February 1, 20178 yr Right, so here are my numbers, AFOQT: 96/89/76/95/49 PCSM: 93 GPA: 2.82 Bachelor of Applied Science: Technology and Management. All my bachelor's classes were taken online while I was working on my parent's farm. I also have an associate's in professional aviation with a GPA of 3.2 if that means anything. Flight Experience: 299.2 hours. Private, multi, instrument, commercial, with high horsepower and complex endorsements. I'm also enlisted (E-3) with the unit I'm applying at. I work as an Airfield Manager in the OPS department, so I know the majority of the pilots on a friendly basis. Edited February 1, 20178 yr by thetoddg
February 1, 20178 yr Looking pretty good overall. GPA is a bit on the low side. Associated GPA does not matter. Being enlisted and having face time helps as long as you are a good dude. Now you have to show them how much you want it. Best of luck to you!
February 2, 20178 yr impressive flight experience! Your scores look pretty good. Get some good LoRs and volunteer experience and you should be solid
February 16, 20178 yr Author Well, I was selected for an interview. Looks like they are going to interview 25 candidates the Saturday of next drill, then interview their top 10 that Sunday. Plus there are a few social gatherings planned for the Friday beforehand and Saturday evening.
February 26, 20178 yr Congrats on the interview! Now you need to practice your interview over and over. This will set you apart from the rest.

I've been cruising the threads, and it looks like the name of the game is keeping it real and honest. That works for me. My parents were fans of 'gotcha' questions, so now I always figure that people already know the truth when they ask me stuff; which keeps me honest I suppose. I'm not too sure what to wear to the informal gatherings. I'm thinking slacks and a nice jumper. For the interview, I scored a 3-piece suit for $30 at Goodwill, and it mostly fits. That and a fresh haircut and clean shave, I should be looking half decent.

What you wear for the social doesn't really matter, as long as you look decent. No T-shirts or ripped jeans, but other than that it doesn't matter. The pilots are more concerned with getting to know you. Jeans or slacks are fine with a button down shirt, rolled up sleeves. Good to go.
February 27, 20178 yr You're enlisted with the unit you're interviewing with right? I'd wear dress blues to your interview...

I enlisted after I graduated college last June, but I haven't shipped yet. I'm an E-3 on paper only. Been rocking Student Flight and job shadowing the OPs dept for eight months now. So no blues for me.
