I would like to be entered. Thanks so much for doing this!

Any updated news from anyone in the know on the hiring climate at JBLM?

Just curious- whats the story with McDill? Why no call back there?

We're the same age, nearly the same pilot score (i got a 96) and nearly the same PCSM relative to hours completed (at 27 hours, i'll be a 77). From what I've been reading on this site and others, you're in the game for a pilot slot. I'm not 100% sure about the fighter part but if you'd be happy flying heavies then definitely keep pressing forward! I'm going for heavies in the reserves/ANG and everyone i've talked to has been pretty optimistic.

I don’t know about AFOQT scores but I know the lowest PCSM score hired last year was 20, and that was out of 84 selects (for AD).

This is all very helpful. Thank you all very much!

I want to get PRK done no matter what. If I am not selected, having had PRK done will remain a positive. As of today I have scheduled my PRK about a month from now. But, lets say I choose to wait on the surgery. Will hiring boards see that I require PRK?

Question pertaining to the timing of PRK itself in relation to the application process. I am going to be applying to ANG/Reserve squadrons as soon as I have finished my TBAS this Friday. I do require PRK and have been cleared by my recruiter and a local surgery center to proceed. The problem is getting time off of work to do the surgery and heal up enough to go back to work (I am a forklift operator). I guess my question is this: should I get the surgery done ASAP? or can I wait until after I have been picked up by a squadron (in the even that that even happens)? Potential notes of interest: I have not gone to MEPS, I have also not gone to do my FCI physical. I am 28 years old.

Edit 1: to reflect PCSM score after taking TBAS Edit 2: to reflect updated flight hours and subsequent PCSM increase; age increase; context updated Hello, I am a civilian with no prior service looking to fly any heavy airframe I can get my hands on. I am 29 years old. I intend to apply to ANG and Reserve squadrons. I hold a BA and MA in a non-tech non-stem field BA GPA: 3.389 MA GPA: 3.62 AFOQT (1 attempt): P96/N99/AA92/V99/Q70 TBAS 81 with 42 flight hours- PPL to be completed soon PCSM increase with additional flight hours: 6-10 = 69 11-20 = 73 21-40 = 77 41-60 = 81 61-80 = 85 81-100 = 89 101-200 = 93 201+ = 96 I have submitted two ANG applications. Both application suspense dates were June 15 but I submitted my applications around the end of May. The interviews are sometime in Sept (if I am lucky enough to get an interview). I know this answer will vary from unit to unit but does anyone have a guess as to when I can expect to hear back from these units? And do most units contact you to tell you yes/no for the interviews or just yes? Thank you to any and all who took the time to read and provide input. I am grateful!
