I am only 14 but I look forward to joining the U.S.A.F.
You should look into Civil Air Patrol USAF Auxiliary.
It's a great career path,take it from someone who knows! Leads to great opportunities after that too!
Same, I wanna be a F-22 Pilot, such a cool fighter
Aviationist101, Path to a Pilot Seat
Once you are qualified and been selected to join the Air Force as a Commissioned Officer you will take this path to get your wings.
1.) Complete Officer Training through one of the following (AF Academy, AF ROTC, OTS)
2.) Enter Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) and begin your flight training. (@ 1 year)
3.) Nearing completion of Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) you will be assigned an Aircraft. It's called getting your Seat Assignment. This is determined by these factors: Class Ranking, training performance reports, instructor recommendations, your aircraft preferences, and Air Force needs.

To be honest. I don’t care if there is someone who looks like me doing what I want to do. We’re all human. I think it’s a bit naive to think of no one of your ethnicity is doing it so neither can I. Barriers are broken all the time.
Yes I want to Thank you all ,ultimate pilots for helping our country my ❤️ goes out to you all both my grand fathers past from the war
If they raise the age limit to 44 or 45 I'll be at a recruiter tomorrow! That includes the Air Force Reserves or Air National Guard!
How about we bump up the age limit for pilots for those who are already serving ?
I’m a senior this year and hoping to be accepted at the air-force academy!
Best of luck!
Hope you didn't take the clot shot or you won't be flying at all
@@jungle1776 don't worry man I didn't get any of the cloth shots except the covid shot
@@jungle1776 sorry im not native speaker , my son who is American interested in Airforce academy too , may I please ask what you mean by clot shot? I googgle it but searh result show me Johnson vaccine and i got confuse
@@tittlemanscrest9667 .......... BRUH WHAT?! DUDE THEY REQUIRE THAT FOR NAVAL ACADEMY Summer seminar?????
Does having a PPL (private pilots license)
help me become more competitive to get a
pilot slot? or just flight hours? What is the
max amount of flight hours I can get to
improve my PCSM score?
Hey I’m in the Air Force and I did a program where you work helping recruiters and yeah having you pilot license already helps a lot, but you also need to have almost perfect health and a bachelors degree to even apply for a pilot position.
Jaxon, Yes, having a Private Pilot’s License will raise the chances of getting a pilot’s slot.
To ask more detailed questions you should speak with a recruiter.
To be eligible to apply for Officer Training School (OTS) one must be a US citizen, have ANY baccalaureate degree or be within 365 days of graduating (a senior), you must have earned a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher.
Officer Training School (OTS) is a selection process. Just applying does not guarantee being selected. OTS is very competitive.
What is your age, bachelor degree in with bachelor GPA, citizenship status, and zip code?

@@USAirForceRecruiting ray, I am currently in AFROTC at DET 605 at NCA&T state university. I am looking to raise my PCSM score to get a coveted pilot slot, and I heard flight hours helps. I am not sure how many hours but started taking lessons this summer. I would like to know if it is just flight hours or if the license checks a box too? Thanks for your help!
@@USAirForceRecruiting essentialy i am asking 3 questions ---- 1. How long after completing basic training and what requirements necessary after completing basic training before being able to apply to OTS. Is bachelor degree the only requirement or is there more. If bachelor degree is the only requirement than can I apply to OTS directly after basic training or within a few months of basic training completion since I have my bachelor degree already. 2. the four year insta office options are rotc and airforce acadamy and both of these take 4 years of your life just to become an officer. 4 years of life wasted which could have been gone to the career, but nope they dont let you fly planes even though your in aviation background. Well lets say you do either one of those and after 4 years you finally put in your package for pilot slot once you are an officer but there is no guarantee for the slot and no guarantee for the aircrat type as well. So how can I become an airforce pilot within the next year or so? the only route i see is, talk to a recruiter, join and finish basic training, do whatever needes to apply to OTS in the fastest amount of time possible, after becoming an officer and completing OTS put in a package for pilot, hopefully get accepted, go through pilot training, and boom now an airforce pilot.
Can flat footed join the US airforce, I'm flat footed, no symptoms, no pains and I wish to serve
Victor, please read previous post.

