Hey, I thought I heard that someone here was in UPT for the USAF. I had some questions concerning ways to be ahead and general questions like how hard is it to get in, etc... Any information is fine. Thanks. Sorry if no one here is/was in UPT but I'd thought I'd ask. Thanks.

eKim, that may be referring to me, as I was a USAF pilot instructor in the T-38 for 4 years in UPT, but nobody on the Team is currently in UPT. If they were they certainly wouldn't have time to be a Virtual Thunderbird, I promise you that!!

If you have any questions I would be happy to answer that which I can.

Bon

Hey, sorry for not responding faster but could you tell me a little about the AFOQT, BAT, PCSM and how much of a chance someone would have with certain traits, etc... I already know what they are but would like your opinion or tips on them, etc... Please include more information if possible as well, thanks.

eKim,

I have taken the AFOQT's and scored very well in pilot/navigator fields and adequate on the rest. There are many study guides for this test and I suggest you pick one up and start crackin if serious about it, they sure helped me out alot. You can probably google search for all the guides. Best of Luck,

eKim, I would echo #5 and get the study guides. Back in the old days when I took those tests those weren't available so take advanatage of the "intel" out there. I am most familiar with the AFOQT. The pilot and nav sections would be no problem for anyone that has any kind of real life flying experience or even simulated flying experience. The rest is simular to SAT or ACT with an even spread on the basic academic fields of math, english, etc. As I remember to do well on the test you need to have a good balance between answering correctly and answering as many as possible. . .just like any timed test. Let us know what you find out there. Good luck!

Bon

Well, the only reason im considering not getting the study guides is because I wouldnt be taking it for at least 2009 or 2010, assuming you take it the first or second year in ROTC. I am worried that I would buy a study book and it would expire by the time it was my turn to start study. Keep in mind that I am 16 and everything is off in the distance. Who knows, maybe it wouldnt start studying but I'd rather be focusing on my PPL written test at the moment then something off in the future. What do you think?
