From personal experience, I beg to differ. My unit was sending 1-3 UPT pilots per year and only a few were turned away. Big IF, you have to be qualified (tests and physical) and determined about serving in the unit. I can’t help it if you don’t pass the Flying Class I. Scores are up to you, read the prep books.
Flight experience, you will need for a truly off the street applicant—PPL and 100 hours will do. No flight experience candidates tend to come from the enlisted ranks, especially enlisted aircrew. They’re known quantities, have verifiable records of military aptitude and internal recs.
AFRC turned back 22 slots last FY, odds are in your favor.