I’m 26, soon to be 27, I have graduated college in 2020 with some work experience. I am interested in Pilot career and other opportunities with the Air Force. What would you advise or any insight for someone like me?
I would recommend you speak with your area recruiter to discuss your options. They will be able to provide you with the best guidance and outline the pilot process and program. What is your zip code?

@@USAirForceRecruiting I have been to Colorado and Texas. I graduated from college with a BS in University Studies with a concentration in Geographic Information Science and Technology and my GPA upon graduation is a 2.89. From my research, I know I can talk to the recruiter for active duty, of course, or reach out to a recruiter from an Air National Guard base. I appreciate the help. Thank you for your time.
I'm ready to go on a cruz

How difficult was the AFOQT and TBAS? Do they outweigh previous GPAs?
They do not outweigh the GPA, it’s part of the consolidated score that gets compiled into a weighted average. The -Maj Hoffman
How hard is it to be a pilot?
It’s not easy, but if you love what you do you’ll put forth the effort to be good at it. -Maj Hoffman

@@tittlemanscrest9667 cant i have a mac
@@tittlemanscrest9667 no money
Why does no one mention DAGRE or CSAR & ( maintainers) here? I mean someone has to keep you all safe to fly.
@@tittlemanscrest9667 true enough. I am sure if they mentioned the attrition rates and available aircraft stuff in detail, it would really cut into/reduce the overall interest. I love C-5S, C-17s, they may not be sexy, and I think the C-17 was retired IIRC. But oh well.
W o w what's the speed you travel I think it's the ultimate ride
I’m 22? Is it to late for me to be a fighter pilot. ?

You got this mate! You can do anything at 22 you set your mind to. Go for it! 🤙🏾💯
In Top Gun: Maverick was it really justified to need those old F-18s for that strike mission? Couldn't the F-22 or F-35 have done that low level mountain valley flying just as well or better? I know the F-22 is not a Navy jet, but was it more that the film makers needed some arbitrary reason to use the two-seater F18s so the actors could sit in the back seat for the realism of the film? One more question, we know the DoD collaborates with Hollywood for these movies (see recent article in The Guardian), but why do Hollywood actors need to sit in the planes at all, why don't you just train some of your fighter pilots to be good actors and then they can fly the nice new single seater stealth planes? Then we can see some F-22s, F-35s in action. Or is that going to give away too many secrets about performance etc.
Itd be really cool if Maverick, being a modern movie, had some F-35s. Using older jets in a modern movie is kinda weird
Newer ones will probably be used in a sequel or something. I believe using the one he flew was appropriate and it went with the storyline.
@@tittlemanscrest9667 Ok fair enough. But let's say they make an Air Force movie in the future, the F-22 can take off from various bases worldwide close to hotspots. I think this would have made for good cinema too.
Is there a chance to still be an A-10 pilot?
The Ward, yes as the A-10 service life is expected to go until 2030.

can i join with asthma
bigpanda345, Unfortunately, asthma is a (potentially) medically disqualifying condition. The Air Force will utilize the Methacholine Challenge Test (MCT) to provide an objective measure of candidates with an ambiguous or uncertain history of asthma. Candidates who successfully pass this test will be processed for a waiver. You will need to gather your medical/pharmacy records for this condition and provide them to your recruiter. The doctor at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) will make the determination of whether or not your situation is disqualifying. Your local recruiter can have your medical records for this condition prescreened by the doctor at MEPS for you to find a preliminary ruling. Please contact an Air Force recruiter for more details.

Maybe dropping the vaccine mandate will help with recruitment ?
Hey give me a shout when you get desperate for pilots because you gave all your pilots the clot shot. I will step up and fly those stealth bombers.

Work on your 4-yr degree while serving and then apply for the rated board. They ask for applicants every year, so make sure your supervisor knows you want it and prove to them you deserve it.
