Anyone else headed to Wright-Patt August 15th for their FC1?

I had an interview last month and here are the questions I remember although most of it's a blur: - Tell us about yourself. - How did you get started in aviation? - Why the Air Force? Why the Guard? Why this unit in particular? - You realize that you will be deployed. How do you feel about this? - What is your biggest strength/turn your biggest weakness into a strength. - What is your leadership style? - Tell us the 3 most important characteristics of a leader. - What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome? - Tell us about a time you had a disagreement with a supervisor. - You're about to fly a mission and you smell alcohol on the other pilot's breath. What do you do? - Again, why this unit? - Do you have any questions? - Why should we hire you? Make your case. Go. It was intimidating to have 6+ people in flight suits staring at you and analyzing your every word, especially if you've never interviewed this way before, but be confident. Most importantly be yourself (you've heard this a million times because it's TRUE!) Hey, they decided I was worthy of being picked up so I must have done something right. You can only prepare so much. I may not have had the best answers but I made it absolutely clear that I wanted it more than anyone else and that I have a passion for flying (dur). Good luck!
