After some inspirational reading from @FDNYOldGuy and the fact that my desire to both fly and serve grows larger each day I ended up knocking out the AFOQT/TBAS and graduate from lurker status to member here. This is an incredible site but I wanted to make sure I was even in the ballpark of qualified before filling up another "old guy" thread as I am 34.
PCSM: 99
AFOQT: 99/93/86/92/70
PPL w/ Instrument: 250 hours
GPA: 3.43 in Finance
FAA First Class Medical. Good physical shape.
I am currently a VP in sales/development for a medical device company. I'm hoping that background proves I am capable of taking on work and leading teams.
My goal would be to fly any heavy and not picky on region. The Texas units make sense seeing as how I was born and raised here but I would welcome the adventure of a move.
A few years ago I would have thought I had shot but now with Covid, the training backlog, and flood of applications I'm wondering if the old guy status will even be viable?
I sincerely appreciate any input or recommendations anyone would have. Its cool to see such a collection of successful people in one spot and know I have a lot to learn.
Thanks for reading.
