@admdelta @pilotcrum @badger23 Thanks a ton for the help and correction here; my sincerest apologies if I introduced any confusion. I definitely see what y’all mean here now, and each of you are spot on. Best of luck to all who apply!

Ahh but that's a letter of interest! The application calls for a letter of intent.

Lo, good call. I goofed. My b. 

Does anybody that got a Tulsa interview wanna dm me? Got questions. 

Also... anybody got word on what's happening with Toledo?

So the 159th Fighter Squadron in Florida requires a letter of intent for their applications. Is that just a weird way of saying cover letter or is that actually its own distinct thing?

A few units I have applied to have asked for them. Pretty similar to the letter of interest mentioned before and the letter of intent example. Big thing is to explicitly say exactly what you are applying for: unit, location, airframe, board date (like Summer 2020). The units that put the most emphasis on these letters were the ones that had postings for CSOs or other airframes, so they must have had issues where folks didn't make it clear what they were applying for.

it's getting pretty ugly out there. everybody here stay safe.

Just got word that the 457th online meet-and-greet is this Thursday. Quick! What do I put up on the wall behind me to make myself look cool! 😄

Absolutely! What locations are you looking at? 

Any location that is willing to hire me, but my only if they let me commute from Hawaii. I got a military contractor job that let's me make my own schedule.

Having done a Zoom interview relatively recently just have a clean wall with nothing super distracting behind you (I had an old family American flag behind me) and make sure the lighting it good.  Just give it a test run first with your camera and where you intend to do it.

I was mostly joking but thanks! I'll do it in my office here at home which is pretty clean.

I don't have a green screen, can I just email them a video of my first solo in a C150? 😄

I was going to just tailor my cover letter for the letter of intent and call it good.  I'm sure there's plenty of better reasons for them not to hire me than that lol. 

 

While we're on the topic of that board though, does anyone know if the Point Credit Summary applies to active duty or just existing Guard/Reserve folks?

I had the same question about a point credit summary. I am AD Air Force and have never heard of it before. I talked to someone in the guard and they said I don't have one, so I think it is for Guard/Reserve folks only

That’s correct. The points summary reflect our completed drill weekends and annual training.

My guess is the B-1 unit will send out invites this coming week considering the interview date is less than 2 weeks away.

Any word from the 104 FS out of Baltimore?

UPT board is a ways out, but to anyone who wants an early head start.

Does anyone have a contact at the 134th ARW in Tennessee? I'd like to drop them a line.
