@ryleypav I have relatively limited flight experience other than the 12 hours I currently have in my logbook, which I agree is my weakest point. I have already passed the FAA medical exam and Baltimore MEPS and finished the FAA written exam. I am currently working towards my PPL, but progress is primarily dependent on funding availability. I am still working on paying for my graduate and undergrad degrees, and progress on my PPL should increase once those are finished. I have tried reaching out to the units I am interested in to see if I could get my name/packet in front of them before the next UPT board opens, but I will continue working on getting more hours and submitting my package the next time the board comes around. I appreciate the input!

Hi all, 25M Civilian Pilot Applicant BS in Electrical Engineering 3.13 GPA MS in Electrical Engineering 3.24 GPA AFOQT: 99 Pilot 96 CSO 99 ABM 92 AA 92 Verbal and 84 Quant 84 PCSM with 12 flight hours (93 at 40-60+). I have already attended MEPS and passed my commissioning physical. Attended water survival training and dunker training at Fairchild AFB. I currently work in search and rescue as the chief engineer on the technology side for NASA. My job mainly involves leading a small team of engineers to improve SAR technology both terrestrial and in support of human space flight. I am also involved in crew recovery operations for the Artemis program. Letters of Rec: master thesis supervisor, national affairs manager of SAR, and a now-retired AF Colonel who I've known for >10 years. My goal is to fly heavies for reserves or guard (KC-135/KC-46 is in my area). I am just about starting to finalize my package before reaching out to units, and any insight on chances would be very much appreciated!
