Recent U.S. Citizen turned 24, what are my chances for ANG AFRES a year from now?

Featured Replies

Hello, as you may be able to tell, this is my first post. Before I ruffle any feathers by my sheer ignorance, I just wanted to say that the past 5 years I have struggled to make headway with any moves towards a career in aviation and military due to not being a U.S. Citizen (from UK), as well as lacking the funds. Since my circumstances have changed, I hope to put in 100% over the next year or so to be competitive for an ANG/AFRES slot. I am sorry for not posting test scores because I only just became a citizen! I just wanted to have preliminary confirmation/denial that I am 1. Young enough, 2. Have enough education/experience, 3. The right attitude, - as a first step.

Education: 

ASc Computer Science (4.0 GPA)

BSc Secure Computing and Information Assurance/Cybersecurity (4.0 GPA)

(Both from accredited U.S Universities)

Work Experience

1+ years in IT/Cybersecurity

Flight Experience:

1 hour. Recently registered for lessons towards PPL (intend to fly 2-3 hours a week)

Medical Hiccups:

None at all, good vision, workout 5/6 times a week, etc.

AFOQT: Pending

BAT: Pending

PCSM: Pending

 

 

Assuming citizenship is not a factor then your age is also not a big factor. I'm going to OTS->UPT soon and I'm 30. The age limit for UPT is 33.

You'll definitely want that PPL before you're competitive. And the test scores can change everything.

If you want it, then go and get it.

@Jester203 Best of luck, I did not realize that this was the age limit. Thank you for your input, it gives me some more motivation to get to it.
