There is another one happening, but they're only inviting the top 75 people out of the ~200 who submitted an application last Friday due to some capacity limitations on base. They're supposed to send invites out tonight to those 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeydork Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Thru the vine meet and greet mouth invites went out for the 120th, if someone who got one wants to confirm. I am trying to cancel all my reservations now, might have a two hundred dollar hole in my pocket for a hotel tho if someone who got an invite wants it.

NotApilot Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Late post, but got the call earlier this month from the 130th RQS at Moffet Field that they selected me along with one other person to fly with them. If you're the other person shoot me a message! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

163FS_UPT Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I have been receiving a lot of emails asking if we will be hosting any rushing events or allowing visitations. In order to be able to evaluate each applicant equally and without potential bias, we will not be hosting or allowing base visits during our application window. If selected for an interview, you will have plenty of time to get to know the Blacksnake’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rated Flyer 4 Life Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Has anyone heard of guys/gals who were rated pilots in other airframes who then later transitioned over to a guard/reserve fighter slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has happened. Definitely much lower chances though if you’re coming from a non-fighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The posting said interview candidate announcements would come between Dec. 1st-5th. So I'm assuming we didn't get interviews. I did try emailing them for feedback but haven't heard anything yet from that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely much lower chances though if you’re coming from a non-fighter I wonder if it’s because they only have a certain amount of transition slots available per year and then they want to make sure someone can get through the training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 TX slots are not numerous, chances of success are pretty much 100% if your transitioning from another fighter (vs. coming from a non-fighter background), and if you do TX from a non-fighter, you’re starting over as the “young, inexperienced” guy…except you’re a Maj instead of a LT/young Capt. Those are the three big hurdles. Not impossible to get past, but it’s hard, even for the greatest bros out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
