you're 100% right. nice story too.

sir how much should we study to be a pilot in military?

@@shishirkc387 It's not about reaching the minimum amount of required study, which of course exists when it comes to grades and such. It's about how much you're willing to push yourself in the every day to better yourself. Example: you finish your Homework and it felt easy? It means you weren't pushing yourself enough so you should take more advanced classes or study more topics. You finished your workout and you're not tired? It wasn't a workout, it was just a warmup, do more. Every day, every hour, and every minute should be dedicated to bettering yourself, to the point that if you're not bettering yourself in this moment, you would feel sick in your stomach. Good luck and best wishes man, never forget how much you want your goals, see you up there.

commanderskyfire you're 28 now

commanderskyfire believe me he"s not telling everything. I can spot a silver spoon. And guess what.

You can commission as an officer until the age of 34 so you still have enough time. Unless you already are i can give you some tips if you want.

So.... Did you make it, are u a fighter pilot now?

Rusty do you have any tips?

LilJew96 me too!!!!

Ed Mi my hope has been crushed

How is it crushed

Ethan Brookins I might have exaggerated a bit but i got in as a Air combat systems officer instead of a pilot.

I would still be as happy as hell if I got that job! At least I am in the cockpit of an aircraft!

+Thomas Kenner That is not necessarily true. Some applicants need to take the asvab depending on how they did on their standardized test scores.

Officers take the AFOQT. There are specific pilot portions on that test as well.

115

Officers dont take that asvab they take the afoqt air force officer qualifying test. You probably want to learn all your iliary stuff

@eferez57 A lot of people are looking for an edge to get a seat in a fighter cockpit, you're competing with people who went to air force academy or have been training for this their whole lives, and this guy flew 1 discovery flight and got hired off the street after baking for the last 10 years. All due respect, amazing story

@Todd Burch do you fly as an officer or are you in a different role?

Matty VW I was a pilot back then but have since separated and now work at a software company.

Todd Burch​ wow that must have been amazing, what did you fly?

Have you done it

@@worm3165 It never came to be, my friend. Life/God, whatever you believe in had different plans.

@@justinmorgan4568 Oh darn, as long as your living a decent life, all is fine. Guess its my turn to see if I become usaf pilot in 4 years.

@@worm3165 I wish you luck friend. Time will tell soon enough if it is your calling or not. 🙏

@@justinmorgan4568First step ive take was signing up for some flight classes. I'll report back in 4 years, lol.

Not if you get deported.

People commission and get rated as pilots in the AF and Navy coming from all kinds of college majors and work experience. And at all ages, esp. now that the age limit for pilots is 32 by date of UPT entrance for both services. Once in flight training only present performance matters, what degree you did or your age or commission path have no relevance, only your flying ability and work ethic. A guy with good gpa in his food science degree, good afoqt scores, good letters of rec, c.6 years of managerial work experience is very likely to get selected at the board and then onwards has just as much chance of getting tracked to T38s and then getting F22s as anyone else.

Air force allows munchkins to fly now. Check it out! Maybe you still have a shot! (I'm also sorry btw)

They just changed their height standards (and age limit as well). Check it out if you're still interested.

Me too! Did you make it to flying c-17s?

Did you get into the Moose?

Ok you got a nomination but that's not an appointment. You did ROTC but did you make it to the POC phase? How did you do on the AFOQT? I'm guessing not very well. Hard work and determination is all well and good but luck and genetics is a factor. There comes a point where you have to admit to yourself that something is out of your reach and refocus your life towards more achievable goals.

usafa2000 AFROTC were selecting cadets with 3.5 GPA and above. Its amazing how some of them get POC slots when they couldn't march or drill properly, on top of that 0 flight hours. I have 165 college credits and 3.1 GPA in engineering and criminology. Didn't get a chance to take the AFOQT. KZfaq search: Bern F-16, I taught myself the avionics of the F-16; you don't have to be a genious. AFOQT is not very relevant, it's a test of basic math, science, and English. However, I did take the Navy officer exam ASTB and got 7s and 50s (pilot/aviator rating). What's your point?

