  1. We're probably talking about the same person then. I'd do OTS in hell if they'd just send me tomorrow. This waiting game is way worse than anything they could throw at me at this point. But hey, I've lived in hot & humid my whole life so I'm used to it.
  2. I know of someone selected in 2017 that did OTS > FC1/MFS > UPT. It's definitely circumventing the normal process and I'm not exactly sure how they did it, but it is possible if your unit and recruiter are willing to put in the extra work to not do things the normal way (mine was adamantly NOT when I mentioned it to them). However, this also puts the unit at risk of having an officer that can't fly because they aren't medically qualified to do so, which I have also heard has happened to the same unit that does this.
  3. Maybe start a new thread? I wouldn't want to derail what this one is for.
  4. ANGI36-2005 Chapter 2 2.8 Don't take the F*ing ASVAB. Jesus, it infuriates me recruiters don't know this stuff when it's their job. It took me less than 60 GD seconds to bing that.
  5. Sorry, that made for a bad copy & paste, but that was from the other forum and I don't really know specifics. I'd start with calling Doss, though. Their website says they have a part 141 school as well and I'm sure they're familiar with people wanting to do exactly what you're trying to. Either they can do it or point you to people who can.
  6. This is what I found over at airforceots.com, I remember them talking about it in more detail, but I can't find any other threads over there. I'd bet if you call up Doss Aviation, they'll be able to walk you through what other people have done in the past (maybe they can do it as well?) http://www.dossaviation.com/our-services/flight-training From: https://airforceots.com/viewtopic.php?f=142&t=33435&sid=59b6003b22a6ed59fe08ea305b7b30b3
  7. That's what my unit is talking about with me...go to OTS and do SERE & water egress prior to UPT in 2019. I have my PPL so wouldn't be required to do IFT, but I wonder if they'll have me do it to fill time (I kinda hope not).
  8. Anyone know if our favorite Buckley applicant got the call?
  9. It’s the “Western Union” ad. I just tested this numberous times, reloading this site to get different ads. The only time it happens is on the WU ad and it happens EVERY TIME the WU ad is loaded. Pic showing the ad as well as the pop up it creates.
  10. ipad. I knew I had this joke coming, but this is the only website I get this issue with.
  11. I am continually being redirected away from this site to an amazon “ad” is this just me?

  13. MFS only accomplished (finally! feels like a huge accomplishment and weight off my shoulders) in Feb 2018. Lodging in Wright Patt Inn is simple and it was taken care of for me, just follow the Google Maps to “Wright Patterson Inns” (yes, Inns) I rented a car which was under $100 and made things extremely convenient. “Building 840 parking lot” in google maps takes you exactly to the parking area shown in the screenshot earlier in this thread. Park, walk around the roundabout, and then go in building 840. The instructions said to go to W100, but for some reason I couldn’t find it so I went into W105 where the people inside took care of me. We did a red dot test and then my anthropometric measurements. Then completed the remainder of all the tests. Everything was very standard to me. Something I’ll point out that I noticed: if you wear glasses, be careful on the red dot test as your glasses and the way the person holds the device can give you a false picture; take your time and don’t be afraid to tell the person to adjust the device if it isn’t lined up properly. I had to wait 2 hours in W100 (which I finally found) for my Form 600, but now it’s FINALLY DONE! Tips for while you’re here: Kings Table Bar & Grill has a Tuesday special of $2 burgers that are a good size. And the AF museum is definitely a given.
  14. Off topic, but everyone here talking about dropping a lot of money for hours...look into gliding. Not only will it make you a better pilot, it is fun and much more affordable. And the hours count just as any other.
  15. Finally got this figured out. For anyone who gets into this issue in the future: contact the OTS registrar and they'll forward the issue up the proper channel.
  16. I had a buddy that was applying last year who needed an age waiver...DC F-16 & VT F-35 were the only ones who even let him submit a package.
