hpfulguardbum Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Did anyone apply to 175TH wing MD ANG (A-10 slot) board and if so have you heard anything? I'm new to the application process, it was my first packet that I've sent off.

AV1AT0R Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Did anyone apply to 175TH wing MD ANG (A-10 slot) board and if so have you heard anything? I'm new to the application process, it was my first packet that I've sent off. I submitted a package. I think they're reviewing packages at the moment. You'll hear something maybe in a couple weeks or so.
thoma015 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I interviewed with the guys in Montgomery 2 years ago (didn't get selected), if you have specific questions PM me. Edited December 5, 2014 by thoma015
xcraftllc Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Got the word from Montgomery, I'm selected, now I just need to get outta the Army stat! I owe a lot of people for all the help I've received over the years, not the least of which came from people on Baseops.net. Congratulations to whoever else gets selected (there should be two slots), I'll see you at the unit! For those who don't, it was good hangin out with you guys down there, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me! Edited December 10, 2014 by xcraftllc
SnakeLegsBanks Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Just gonna keep tryin' and look into active duty.... AD is hiring pilots again if you are really interested. Just got a call from the recruiter I worked with a year ago asking if I wanted to re-apply. Said they were looking at a short window for building packagaes.

dvlax40 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 AD is hiring pilots again if you are really interested. Just got a call from the recruiter I worked with a year ago asking if I wanted to re-apply. Said they were looking at a short window for building packagaes. id like to know where that info came from. the last numbers i saw for this FY was zero pilots from OTS for UPT.
xcraftllc Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 id like to know where that info came from. the last numbers i saw for this FY was zero pilots from OTS for UPT. I was speaking to an MG from the AFRC at an airshow about a month ago, telling him that I was applying to the guard. He also said the AD will be hiring more in the near future. Also the days of people being forced into UAVs should be over.

agizzle Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 id like to know where that info came from. the last numbers i saw for this FY was zero pilots from OTS for UPT. Agree. I was accepted to the board that convened a couple months ago as an RPA pilot (though I declined the offer) as there were no reg pilot slots for FY15 or 16. But the AF isn't very good at managing their force accurately so I wouldn't be surprised if they miscalculated their needs and suddenly needed pilots again.

I was going to apply to that board but then my recruiter said there were only RPA slots. She she called me some months later and said they have regular pilot slots so I applied. An officer recruiter confirmed this. Can you ever find out how many and what kind of pilots they need (fighters vs. heavies)? I'd kinda prefer heavies...
highflier Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Overheard that there may be another OTS board in AUG 2015. Hopefully that one will have pilot slots too. Edited December 14, 2014 by highflier

Yossarian1234 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Yes, that one. They're having the board on Jan 23. Either they have pilot slots or I've been grossly misled. Recent quote from my recruiter: "I am very optimistic that you will get a pilot slot!" Well, none of y'all seemed to know about this, so.... less competition maybe? Muahaha.

Air Force Lesson #1 if a recruiters lips are moving.... they are typically not telling the truth. Lets hope that's not the case
rancormac Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Wrong thread. Regardless, all you need the recruiter to do is sign the paperwork and send it up. Also, its typically the recruiter that fills out the assessment of you after the O-6 interview.
12xu2a3x3 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Yep, moving over to the OTS thread to talk about it. Any one here apply to the 124th FW board?
FlatSpin Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Any one here apply to the 124th FW board? Yup. Got a confirmation that they received my packet too. Invitations should be out the first week of Jan. Cant wait. 2
12xu2a3x3 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Yup. Got a confirmation that they received my packet too. Invitations should be out the first week of Jan. Cant wait. Good stuff. My buddy is a crew chief there, seems like a pretty tight unit

Recent quote from my recruiter: "I am very optimistic that you will get a pilot slot!" Well, none of y'all seemed to know about this, so.... less competition maybe? Muahaha. My recruiter had a similar comment... guess we'll find out February 19th. To stay somewhat on topic for this forum, I applied to the 124th and they have my packet also. Are any of you applying to the 303 FS reserve unit?
thoma015 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Is there a POC at the 303rd? How are you guys applying for this position? I was selected on the last AFRC board so I would like to talk with this unit.
