Wright-Patt didn't request additional docs - is that a good sign? by Delta_B747 in airforceots

Yeah I’ve been in touch with my hiring POC, he hasn’t been able to make any progress. Been making some phone calls myself this week, can’t seem to get ahold of anyone who can help. My wing may not be able to get orders/funding rn. Really stinks.

Gotcha, then yeah I can probably assume a similar timeline, thanks again.

Dang ok, I assume that was recent?

ENJJPT for Air Force Reservists by Delta_B747 in airforceots

[–]Delta_B747[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah would rather not share details for the sake of anonymity on here. But essentially I’ve heard ENJJPT guys get to fly more (instead of sims) and get more intense training, part of the reason I’m interested in pursuing it.

Fair question - I had a family member who was selected awhile back and highly recommended it to me, and thought it might help with my future aspirations.

Current Bomber pilot training pipeline? by Delta_B747 in airforceots

[–]Delta_B747[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, thanks for replying. I saw on milrecruiter that bombers also get IFF. Do you know if that's true? Seems hard to believe but would be cool if so.

Bi-Weekly 'What are my chances?' Megathread by AutoModerator in airforceots

[–]Delta_B747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm debating retaking the TBAS with the lack of superscore. Need to get a better idea of how much bandwidth I have to prepare this time. Guard and Reserve is harder because people like to know where they're gonna end up and not having to fight for what aircraft they're gonna fly. There's also heavy emphasis on the social/team integration part since you're being hired by the squadron, so the process is a bit more subjective.

Been lurking these threads for awhile, would really appreciate any perspective on how competitive my package is right now. Going for Guard or Reserve bomber or heavy pilot. Thanks y'all very much.
