USAF Reserve?
Hello all.
In addition to considering the airlines, I've been interested in the military for a long time and am looking into the Air Force Reserve. I am contemplating enlisting while I finish college (about two years left to go) and work on my PPL. Would enlisting provide an advantage with attaining a UPT slot? Is this an advisable path?
Thanks in advance to any respondees.

Help me understand this, please. Is it not the case of failure to perform to syllabus standards = FEB (or whatever the student equivalent is); FEB determines further training or dismissal? Seems cut & dried. Can one really file a hurt feelings report, lawyer up, and get back into training these days??

And those kids are making our jobs tougher at UPT. Lots of time expended on multiple CAP/SMS and scheduling nightmares to try to either get these folks wings or get them out without lawyer involvement in the post CR process.

With the total threat of losing my internet identity I am the SJA for a USAFR unit directly tied to UPT. Failure in training is now an admin process or congressional issues are what they are what is the fear of "lawyer involvement"? Those are usually fixed in 3 phone calls.

I wouldn't bother enlisting. The only reason I did it was to have the ANG pay for my college education. Since you are already halfway through college, if you can afford it, I'd advise you get your PPL without the enlistment. As blastoff said, both the ANG and the AFRC are desperate for candidates, so I'd roll the dice as a street hire.
You don't even have to a unit before you head to UPT now
Unsponsored pilot applicants have better opportunity to join Reserve
