Indiana: is not allowing visits due to ops tempo

New Orleans: hires 3 people per board

Will keep everyone updated on whatever comes my way

We might hire more if we get a good group of applicants.  We may hire less if they aren't as strong.  As a general rule we'd like to hire 3-4 per board in Nola, doesn't always work that way.

    Anyone know if our favorite Buckley applicant got the call?

  • You're not going to like what I have to tell you, but if you take it to heart, it will help you in the future. Your attitude is 100% the opposite of what it should be. You need to debrief yourself on

We typically have 25-30 for each drill weekend leading up to interviews and we usually try to interview no more than 5 or 6. 

If you get invited in the first place..

Lol, good one. 

Has anyone else received an email from the 181st AS in Fort Worth saying that you would be contacted by the selecting official to set up an interview? It was kind of a bizarre email. Just curious if anyone has heard anything else.

I received the same around three weeks ago. Haven't heard back yet.

Anyone know Buckley's general hiring schedule? Also any other pertinent information would be cool too

Who is going to be in Oregon the weekend of Jan. 12th? Also when is the Ohio F-16 unit going to open their board up? 

Hey man! I'll be there Jan 12th for their meet and greet. If you want to meet up before hand let me know.

It's just heartbreaking because OK and Bama were my top places to be. I'm unsure what to do with myself now to be honest. I can't believe this happened to me. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've done everything I can and it all resulted in being told no and that hurts. It's pretty unfair that some people get interviews and others don't. You should at least be given the chance to interview before being shot down. This whole process makes so many people anxious and unhealthy. There should be a better way to do it.

Not the attitude I want in my fighter squadron and its ignorant to all the other possibilities out there.

If you think this place is totally anonymous you'd be wrong.

Anyone heard from Fort Worth?

Still nothing...

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!  Hope everyone has a good one today!

If anyone's going to be in Klamath Falls tomorrow night and wants to grab dinner and a beer let me know - I should be getting in sometime between 7-8. Otherwise if anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears!

111 ATKW in Horsham PA (less than 20 miles north of Philadelphia) is having an RPA board next month. If anyone is interested, PM me and I can provide the details. 

Pease ANGB in New Hampshire is having a Rated and Non-Rated board in March. Paperwork due in Feb. Link:

https://www.157arw.ang.af.mil/Units/157th-Operations-Group/133rd-Air-Refueling-Squadron/

Pilot hiring link at the bottom. Just left AD and have been a part timer for 2 months now. Great unit with great people. Candidate will go directly to the KC-46. No Tanker experience required.  UPT age waivers possible, but not guaranteed. PM me if interested and I’ll get you in touch with the POC. Cheers. 

Is anyone going to Savannah for the meet and greet this month and want to meet up while there? Or if you're in the Nashville area hit me up.

Is anyone else going to Boise for the interviews this weekend? I get in on Thursday if anyone wants to meet up for a beer!

 

I'll be there Thursday around 1300L.  Congrats on the interview!  I'd be willing to meet up with ya.  Message me for the details.

Oh sh!t Boise just had a board? I didn't see it on Bogidope, do you have to contact them directly to get board info? 

Yeah, packages were due back in October.  I only found out by asking the 190th personally when their next boards would be held.  Shared the info with my fellow interviewees during the 107th FS boards but did not post it on here as I had not used this site before.  When all else fails, never be afraid to just call the squadron and ask!!! 😀

I'll be landing in the early afternoon on Thursday, but I may not be available Thursday night. Shoot me a message and we'll figure it out.

Gents - I am planning to do a Palace Front and already looking at units I am interested in applying (West Coast).  Story short,  did not get an AD Pilot slot so I pursuing Guard/Reserve because... of course I want to fly!

Awesome! If you haven’t already, I’d start a “What are my chances” thread. You can get some good advice there too!

Check bogidope for upcoming boards too! Fresno and Oregon both have packets due at the beginning of February.
