I know this is late, but how did it go? Any update?

If you failed because of an issue that was 100% out of your control (weather, maintenance, etc) then you could try to get the college to remove it from your transcripts.
If not, just explain the case. It will probably look bad at first glance, but if you have a good explanation it should buff out.
Just my $0.02

[mention=79729]engeguy[/mention] Yes, you can be selected for the AD UPT board, turn it down, and still be hired in a Guard UPT Board.
Also, last I was aware, if you turn down UPT for AD and then decide to apply AD again (for whatever reason), you will most likely not be selected for an AD board again.
As with anything else, nothing is impossible, but if you bail on AD to try your luck at the Guard and come up short, you’re likely SOL.
Good to know. What if you applied for a UPT board and instead only got into URT. Would denying that still hurt your chances for applying to UPT again?

If you get accepted into UPT can you turn it down and go guard? Will that burn any bridges? I know if you get accepted for a UPT, it is impossible to get in a second time if you decline your first offer.

If someone who is AD where to complete flight school and become trained in their new air frame, what is the chance that they would stay in a flying job for the remainder of their career?
Does the AF often reassign pilots to non-flying jobs?
Or do pilots have high job security (I.e. they get to stay flying if they want to)?

I’m curious to know how the “community” or “brotherhood” of pilots compares in Active Duty to ANG/AFR.
I’ve heard that the pilots in AD fighter squadrons are a very close knit community, and I am wondering if the same is true for reservists / part timers?
I have some buddies who are SEALs or Marines and they treat each other like family. Is this also a trend in the pilot community?

Does the AF ever pull medical records?

Hopefully someone can answer this here.
How does the difficulty of the academic portion of UPT compare to a competitive college major? For example, how does it compare in difficulty to an engineering major at Berkeley or MIT or Stanford or some other school?
Also, most people here are saying that UPT students should enjoy their weekends. Is there not work to study over the weekend?
What are your suggestions...

Another thing to consider could be going to community college for the first two years. It will save you huge amounts of money, and I think Embry Riddle accepts transfer students so you could still end up there.
The money you save by going to CC could be used on your flight training.
