Hello all,
Would like to get any and all feedback about my chances of getting picked up by a heavy unit. Here is my profile:
Age: 28 YO (turning 29 in a month)
PCSM: 75 (with 12 hours) (I'll probably try and retake the TBAS)
AFOQT: Pilot: 99 Nav:98 AA:90 V:94 Q:72
Education: MBA w/3.4 GPA, Economics undergrad w/ 3.6 GPA (Both from FSU)
LOR: Former AF supply Officer who was my old boss, Former Navy Supply Officer who was an old coworker, Florida state congressman I interned for in college, and also a letter of appreciation from the CO of the Naval Observatory when I worked there (not sure if I can use that but figure it wouldn't hurt to throw on an app)
Extracurricular: Surfing, snowboarding, golf, tennis. Volunteer at the local homeless shelter to
Job: Was a Contract Specialist for GSA working on DoD contracts (Until Elon DOGED me hard)
The only thing I feel I am missing is a PPL. Just got laid off from my government job and don't want to blow 20k of my dwindling savings that I might need to survive and also don't really have the time because all my waking hours are looking for a job. Totally understand that the PPL shows you like flying and can do it, but with my situation right now I feel like it would be very unwise. I have always wanted to be a pilot and have loved every second I've been in the air I will add.
What are my chances of getting picked up by a heavy unit? I'm a pretty social person and at least I think I'm cool so feel like I could do decent in any interview. Not picky on airframe at all or location for the most part, save Alaska and the few units that are 5 hours from any city of 100k+
Really appreciate any feedback or advice!!
