[What Are My Chances — OLD GUY Edition]

Hello all!

I’m going to make this clear and concise.

 

- 30 years old 

- BA in Sociology - 3.0

- AFOQT - 93 Pilot, 96 Nav, 63 Verbal, 49 Acad Aptitude, 39 Quant

- PCSM - 71 w/ 22 hrs, 91 w/ 201+

- Have great LORS

- I feel like I have a pretty strong CL and a so-so resume 

- Submitted 4 apps so far for the Guard- 2 fighter squadrons, 2 heavies 

 

Thinking about retaking the TBAS in 6 months if I don’t get any interviews.

All opinions on how I’m looking are appreciated.

Is there a wait time every new user has before posting a new thread? I just made an account but wanted to post a thread.

What are recommended resources for AFOQT? I used peterson's and a guide (Complete AFOQT guide by Todd Philips) off of Amazon so far. 

For TBAS I used the flashcards and may consider buying that software that someone posted up earlier. 

Only 0.5 flight hours from a discovery flight so not sure how well I'll do given the PCSM focuses so heavily on flight hours. 

Hey mayflower09, can you update us on your TBAS/PCSM score? 

[Has AFOQT Testing Opened Back Up In Your Area?]

JohnClark, I'm in the same predicament. I cannot find a place doing testing. I'll try calling Luke and Nellis.

I did hear that Hill AFB in Utah was offering testing, but I haven't been able to get a positive contact with anyone there.

I live in Los Angeles area btw. The recruiters I did try to get ahold of did not respond to me. One AF Reserve Recruiter pretty much told me to get my PPL before contacting him lol.

I"m 30 and pursuing my PPL as of now but want to hurry and get the AFOQT/TBAS done.

Good luck everyone and thanks for posting this.
