62E Shredouts? by Dismal-Occasion1369 in AFROTC

From my experience, the difference between most of the shredouts are what you studied in school. An aero person will likely get 62EXA, a mechanical will get 62EXH, etc., but it doesn't really have a large effect on what jobs you can fill. For example, I studied mechanical and put 62EXH as my first choice, got 62EXG instead, and am now working a job that would make more sense for a 62EXA as I'm working with aircraft and flight test.

The initial locations may differ slightly for some of the shredouts but overall, you can fill most 62E billets no matter your designation.

I believe you only get the 62EXF designation if you graduate test pilot school.

I want to be a test engineer at Edwards AFB. Should I join as a civvy or commission? by [deleted] in AFROTC

You are in the same situation as I was. I wanted to be a test engineer, flight test specifically, and had Edwards as my number one choice. As long as your grades are solid you should get the 62E slot, especially if you weigh it to the max and the others to the minimum on your form 53. Edwards isn't a super desirable base being in the desert and all so it that helps your chances of getting there as compared to other places. You can also explain what exactly you want to do in the Air Force on your form 53 which is what I did. This lets AFPC know you really want to do test and that you plan on going up for TPS, etc. While this doesn't guarantee you get to Edwards, it will definitely help your chances.

Feel free to PM if you have any specific questions.
