Keep doing your part. It ebbs and flows on how quickly things go. I heard a rumor that reserve and guard units are losing pilot slots to active duty because of the giant need right now. Let me clarify need. They need the pilot slots because active duty AF (rotc, academy, OTS) are severely overmanned with bodies. And the OTS route is usually what they slow to a trickle or all together to manage flow on ROTC and academy. I heard ROTC is trying hard to send dudes to guard and reserve because there is no where to put them. There are even claims of ROTC units letting dudes just go from their commitment before commissioning and letting them go with a paid for 4 year degree. Apparently there is no other place to put these people. 1st. It’s just something I heard and can’t verify. 2nd. It’s not unusual for OTS to go down to a trickle to deal with Manning. 3rd. Regardless of all the above. I’d recommend guard or reserve. 4th. It may just be a crappy recruiter or MEPS. Keep trying. Don’t stop if you truly want to volunteer for service.