Bern C. Prasertsri Disregard what that guy said. You can still make it as a pilot. I'm 24 now finishing up my mechanical engineering degree, and then I'm going to apply for OCS to get a flight slot. Wish you luck man.

SpaseGoast Thanks. Likewise man. Cheers

Liam Wilson He already had his 4 year degree @ 1:27 ( Required unless you go to flight school as a Warrant Officer if you've enlisted ) . Then he was just able to go directly to OCS/OTS ( Officer Training School - Air Force ) for 90 days then straight to Flight School . Check it out online .. Gpogle : " How to become a military pilot ' . You could also go Rotc or one of the military academies .

Is it hard to be a pilot? Because i really want to be one.. Do you need to be good in math or algebra? And also i am not that good in physics :( my biggest problem is g-force because i am not used to that kind of speed . Also not used to roller coaster rides thats why.

lance lusung Check out this KZfaq VIDEO " INTRO TO BECOMING A FIGHTER PILOT part 1 " By ED RUSH . Also look up " How to become a Military pilot " on google and you'll find the basic requirements there : OCS (Officer Candidate School if you already have a Four year degree ) , ROTC in college with or without a college scholarship , or one of the military academies ( i.e. the air force /naval academy ) . There are some exemptions for Warrant officers that are enlisted without a 4yr degree but I don't know what the rules are for that one . And yes I believe that you can major in any subject in college but it will probably only benefit you to get your math / science scores up as much as you can. But I 'm not really sure if it's a deal- breaker so to speak. Hope that this helps : )

+lance lusung Just think of it this way....they're not going to let someone who is bad in school fly a multi million dollar airplane. Simple as that

+done more216 great resource and nice Reference

In my day (lates 80's / early 90's), the cut-off seemed to be about 26.5 at time of entry to Air Force OCS. I think it was 27.5 for Navy/USMC. Not sure about Army.

No pressure on the kids

+F18afterburn haha.. haha..

It is because of people like him that protects your right to come out with a comment like that. Just pause and think there are still countries where you would just disappear and not be seen or heard from again for that comment.

+TheBlueHero22 First you need to get a college bachelors degree. Next after that, you'll need to take the AFOQT test and pass it, and sign up to go to OTS. If you do well, they'll select you for a pilot slot. And if you're lucky you'll go on to fly fighters.

+Dillon Robinson thanks so much man are you a pilot or wanting to be a pilot as well!

+TheBlueHero22 I am a private pilot seeking to become an Air National Guard fighter pilot. Graduating college next year, and hopefully will be selected.

Mr Robinson, good luck and never give up on your dream even if they turn you down at your first attempt.

Tony Haynes Thank you sir! I have about 7 applications till I'm 28. I hope to make it!

90 day wonders

Yup that's what we called back in my Air Force days as an enlisted guy . After OTS it was our job to teach em about the Air Force not the other way around teaching us about the Air Force . The Air Force needs all the enlisted Non Commissioned Officers and Airman . AIM HIGH ! GO AIR FORCE ! Go Blue !

Does it matter?

Mr Gomoll, that comment is both uncalled for and bigoted. Whilst you live in a democracy with freedom of speech, remember that it comes with responsibilities. Israel has every right to exist and more importantly has the right to peacefully co-exist with it's neighbouring countries. It's a shame that the people who constantly put Israel down don't look at the countries surrounding it and how the manipulate people like you to believing Israel is the devil incarnate. When are you going to critisise the terrorists that murder in the name of god?

Trevor Gomoll No way Israel is shit. They now produce 25% of the world’s top technology. They’ve become one of the fastest growing nations in the world history economically. Regardless what you think you said, it totally “sounds bigoted”.
