make everyone laugh.

Thanks! I was 28 when selected. I’ll be 30 this November so I was cutting it a little close.
