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.

They do not outweigh the GPA, it’s part of the consolidated score that gets compiled into a weighted average. The -Maj Hoffman

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.

@@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.

Best of luck!

Hope you didn't take the clot shot or you won't be flying at all

Ogiwara, you must be a US citizen with a bachelor degree to apply to be a pilot. Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

@@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.

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? Pam Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service

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.

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.
