Any suggestions on better regionals? I hear compass thrown around at the SQ quite a bit. "I hear" is great, but actual hands on knowledge is better... Either way, I'm pretty excited to get a start and open a new chapter. Ready to get back to Texas if I can. Cheers to you MF's. Always been helpful since I was a wannabe till now... A rated wannabe... Edit: noted PSA, Compass bumps above.

Using the regional as a stepping stone. Checking 2 boxes: ATP, 121 experience.

Looking for some good info on interview and first year stuff. Standard questions... How do you like it? How is/was your tempo on reserve... Ect. Cheers!

Whatever... good on him. She aint a troll that's for sure.

Any scenario across the board, give it time, someone will bitch and complain.

Bummer. Was hoping for a real total recall chick... https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/09/23/report-woman-who-claimed-to-have-third-breast-added-is-fake/#.VCIycUI-Mjs.mailto Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Go guard early. I had a similar situation in which I was exploring alternative options for flying in the military. I pretty much exhausted all service options to get into pilot training. Primary was USAF but I was open to NAVY, Marines, and the Army. I had basically blanketed my application throughout including reserve components. While all this was going on, I was flying and going to AFROTC through a cross-town agreement. It was painful, but got me a set of wings. Through all of that, I was visiting at any guard/reserve unit that would allow me to. Met some great dudes and received some great advice from the guys that were once in my shoes. I ended up not going active, got out of AFROTC (because it was 45 minutes away and interfering with my class schedule (quibbling)) and pursuing the guard unit in which I fit best, and it worked out. It's not an easy process, but it's not cosmic either. At this point, you have options and time. I know that sounds crazy, but while you are going through the process of college and ROTC, you can explore the Guard and Reserves. 4 years is a substantial time to go to a few units, meet the folks and really have a feel for if you want to be there. You can then decide which route is best for you. At the end of the day, you will have a good handle on all of the options available to you. Like a few have mentioned before, the guard is like a club. Get to know the people, don't be a bag and you are pretty much there. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the guard process. CHEERS

Can it drive me home from the bar? That's the real question at hand. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Yes, that's it. Start your military career off by going straight to the man. Yes, but you are not on their level. Wing CC's appoint appropriate positions within the wing/squadron to administer the hiring boards and make recommendations on who to hire. There is a process in place. What makes you think you are special enough to contact the man directly and circumvent his process for filling vacancies? You might as well spit in the face of those running the board. Going around them for your perceived benefit sends the same message. Depending on how the boss is feeling that day when he gets your letter may actually do more harm than good. Use the tips others have mentioned above. The absolute best way to gain a UPT slot is to go to the SQ and hang out. Meet the bros you will be flying with. You will benefit both in the hiring process and in the process of finding the unit/airframe you truly want to fly. Just a thought FWIW.

Drink beer! It helps prevent stones.

Let me clarify... No to two piece flight suits. nrodgsxr said it. I may be flying a heavy, but I damn sure don't want some 2 piece multicam old navy cargo pocket looking flight suit.
