    Realistic chances?

    in What Are My Chances?

    Posted

    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.

    Just an fyi to hopefully help speed things along, you're recruiter is most certainly able to send up your package to NGB to get OTS dates, without your FC1 being done or approved. You'll have to send the FC1 up after its approved, but if they say they need the FC1 to get your officer selection package up and approved, that's not true. Trust me. 

    Good stuff. You got any tricks/tips for the Reserves route?

    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

    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!

    The Great Debate

    in Pilot Selection Process

    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
