Realistic chances?
Great start! You're young and have plenty of time. Recommend retaking AFOQT and TBAS. I had similar scores on my AFOQT (3 30s) and it worked out in the end. Focus on which mission/location you are interested in and Rush those squadrons. Meeting the guys/gals is very important, if allowed.

Bringing a Boat to UPT?
Don't have any idea of when or where I'll end up for UPT. Assuming there is a lake nearby with the right season, would we have time on the weekends to use the wakeboat? Dumb idea? Fun? Thoughts?

Helicopter Track
Any bro have knowledge on how/who/what the process is to skip T-6s for the helo track? Sponsored 60 slot, trying to find ways to trim down the waiting - assuming T-6s is backed up. Thanks!

They run quarterly, so I'd guess JUL and OCT but that is just me guessing based off of the past Boards for FY21. Stay in the loop with your recruiter. He/She will know all of that. Hit or miss if it's accurate though lol

I believe so. My recruiter told me the package cannot be submitted w/o the FC1 approved

Herniated disc
First flying you do in UPT is in the T-6. However, you still have a chance man. There's rumor/articles mentioning that civ pilots with certain certificates/ratings and experience can skip T-6s and go straight to T-1s. I might have some of the details incorrect but try to research those articles if that applies to you. I'm still on the waiting pain train for UPT dates so I'm sure other guys in here who are in can give more accurate info. Also, there's talk that if you want to go the Helo route, you may be able to skip T-6s. Sponsoring squadron personally told me that. Not a definitive statement. Keep trying man, good luck

Recent Aerospace Engr, mixed scores
I'd recommend not retaking the test man. Your scores are good. I got picked up with 3 out of the 5 AFOQT scores in the 30s. Focus your effort on rushing squadrons

Okay that makes sense, thanks! Yeah i'm a guy OTS bound with a Reserve sponsored slot

Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT
Any idea why it takes the Surgeon General many months to approve of a medical waiver? Going on 4 months. Can my sponsoring unit make a call?

Helicopter Track
Hey LJ, Could you clarify how the UPT Helicopter track works? All i know so far is that we go T-6 then head to Rucker for Huey. How long is the Huey training? And do the UPT students that track helos, do we immediately head to Rucker or is there a long wait? I have a 60 slot. Thanks!

Can anyone give recent FC1/MFS Experience?
Hey bros, Got FC1 coming up - curious to what the minimum passing requirements are for Depth Perception. From what I understand, the DP test is the exact same one from MEPS. I got 6/12 on the DP Test (Passed B) at MEPS. Is the minimum requirement to pass "D"? To be eligible for pilot. I do not have an eyesight problem, nor do I wear contacts/glasses. After MEPS, I went to an Optometrist and maxed out every DP test they had. Any info would be awesome, thanks!

Bros, What should a civilian wannabe mil pilot wear for a zoom interview? I'm assuming typical interview attire but I don't want to overdress if that is not the norm for virtual interviews. Thanks

The Great Debate
Alright guys, i am currently a civilian pilot and have come to realization that I will be bored doing the same thing till i'm 65. I have been applying to Guard/Reserve squadrons in the mean time. Anyway, I am curious if the AF or Navy has better chances of tracking fighters in the training pipeline? This seems to be a AF heavy forum group so if there are any Navy bros/broettes out there that have some insight that would be great. Calling recruiters to set up the AD process this week. I understand it comes down to luck and the needs of the branch but besides that does the Navy or AF have better chances of tracking fighters in training? Thanks

When filling out AF Form 24s for a fighter, do you use 11F or 11F1F for the specialty code?

Got a question bros, So if the squadron lists in the application criteria to email the app only, would it be frowned upon to deliver a hard copy when you rush? Or would hand delivering it and emailing be the best option?
