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

Updaté for the bros. Recruiter screwed me over for a bit, but finally got that worked out.

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

Get to 70-80% on target for tracking. High as humanly possible for multitasking - keep improving. Click an answer the second the prompt finishes talking for directional orientation. Less than or around 1 second response time with 100% accuracy. I got a 97 @42 hours prior to the score change Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Just to answer the LASIK question: 6 months post-op prior to attending the IFC1, and 12 months post-op if it was a hyperopic treatment. Additionally, you need to meet pre-op conditions of what I’ve copied below directly from the waiver (really just a formality if you had no issues). Initial Flying Class (IFC I/IA/II/III/RPA Pilot) or Special Operational Duty: Pre-Operative cycloplegic refraction cannot exceed +3.00 to -8.00 in ANY meridian and cannot exceed 3.00 diopters of astigmatism with a good outcome to be non-disqualifying for all flying classes. Pre-Operative cycloplegic refraction greater than +3.00 and less than or equal to +5.00 or greater than -8.00 and less than or equal to -10.00 in ANY meridian or greater than 3.00 and less than or equal to 6.00 diopters of astigmatism is DISQUALIFYING for all flying classes and may be considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis. Astigmatism greater than 5.00 diopters will not be waived for accession/commissioning. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Hmmm. That’s a first I’ve seen. Myself and many others have purchased it and used it successfully. That’s strange that you didn’t receive a product key. You know you can access the code via their website, right? Via “My Account” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Yes, but it’s rare. It’s not often the AD recruiters send you to get an IFC1 done prior to the board. If they offer, absolutely do it. You aren’t tied down to anything until you accept a slot. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

No documentation stating you have the disease is great news for you. That means a diagnosis never happened when you apply to the Air Force. As for the history of the markers in your blood work - that’ll be up to the Air Force to decide to investigate further or not. If they even consider it an issue, they will ask for further information. I have a feeling that because there was never a diagnosis, you won’t have an issue. However, If it popped up in your flight physical/MEPS bloodwork they would for sure do additional testing/investigate if levels aren’t within normal. In my opinion (I’m not a doctor), all you need is *any* doctor to give you a written letter stating your results are normal. Then, I wouldn’t even bother presenting that to the AF unless they specifically ask for clarification. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The diagnosis will bite you if there is a paper trail. Worst case - I would recommend looking up the Air Force waiver guide and cross-checking what was diagnosed to that. If there is no record of it… well… it never happened. In the meantime, I would work on gathering paperwork with detailed proof of it being a misdiagnosis (doctors providing written documentation). Make sure you study up for the AFOQT and TBAS. I’m sure you will do well as long as you find a squadron you mesh with personality wise Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Your job is required to let you take any time off for military obligations for up to 5 years total. You do not need to burn PTO. Some offer differential pay. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Rushing single-handedly is the most important factor. Without question. However, simply attending isn’t what makes it important. The ability to mesh with the culture and building a good relationship/reputation with the squadron at the meet and greets is the difference maker. That is the #1 most important factor of any candidate. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
