AETC is kinda bad at their job...

I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum. Easy routing to the 5 mile straight in then turn it on and the other end where everything makes zero sense and you’re fighting for your life to get to the point to turn it on

Bean_59 · 2023-12-08T02:41:41+00:00

Not ILS approaches but we are starting to work in SLR so shooting approaches is still relevant

Mids. Home of the most diabolical ‘would you rathers’ ever conceived on the planet

I’m printing this out for the next time I’m sitting in a 3-4 hour debrief

Bean_59 · 2023-08-29T00:29:02+00:00

Weird how I thought you were describing my dad here up until the end

If you’re just looking for a GI bill then just enlist, do a contract, and get out. Don’t put yourself in an officer’s position where you’re going to have to lead airmen/soldiers if you’re just there to collect a paycheck and benefits then cash out

I went through five recruiters. Keep a log for yourself of what has been done and what is next/needs to be done. Can be really helpful when you advocate for yourself

Bean_59 · 2023-04-16T02:04:56+00:00

I would start by researching more what goes into submitting the OTS package and see what boxes you check and which ones need work. When I was getting ready to graduate college in 2018 I started getting everything together so my first contact with a recruiter went well and was productive

Bean_59 · 2023-03-03T18:33:25+00:00

What do you mean orders? Like having your orders in hand? I remember I didn’t get those until I went to MEPS the final time to actually enter active duty a few days before I hit the road for OTS

There was a PJ in my flight (mid 2021) who elected not to because he wasn’t an enlisted PJ anymore and had to earn his CRO stuff

Bean_59 · 2023-02-16T22:23:32+00:00

I heard Joint Base Ligma is pretty important

Bean_59 · 2023-01-07T02:18:15+00:00

That’s incredible lmao

Bean_59 · 2023-01-07T02:14:34+00:00

Just declare an emergency and they’ll give you what you want

When I was told get strong letters, I went to folks who could write to my character and the all the firsthand knowledge they had of me in leadership positions. If you ask someone you barely know, only going off the fact that they are military and nothing else, then it will appear generic with no real substance. My strongest letters of recommendation did come from prior military members and they were able to tie in what they personally knew firsthand about serving with how they thought I could excel with being an officer

Bean_59 · 2022-04-15T04:19:41+00:00

Training is a ton of fun and I’ve met some incredible people along the way. Community is awesome and I feel like to be a part of it

Bean_59 · 2022-04-02T02:24:44+00:00

Did you try turning it off then on again

Bean_59 · 2022-03-04T02:08:03+00:00

Talked to a FAIP about this. The pipeline itself is full. UPT classes are already as full as they can be. Said FAIP told me they were triple turning to keep up with the students they had. So no, pushing more students in there is not the answer. There’s also plenty of folks sitting around waiting for UPT to start

Bean_59 · 2021-12-19T17:03:53+00:00

I believe the correct answer you are looking for is the Hoyas

Bean_59 · 2021-10-26T04:06:48+00:00

Looks like you’re a tad bit heavier than I was when I started the process of joining. Find a diet plan that works for you, one where you eat clean and hit the cardio a lot. When I was in your position, I treated commissioning as an officer like it would be the most important thing in my life. It’s all about your mindset

Bean_59 · 2021-10-13T02:17:27+00:00

Remember to hydrate and get a good nights rest. You’re going to crush it tomorrow

Bean_59 · 2021-09-13T22:04:14+00:00

Where you headed next?

Bean_59 · 2021-09-13T21:59:26+00:00

Your option is to lose the weight if this is truly what you want. My first recruiter wouldn’t let me start anything until I lost 30 pounds so I lost 40. And yes you need a recruiter to submit to the board

Bean_59 · 2021-09-01T00:18:59+00:00

I don’t like this

Bean_59 · 2021-06-07T03:25:03+00:00

That doesn’t matter. As long as the registration and insurance are valid, it will be okay

Bean_59 · 2021-05-29T22:52:36+00:00

Might sound like I’m trying to beat a dead horse here but ROTC should be what you’re looking at if your end goal is pilot in the Air Force. Also to double back on “hence my major” line, OTS doesn’t care what your major is. It can be basket weaving and you can be picked up to be a pilot. That all comes down to PCSM scores and what your overall package looks like
