So did Polkamp (Polchamp) get hired yet? We all know with that type of video you aren't longed to be in the circuit too long. Who has the details?

I’ve been wondering the same thing. It’s been like a year now right? Someone must have snatched him up!

    Anyone know if our favorite Buckley applicant got the call?

Does anyone know the status on the AFRC UFT Board for May? I have not heard anything from my recruiter or unit. Correct me if I am wrong but from my understanding, the AFRC board is just a formality and most sponsored applicants are selected as long as they are qualified. I am just trying to prep myself for the worst case scenario as I do not like surprises.

Noob Q. If board interview attire is indicated as business casual, does that mean wearing a tie with the suit is optimal? As opposed to just a suit with unbuttoned collar. 

Asking for a friend...lol

I thought business casual meant khakis and a button down? I get that you'd rather be a bit too formal than too low key, but suit and tie??

Asking for NJ interviews?

I took business casual to be khakis, nice shoes, button up shirt, and a tie. Some wore suits with no tie and an unbuttoned collar. I just went on the higher end of business casual to be a bit safe.

Does anyone have any information for a good point of contact for the Toledo ANG 180th FW? Trying to see when the next board is. Thanks.

I'm also waiting to hear back from them. Will share if I hear anything and ask the same! Good luck to the applicants!

Hey guys, might be a noob question here:

Do some squadrons not allow applicants to rush? For example, this particular squadron wrote this note "Individual tours are not done for prospective UFT candidates during the period of time we are accepting applications."

Does this mean we can only rush before the applications begin? Or we just cant have individual tours but can still rush?

Thanks!

Good question. Even though one may live locally to a particular squadron, the answer can still be “yes”, for many reasons that depend on their interests/reasons.

Commonly it can be due to the fact that it’s expensive for people to travel so they’re looking out for the candidates. Also, some squadrons can have hundreds of applicants which I imagine can be a logistics nightmare if the same amount decided to rush.

These are just some reasons, but from my experience, this is what I’ve heard first hand from some units. My advice, make that application standout. Good luck to you!

Is a joint board interview different than a single airframe interview?  I would expect it to be longer, but any pointers on what to expect?  Especially in terms of expressing which airframe interests you the most.  I wouldn't want to shoot my chances down for one airframe by showing too much interest in another.

I've done both. Most of the questions are similar, but in a joint board interview they will ask you your preference of airframe. I'd be prepared to answer honestly while keeping in mind that there will be representatives from each airframe on the interviewing panel. Focus on the reasons why you want to fly your first choice rather than focusing on reasons you don't want to fly the other options represented, if that makes sense. In other words, don't shit all over the planes/squadrons that aren't of interest to you. 

Good luck!
