Straight t-1 old fart at 32 and likes to drink cheap beer.

Wondering how hard would it be for a reserve Heavy bubba to get into fighters down the road.

Dude who cares how difficult it is. Just get it done. If becoming an officer is your goal then this should not even matter. Study up and get it done!

Selections were made already.

^what he said plus add some flight time under your belt.

Drones?

Makes sense. Thanks bro.

Wouldn't having the FC1 class approved better your chances of selection?

Hey Bros if I summit my package to the upcoming AFRC board without the FC1 done would it hurt my chances? I already been hired by a unit. Should I wait to get the FC1 done?

Anyone heard of this?

Yea dude like WTF is that? 99.. too weird. LOL

Hey, thanks for this bro! I started filling out all these forms and hope to be on the next board here in January. My recruiter said he wants to send me to it without my medical done. I just don't know if I can get rejected because of that. What do you think?

Sometimes scores are not all bud. I think it comes down to "can you be a bro". You are still young and keep a positive attitude and you got this bro.

Thanks brotha!! Hope all is well on your side.

Update: I was hired by my #1 unit. Now my package is going to be sent to the next AFRC board in January. Any tips would be helpful with that. Thank you.

Anyone know what are the dates for the November AFRC boards?

Thanks, man! Yea while I wait the 6 months I plan on reaching out to all the units I can get a hold of. Hope all is well on your side.

Ok everyone quick updates. Took the tbas and ended up with a score of 92. What do you guys think?

Philipe it's hard to predict what the needs of the Air Force are going to be by the time you are fully qualified to apply for a pilot position. You are doing the right by doing your research but by the time you get your degree and past all the test it's going to be over 10 years. I suggest, get good grades in high school and get into a good college or even the air force academy. Once you are in college try ROTC and see how you like it. Also don't forget about the OCS route. But for now just focus on doing good in school. Also you can join the Civil air patrol.

Everyone I just want to say thank you for the great feedback you guys have given me. I will for sure retake the AFOQT when I am allowed to do so again. In the mean time I am starting to rush some units and see what happens. Once again thank you everyone.

Agreed. In the mean time while I wait the 6 months I am going to try and rush some units and see what happens.

Thanks bud! I appreciate the feedback and will do.

Hey everyone I just took the AFOQT and I am a bit disappointed with my scores. At the moment I am a regional pilot with about 1800 hours and 5 months from upgrading to captain. I am pursuing a guard/ reserve heavy unit. P83 /N30 /AA17 /V22 /Q20 Bachelor's degree in Aviation with a 2.5 GPA Prior service Army (enlisted) Alot of volunteer time with the civil air patrol and different organizations in the aviation community. 27 years old. I am scheduled to take the tbas next week. I would not want to take the AFOQT again but if it needs to be done I'll do it. What do you guys think? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time. Have a great day.

Good for you. I am glad things worked out at the end. We need people like you to share their success stories here. Good luck on the next chapter and keep us posted.

Does anybody know if the 932aw out of Scott AFB is hiring for upt? They fly the c40s but I have been getting conflicting info.
