June 28, 20178 yr Age: Just turned 24 College: Graduating in May 2018 possibly December 2018 Major: Sports and Society, Economics GPA: 2.9, will be above 3.0 before graduation Service: 3 years enlisted part time ANG fighter unit, crew chief Military Achievements: Airmen of the Quarter for the Wing, got F-16 Incentive ride out of it. BMT Element Leader Volunteering: Wright Flight Pilot and Volunteer, American Cancer Society, American Red Cross (Donate blood every drill possible), Veterans Center at my University Flight hours: 300+ PPL, HP, working on instrument rating LORS: Major General, Brig General, University Professor Legacy: Father Lt. Col. (Ret) A-10, F-16 Pilot Planning on applying to ANG fighter units only, best chance is with my home unit because we only hire from within, but options are always open to go elsewhere. Kept in touch with my squadron and group commander (both 3000+ hour pilots) so they know who I am when the time comes to apply. As well as other pilots on the base that have done the enlisted to pilot process. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks. Elvis Edited June 28, 20178 yr by elvis
June 29, 20178 yr I'm not trying to be a dick here, but do you really have to ask? As long as you don't absolutely bomb the AFOQT and TBAS you are in a far better starting point than probably majority of others who are applying. Rush the squadron, work hard on drill weekends, and be a good bro in your shop.

Having a year or so till applying, trying to get a small headstart on any changes that could help my chances. Sent from my Pixel XL using Baseops Network Forums mobile app

A little friendly advice if you ever do get a pilot slot, kid: Shut your man pleaser and listen more than you speak. You're not as funny as you think you are and no one cares what you have to say.

July 14, 20178 yr Looks awesome man! Study hard and keep being a stellar enlisted dude. If it isn't a go the first time, try again. Keep being persistent, but not annoying. Ask a Capt in the FS to look over your app. Face-time never hurts. Good luck!
