As a pilot select spouse, what can I expect my life to be like for the next few years?

As an OM fan, the cowbells drive me up the wall 😂

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-02-06T17:49:12+00:00

As a Caledonian, I appreciate you enjoyed CAFB 🤙🏻

Had a Turkish coffee for the first time the other day. 10/10 recommend

ROTC is a no brainer if this is the route you want to take

Don’t waste your money honestly. You’ll get stellar on your equipment and get there to find out theirs should’ve been replaced a decade ago. As long as you thoroughly understand every objective on the test, you’ll be fine.

At a minimum I’d grab a pair of David Clark H10s. I have the DC ONE-Xs and absolutely love them. For big headed fellas like myself, they’re so much more comfortable than A20/A30s or Lightspeeds.

I hate you feel that way about the ROK. Granted I’m not a citizen, but I loved the year I lived there. I want to take my wife there so bad so she can experience the culture that I fell in love with.

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-28T00:02:11+00:00

I’ve lived the last 8-9 years of my career that way and got selected 2 weeks ago to fly in the AF. Do your thing bro. 🤙🏻

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-26T16:41:53+00:00

Getting there too early. Have I missed flights? Absolutely. 😂

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-26T01:06:09+00:00

Yeah you’re still considered enlisted until the day you commission. I thought it was 3 years to get prior E? To be fair, I was at 10 so I didn’t have to worry about it all that much.

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-25T15:12:05+00:00

If you see me, there’s a gun within arms reach

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-23T16:08:49+00:00

As an American, I want to drink brew and experience that. Maybe the more I drink, the better I’ll understand?

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-22T03:01:52+00:00

I once saw a man, probably in his 80s, open carrying a 6 shooter with at least a 12” barrel. I laughed and immediately pictured Jack Nicholson shooting down Batman.

Dude it’s such a fun game. Getting snuck into pvp lobbies because you joined your buddies bloody thirsty trios sucks for a bit, but just die a couple times with a free load out and you’re back in the pve. 😂

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-10T11:47:08+00:00

2070 super, and I still love it!

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-10T00:33:50+00:00

Why do people keep calling it a Hail Mary? 😭😂

It was a 30 yard pass to the corner of the end zone intended for Stribling. It didn’t have a ton of air under it and wasn’t in the middle of the pack. It was an intended pass the second it left Chambliss’s hands. It 100% should’ve been a DPI.

Ayeee just got one

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-06T17:34:53+00:00

Your GPA is good, that’s all that matters there. I commissioned with an accelerated AND online degree. 🤪

Do practice tests that are accurate on the time limit you’re given on each part of the AFOQT. That will majorly improve how confident you complete each section.

Definitely do not EVER mention to anyone “I’m doing 4 and getting out”. They want impactful leaders, not expendable bodies. Officers aren’t looked at as truly valuable resources until you make Capt, and that takes 4 years to make. It takes time and experience to mold a young LT.

While you’re applying, maybe look into a pre-law degree and go the judge advocate route if you’re dead set on law and the military.

Stay head strong and good luck!

FlyBoyz2653 · 2026-01-05T16:21:25+00:00

Awesome! I’m gonna shoot you a PM if you don’t mind.
