Yup. A guy I'm with in OTS right now is a major airline guy hired into a fighter unit

To my knowledge, if you got a slot in the ANG/Reserves while in UPT you would have to acquire approval to be released from AD (not sure what approval authority is there). Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Whatever you do, do NOT do option 2. Since you already have the AD slot, I suggest taking it. Further, I’ve heard of people swapping out to guard/reserves in the beginning of UPT - that’s something you can look in to. Would probably have more success trying to swap back to the old into that way anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

To be clear - contract duration is the same for AD and reserves for pilots. 10 years post training. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

That’s correct. 6 months for all myopia cases and 1 year for all hyperopic cases. As long as you are within the +3 to -8 range pre-op you are good. Outside of that range is waiverable on a case by case basis if it doesn’t exceed +5 or -10. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

If you’re currently in, you will not have to go through MEPS again. They will just transfer you over and then schedule the flight physical Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

They typically put you in a random AFSC and you just chill for drill. Making corn, filling the bar, etc. usually the first action is to gain you prior to IFC1. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I mean absolutely no offense, but you’re likely not hitting it off with them socially. Willing to guarantee you that this is the issue. Yes, scores are important... but that’s something that can be overlooked if they like you a lot. I would reflect - honestly - on how genuine your social experiences have been. Secondly, I would stop excluding the allocations to your regional area. Consider expanding the search. Edit: Your age, scores, and lack of PPL are all negative things working against you. You *have* to make up for that by being extraordinary in other areas. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Honestly, it’ll probably help you. It’s a clear demonstration of your ability to adapt and overcome while exemplifying humility. The Air Force lovesssss gritty shit where people work their ass off in the face of adversity. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

There is no emergency situation subtest. And your numbers look good - I would keep up with what you’re doing and just try to beat yourself. Based on your performance you should do very well. I had a 97 pilot as well. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
