Current UPT student set to graduate T-6s in near future. With fighter drops out of T-38 becoming few and far between for AD guys/gals, I was curious what options/if any exist to get picked up by ANG/AFRC unit.

 

I have seen prior postings for units listed as “UPT” and other for “Rated only.” I am curious if any ANG/AFRC units view a soon to be UPT grad as worth investment in speeding up the hiring timeline and could pseudo fill those “rated” slots because of the more aggressive timeline?

 

Does such a thing exist? I still have a 10 year service commitment but not sure if that could be moved to service in the guard or reserves.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

You wouldn’t qualify for Rated Only slots. Those are for pilots who have gone through T-38’s, IFF, B-course, and are qualified in whatever airframe ie F-16’s.

Best advice if you want to fly fighters is to keep grinding it out and perform at your best. Don’t worry about the drops just worry about tracking 38’s at this point.
