That's pretty phenomenal considering there's been guys with heavy military backround with 4,000+ hours (IP/EP, safety officers, multiple recommendations by AA pilots, multiple career fairs, etc) that wait 8, 10, 12 months, if not upwards of two years to get an interview. It's just my observation from what I've seen in the forums and RST. They just seem to like fighter pilots. Afterall, they have a box to check in the demographics section that specifically asks, "Are you now or have you ever been a Fighter Pilot?". It's definitely there to give you extra points. Whatever you did, you did something right!

Interesting about the employment verification. I've got probably over a dozen squadron-mates who have gotten hired by one of (or several) of the Big 3 companies, to include AA and our commander has never been called by any of them to verify their employment in order to land the video interview. Are you talking post interview backround check?

That being said, those of you military guys who have bounced around from assignment to assignment on AD and who are in the ANG/AFRC now, what contact info did you put for your former assignments if your supervisor has moved on to bigger and better things? I guess your current unit can verify your previous assignments through MilPDS.
