USAF Pilot shortage? Dont think so. Many guys are staying in till their retirement is up. If we go to war many of the older pilots may retire or get out, then that would create a greater demand for Lt's and Capt's, but curently the AF is not short. If they are its unit specific.

Lancer- I spoke on the phone with the POC for the 68th. Great guy!

I am submitting a packet but I will have to re-apply in the spring as my AFOQT score is a few points lower than they will accept. No hard feelings, as I dont want them to lose a pilot slot at the AFRC board due to not having high scores.

As for anyone else applying for a reserve unit, no matter how much they like you (the unit) you have to pass the AFRC board. Unfortunately the board only sees your packet and not you as an invidual, so study hard and get your scores up!
