Auspicious Aviator

For sure, feel free to send me a PM and I can give you an idea of what my package looks like.

Interview invites started going out last week for the 100th. I’m not sure if they will continue or if all have been sent already. Best of luck!

Anyone else still waiting to hear back from Hawaii?

@7thokagethank you for the feedback. My past letters have been addressed neutrally however I will be sure to personalize future LORs. Do you think it is okay if LORs do not have a signature? I only ask because it would be hard to have a word document that I could edit for each unit and also have a signature. I will also continue calling units in hopes of getting some face time. In your experience, is it reasonable to ask to visit on the initial call or does that tend to come after some back and forth conversation?

Thank you in advance for reading. I am looking for any advice to augment my package as well as answers to a few specific questions: I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from the University of Georgia. I have a degree in Finance with a minor in Aerospace Studies and a 3.85 GPA. I have a 99 pilot AFOQT, 93 PCSM, a PPL, and 85 flight hours. I also held a variety of jobs and volunteer positions in college ranging anywhere from bartender to intern at a special needs outreach. My current job is in Texas with Bell Helicopter however I am still intent on flying for the Guard or Reserve. Specifically, I have been reaching out to any fighter units in the South that will speak with me. As I am waiting for boards to open up, I am curious if anyone has some advice to help my package stand out? I am open to any suggestions or even another set of eyes to read over what I have. As far as specific questions: 1) How important is the recency of Letters of Recommendation? I am very happy with mine however they were written about a year and a half ago. Should I update them? 2) Has anyone used the bogidope consulting packages and if so, are they worth the money? 3) I have called most of the units I am interested in with very little luck. Should I continue to call or are units trending away from taking cold calls?
