I'm in!!!
Swass,
Both Contrail777 and I will be going to McConnell. I had a couple messages waiting for me after I returned from a "turn." It feels so great that knowing that I will not be stuck in a turboprop for the next five years.
To all those who offered advice and suggestions, I say "Thanks!" Vandal, Thanks for leading the way!
To all those hopping to join the AF Reserves, keep trying and do not be afraid to ask for help--There is light at end of the tunnel!
Good Luck to All!
Future Tanker Toad,

Have any of you guys heard about reserve dudes going to their units to get their uniforms before reporting to OTS? I hear some units buy everything for you so you don't have to pay the $1700 out of pocket when you get to Maxwell. Also, when we graduate OTS do we do caual at our unit or UPT base?
airgator:
My POC told me that I would go to McGuire before OTS (for uniforms, incentive flights, brief orientation, etc.) and go there again after OTS to fill in time until UPT in casual status. I don't know if it's that way for everybody, but that's the way it's gonna go down for me. BTW, when we get to the other end of training, I'll trade you one ride in the KC-10 for a ride in the C-5.

I don't even remember my AFOQT scores off the top of my head. What I do remember is that they certainly weren't topping the charts. Do the best you can and build a strong overall package. That's what the interview board will be looking at. By the way, if you're new to all these discussions, search the following names for a LOT of useful information: airgator, sonic cruzer, vandal, and myself. I didn't provide much useful info... just asked a lot of dumb questions from those other guys who always seemed to be in the know.
Lata!

October OTS Date...
Contrail777,
I will let you blaze a trail for me and the rest...I start OTS in October. I want to get in touch with you as soon as I finish the island hopping sequence.
Congrats Again!
SkywayFO,
Scores are not everything...My highest scores (Pilot and Nav) were average. However, I did manage a PCSM score in the mid-90's. I think sponsorship played a bigger role in getting selected than test scores. Do not be afraid to ask questions and always follow up on leads.
Good Luck!
