Thanks for the props, y’all. I’m just having a tough time getting my foot in the door at out-of-state units.. Jacksonville in particular. If anyone on here can help me shake a hand during UTA there’s a bottle of Jack coming your way as a thank you!! As much as an Internet promise is worth, I’m not a cocky, “I’ve got this ******* in the bag” candidate. I know my buzz words and how to carry myself in an Ops building. Trying to not bank on a strong resume getting me an interview without the proper facetime.
Google is a good resource. I spent 3 minutes googling and found this.
UPT Application for F-15C pilot position - GuardReserveJobs I know it’s not the squadron ops desk, but I’m sure the dude/chick on the phone would be glad to give you the number. Theres also an O5 email address and I’m sure he’d be glad to help you out.

I was an army dude and had no contact info for any units but managed to find phone/email for most ANG fighter units I looked/applied at. Bogidope.com, baseops.net, unit websites, and TPN on Facebook are your best bets. Some were harder than others to find, but I went as far as finding random numbers (security forces for example) and asking to get the ops desk number at the fighter squadron. Usually had no issue. Good luck.

With persistence you'll get into a flow of finding out what you need to talk to people. For what it's worth, I never visited my hiring unit just happen to time it right. Most fighter selects applied everywhere and took a few before they were picked up.

Be the I've got this in the bag applicant, just don't verbalize it. Confidence is key - more so at a fast mover bunch. PM me if you have any questions.
