Good info, Yeah it sounds crazy that I'm asking for UAV slots only. Ive thought about this for a couple of weeks and Ive realized I'm looking more towards Reserves/ANG because it seems the active duty route via Air Force is not the best route for me ( family wise > I want to be close to my family when I do have one ). I do agree that focusing on just UAV's was a mistake that I made. I think its smart to have the other options open, such as flying for kc-135's or other aircraft.

Ive read base ops and wantscheck but I would really like your guys opinion on this situation. I have about a year before I earn my degree so I need to get this ball rolling, I'll be 26 by the time Im qualified.


and what happens if I cant get a UPT slot because of the competition, is my last route the Air Force?
