I know you might not be able to pick your exact aircraft, but do you get to at least pick whether you're a fighter or a heavy? Also, do you know before you get into the Academy that you will get a pilot slot, or is there a possibility you get thrown somewhere else? I'm currently an Active Duty crew chief and I'm thinking about applying to the academy, I just don't want to spend 4 years of my life at the Academy just to end up in a random medical career or something instead of being a pilot.

You do get to do a dream sheet on both the airframe class (heavies or fighter/bomber) and the actual airframe after you track a certain type of airframe. That happens during UPT, which is after IFT. You don’t get guaranteed that you’ll get a pilot slot if you go to the academy, but right now they actually have a shortage of people at the academy who even want to be pilots, so the odds of getting a pilot slot from the academy - which were already really good before this shortage - are now almost 100% as long as your grades/fitness/military standards are all meeting the standard

Hey man! Good to see a fellow Egress guy make it to pilot status! If you’re ever at Columbus AFB, stop by the shop! I was At Eielson, Elmo, and Edwards as AD, now a civilian contractor at CAFB.

Hello, I just watched your video that was you applying to USAFA 4 times, make them tell you no, I was confused the part that you said that you were denied 4 times, does that mean you were in the same grade or level when you got denied or it was in diffrent time. Im a freshman and I want to prepare for this because as you said its not all about the grades and score and I was kinda worried about that because i can get good grades but not consistently so im looking for a way backup my grades and scores. with the resume and the other forms that we need to fill out. Can I ask you to if you have instagram cause you mentioned their your ig but it doesnt show up, thats all ive gotta say looking forward for you to reply, Thank you!

I applied once in high school and then three more times while enlisted. I have an instagram but I don’t use it or give it out anymore (because I don’t use it). Good luck!

Hey Matt. Im further behind you in the pipeline when it comes to pursuing my wings in the AF. I just learned that there is a difference between UPT and ENJJPT. For the past few years when I was active duty, I always thought the pipeline was -IFT, UPT, then ENJJPT. But after i seperated and in college, im being told , that you get special selected to go fly at ENJJPT, and that UPT is just the same except your almost guaranteed a fighter slot. Can you talk more about that please? Also, gah damn my guy, butter bars look good on you homie -pause-

Do well in school, do extra curricular activities, volunteer, and be as well rounded of a person as you can be. I have a video on increasing your chances of getting into USAFA that covers everything you can do
