[Hired by a Guard Unit after Unsponsored Reserve slot?]

The default route for an unsponsored AFRC dude is T-1's.  After you get selected, you start shelling out emails to all units, and you'll find out quickly that there are maybe half a dozen reserve fighter units that can even sponsor you.  It's an uphill battle from the start, and the odds are against you.  If you're up for the fight, it's not impossible to get yourself a fighter sponsorship.  My route was insanely complicated, but I did recIently go through this exact situation, and happened to come out on top.

You can go through the entire Unsponsored process up to being gained by the 340th and still have apps out to ANG fighter units.  If that is what you want to fly, pursue all options simultaneously.  Water flows where it can.  Your AFRC recruiter will want you to only pursue AFRC units because he's putting all the work into pushing your package forward, but you can and should branch out as much as possible.    

 

I was told that if you received a pilot slot (specifically unsponsored, like my case) from AFRES and didn't use it, you'd be "disqualified per regulations" from receiving another pilot slot. For me, I'm an AFROTC junior & AFRES unsponsored select and would like to apply for one or two local guard units...

[Unsponsored Board]

Hey!! I was wondering if anyone else in here did in fact apply to the AFROTC-AFRC Board this fall (CY2020 Cadets)? Feel free to PM me.
