Applying for Reserve Pilot Slots

[Catman]

Hey everyone,

I am an air guardsman right now, and I have a pretty complete grasp on how the applications work for Guard UPT slots. However, the Reserve side is a mystery to me. From what some other folks have said, it almost sounds like there is some sort of application you can fill out that gets sent to multiple bases, and they will reach out if they are interested. Is that a thing? Was that a thing?

Whatever information you can give me so I can understand the differences between applying Reserve and applying Guard would be super helpful.

Thanks!
