    An early what are my chances (Mid 20s edition)

    in What Are My Chances?

    The enthusiasm is great. But there are 200+ applicants to a fighter board with the same attitude. Ivy league graduates, lawyers, doctors, pilots with thousands of hours, and applicants in the unit all of whom have great scores.  The likely only reason i got hired was because i was a crew chief in the unit, and had a PPL. A civilian without a PPL faces an extremely uphill battle. Again, not impossible. Even getting a UPT slot with AD is extremely difficult. Best of luck.

    I have no idea what gaming PC's sell for but flight training will usually case $150 per hour. I got picked up in December, and i don't think anyone that interviewed did not have a PPL. Even at 99.99% of heavy units a PPL is a minimum even if not explicitly stated. Getting a PPL is crazy expensive ($6,000-$10,000), but realistically anymore getting an interview without one is very unlikely even with your great scores. 

    Can anyone give recent FC1/MFS Experience?

    in Aviation Medicine

    Posted

    Thought I would pay it forward and give my FC1 experience the week of 7 Feb 2022.

    Day 1:

    - Blood Draw/Urinalysis

    - Height, Weight, Sitting Height

    - Near/Far Acuity

    -Depth Perception

    -Color Vision

    - Eye scans/go over scans with optometrist 

    -Eye dilation/scans with eyes dilated

    - Eye Pressure

    - Vitals

    - Hearing

    - Reading about Test 

    - Medical History

    - Dental x-rays/exam

    Day 2:

    - Flight doc Consult

    - Neuro/Psych exam

    Day 3:

    - EKG

    Day 4:

    - All cleared to go home

    Overall i had a really great experience at WP, and the docs and people are super great. There were 21 in my group most of which were ROTC. Some advice i would give is to visit the dentist before your visit because he is very particular, and will not sign off unless you get dental work done which some in my group had to do when they returned home. It easily could have been done in two days if not one so be prepared to spend lots of time sitting around. I don't know of anyone in my group who was disqualified, so try not to stress too much. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Hope this helps.

    I have had a pretty straight forward and seamless process thus far, so hopefully NGB approval does not take an eternity. 

     

     

    New AFOQT retake standards

    in Pilot Selection Process

    Posted

    Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not? I had recently heard through the rumor mill that your best AFOQT scores (except pilot and nav) will be the ones that count after your second retake. Has anyone else heard this? Meaning if you scored a 50 on verbal your first test but a 30 your second the 50 will be the one that counts.
