Thanks for the quick response. I didnt realize they moved the uc-35s up north. They've been at Bragg for years.
Well, seems like the pilot shortage hasn't yet made its way to army FW. Not what I was hoping to hear, but good to know how it is straight up. If there was a chance of getting in, what do you think would help that chance?
Should I call the unit, and express interest in a position there? I dont want to come across as too persistant, or annoying. Im a very chill easy going guy to get along with, so i dont foresee there being a personality issue and being able to fit in. Just trying to figure out the next step without burning it. I very much appreciate the advice.
