I spoke with the AF recruiter today, and went over my scores. All my scores are ok (88 on the pilot), but I'm 15 short for the Navigator (got a 50) with a PCSM score of 90. He said the thing I could get is a Combat Air Manager in the back of AWACS. I'll retake the test to try for a better score. Maybe I just don't have the brains to be a military pilot.

15 short of what? I don't think the Nav min is a 65 since I got a 59 and got a slot...Don't settle for less than a pilot if that's what you want. ABM is a flying controller. Compared to flying, no thanks.

Good luck to you in whatever path you take. Afterthought: I never had to deal with a recruiter (went ROTC), but I would think the recruiter is trying to fill AWACS slots and thus is possibly attempting to persuade you to try that route instead. Don't know how the wheeling and dealing takes place these days, but I'd encourage you to not take the first offer, so to speak; might want to mention you're considering the Navy or Marines. I'm sure others have much more expertise to offer regarding this, and may be of more help if you make the inquiry. |

He said the competitive mins for a slot is 65 in the Nav, pilot and quantative, and that if I do get to be in the back of an awacs, I can always go before the internal air force pilot selection board.
I'm not wanting to join the AF to make sure targets get hit, I want to fire off the stuff that will hit the target. |
