I'll let somebody else confirm, but I was told by several people that science doesn't really count towards any composite scores. If you look up what makes up each composite score, science isn't part of any of them. See if you can confirm that with others and then if true, focus your efforts elsewhere. https://access.afpc.af.mil/pcsmdmz/Form T/a_AFOQT Pamphlet 2014_20150825.docx

I was also trying to find THE book that would best prepare me, but from my own experience preparing for the test, and from seeing reviews of several materials others used, it seems like most people use a wide variety of materials to prepare. A lot of people seem to use GRE prep books as well. I did and thought it helped quite a bit with math and verbal. Now my math score was pretty bad, but it was more because I ran out of time rather than not knowing how to work the problems. The best advice I got is to do timed tests. Do them over and over and over until you can finish everything within the time allotted.

So you can apply to the AFRC board without having gone for your FC1?

Which areas did you do poorly on the first time?

Peterson's has an online timed practice test. Check it out if you haven't already: https://www.nelnetsolutions.com/dod/default.aspx?refURL=www.PetersonsDoDLibrary.com&v=af

For a civilian applying to ANG/AFRES, anyone know roughly how long it takes for a PRK waiver to be approved?

SC just sent out non-select emails for interviews.

I just put mine in a two pocket folder and put that into the usps envelope.

No idea. I got an email saying I wasn't selected.

Just in case anyone missed it, 158th FW (VT F-35s) interview non-select notices went out yesterday.

Thanks. Sent you a PM

Yep. Was going to post the same. Thanks for the follow-up.

I sent emails to two different contacts over there and haven't yet gotten a response. If you get it let me know and I'll do the same.

What's the latest on Reserve KC-10s? How many days a month is expected out of a traditional reservist? How often deployed and tdy?

Interview notifications went out today.

Anyone hear from the 78th ARS?

Not true according to the recruiter I'm currently working with.

Yep, got the confirmation but not the email from the 18th. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. Never got that email.

When was that?

I understand there are numerous factors that might cause flights to be rescheduled, but it's good to hear that overall it seems possible to do it all in one block. The reason I asked is because down the line I might want to commute to the unit, versus the airline job, which you seem to contraindicate. I know commuting should be avoided for the airline job, but what are the negatives of having to do the same for the unit, to the point that might make one want to quit?

Participating strictly as a traditional Guard/Reserve pilot in an airlift or tankers unit: 1) Are you able to do all of your required flights for the month in one block, or do you have to break it up throughout the month? 2) For those who have a civilian flying career, most specifically airlines, do you fly your normal civilian schedule then use your time off to fly for your unit? I know service is service, but it seems like that would be an easy way to burnout and would also place a burden on the family. Do most people drop some of the civilian flying to do mil flying, and then still have some days off? Thanks

Mine was downloaded within 24 hours as well.

Awesome. Great job!
