F-16 ANG Unit
RTU hiring for UPT Tucson typically accepts applications from anyone in the AZ ANG (Phoenix KC unit or Tucson). They do not accept applications from "off the street". Once you complete the B course, you have to find a unit to do your seasoning with. As mentioned, some of the other RTU units... -
162nd FW Flight Ops #?
Sorry guys. Tucson only accepts applicants that are enlisted in the AZ ANG (Phoenix or Tucson). Flaco -
Considering the military route.
I'll tell you what drives my classmates. The opportunity to serve their country and drop bombs on bad dudes' heads. No, really, that's what we're there for. I'm sure you have some desire, however small, to serve your country. The problem is that it's obvious that service ranks very low on... -
Considering the military route.
Dude, have fun in UPT. Your classmates will quickly pick up on the fact that you're only there for yourself and the "civilian career advancement". Your previous post made it obvious that you've never once given thought to "duty, honor, country". You think that you'll "use" the military to get... -
Help!! Officer in the guard question???
Easy.. Get a pilot slot! Dude, You can apply for UPT before you've completed college. Most units will accept applications from people in their last semester of school, some will even look at you if you've got two left. This is because there is normally at least a one year wait between when you... -

Advice On Taking AFOQT 3rd Time
From AFI 36-2605 Posted this on studentpilot.net as well: A2.6.2. Waivers. Only two test administrations are authorized. EXCEPTION: The MAJCOM TCO may approve requests for a second retest (third test administration) or validation of a second retest, but must not grant them routinely. TCOs and... -
Anybody used VA for Flight Training?
VA or GI Bill What do you mean "GI Bill not an option"? I used VA bennies to pay 60% of my training through CFI. You need to be in a part 141 program and you have to submit some paperwork, but it's not too difficult. Call and speak with a VA rep and they'll get you hooked up. Then you just... -
AMS advice anyone?
AMS Advice Hey dudes, Congrats on being selected. AMS is not difficult. But there's a few things that you can do to make your life easier. 1.) Bring a laptop if you have one. If you bring a laptop, bring a printer. There are printers that are shared by your squadron, but it's easier if you... -
Test Pilot School Question
Guard dude at ED I know of at least one "Guard Baby" who was never active duty before he went to TPS. He is now flying test at ED (his wife is a flight surgeon at my Guard unit). Said dude has a masters from MIT in EE and is rumored to have built a functioning radar in his garage. I think he... -
ANG FTU's
Tucson ANG Hey SMAN, Hoss, et. all, I didn't know there were so many people with ties to Tucson Guard here. I just started at ENJJPT (04-05) a month or so ago (I'm Nate, the guy that got picked up by Tucson this last go around). Hoss, I'm not sure if I met you or not while I was down there on... -

enlisting while in college? good or bad?
Best Decision I've Ever Made Dude, Enlisting in the Guard during college is a great decision, imo. I enlisted when I was a sophomore and now I'm at ENJJPT. Just network with the pilots as much as possible, do a good job at whatever you do, do your best on the tests (AFOQT and BAT) and you'll... -

Education Waiver
Submitting Apps Early I would recommend submitting your applications as soon as they're complete, even if you're slightly below 90 credit hours. It can't hurt, if they don't like it they won't interview you. It puts your name out there and you may get an interview out of it. Just make sure your... -

Education Waiver
Waivers There is still such a thing as an education waiver. I know because I got one. So did two other people in my AMS class. The waiver states that you must complete your bachelors within 5 years of commissioning. I got mine because I was not a graduate by the time my package was submitted... -
Got gouge on AMS
PT There is no organized PT during the week. You are expected to work out at least 30 min cardio and 30 minutes strength per week. There is a gym there that you can go to for workouts. On Saturdays, there is normally an organized PT event, but it's normally volleyball, basketball, etc. What... -
Got gouge on AMS
PFT The PFT at AMS is a required event, but you don't have to meet any standard to graduate. You can get an award for doing very well on it, but it does not include pull-ups. You do pushups (2 minutes), situps (2 minutes), and the 2 mile run. The only event that must be passed in order to... -
Got gouge on AMS
Group PT It's pretty much non-existant. If there is group PT, it'll be a few hours on Saturday with a volleyball tourney or something. Flaco -
Got gouge on AMS
AMS Gouge Stuff to know: 1.) If you bring a laptop, bring a printer. You will be able to use both if you bring them. 2.) You can't use cell phones until the last few days. No e-mailing (or internet access) is allowed either. There is a computer in each dorm that is connected to a central... -
