    Those of You Who Are Older, Who Do you Get Letters of Recommendations From?

    I’m your same age and recently got picked up. It’s a difficult spot because a lot of people can’t ask their boss. I am in a pretty unstable industry so I couldn’t ask my boss for a recommendation without concern that it would impact my work.

    I ended up asking a good friend from college that is an AF officer, my flight instructor who worked with me through my PPL, and I was lucky enough to have a family friend who was a retired fighter pilot and B-course instructor.

    If I could have asked my boss though, he definitely would have been one of my first picks

    Bump on this thread.  Same boat here as far as not being able to ask my boss despite it being a potentially strong recommendation. I'm 27 as well. 

     

    As a side question, did you guys format your letters as a typical civilian/industry letter would be formatted?  Also did you address someone at the unit specifically, or just a general "hiring board" type of address.

    I would be all in for a guard / reserve slot.  All my contacts in Dover have moved on when they started the transition to C-17s.  Is there a place to find current openings for C-5 slots on the guard /reserve?  I checked baseops and it looks like spam has gotten the job postings.  

    I believe the unit down in San Antonio is having a board with a June, maybe end of June app deadline.  May want to double check the exact timeline as I'm not completely sure of the dates.

    Austin is great man but as someone said before, flight school options for PPL are limited here. I live here and am currently pursuing that route and its a slower process flying out of a large airport every lesson, and a tad expensive overall.  However, definitely doable if you have the time and money.  Let me know if you have any questions!

    Holloman Units

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    Hey guys, 

    I apologize in advance for what may be a dumb post, however I cant seem to find any info on this after doing some searching.  

     

    I am in the process of preparing my application for Reserve and ANG units,  and intend on applying to as many locations as possible.  I'm compiling a list of some locations and cant seem to find whether or not there is a reserve unit at Holloman, and if so, would such units send anyone to UPT, or is Holloman primarily a B-Course/training location?

     

    Thanks!
