oh58mech Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Some people hover in 15 hours, some people hover in 15 minutes. Yay for video games! "You can spend twenty years progressively improving or you can repeat your first-year twenty times. The difference depends on your attitude and self-motivation. Make the most of your time on the job. Work to improve yourself daily, regardless of agency requirements. Don’t be content with mediocre performance; push toward mastery of skills" - some motivational career post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharyouTree Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I hear what you are saying. I suppose I'm just surprised because I would think a Helo PPL would give people more confidence in your ability to succeed in flight school than say a SIFT. In the Air Force, they won't even look at you unless you have a PPL. What am I missing here? Tell that to the guy in my class who bragged the whole time about his ratings, and then failed his first check ride. He made it through, but it didn't help him.

Yamer Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I have a guy that was in my wocs class bragging about all his UAV time and quals and stuff. Needless to say anyone that's ever met him along the way hates him... Edited March 30, 2015 by Yamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharyouTree Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 He probably went to Embry RiddleDon't know, but it's neither here nor there. It was his attitude that caused the issues, not where he got his ratings. An attitude like "I already have a rating, so I don't really need to study". Not a good one to have.

BrightShadow Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 This site is awesome...I am AD Air Force in an admin job and so far army recruiters (with the exception of the warrant I'm now working with) have been pretty rude to me when I tell them over the phone I am interested WOFT...I kept being told I have no chance because I have no flight hours and because in AD USAF in a 'noner' AFSC. I have an associate degree and will have my bachelor's on monday (hopefully ). This thread, and the rest of the site has been a wealth spring of information and a huge encouragement! Thanks to those who contribute and I hope to contribute more in the future to pay it forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhelo Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Being a Marine pilot I cant speak to your board process specifically, however I'm sure they are just like ours and could care less if you had no flight experience or where a cfi. I saw folks who never touched the controls rock flight school and I saw airline pilots fail out. Flight school, for what ever branch, is not the end game getting a combat aircraft is and by the time you get to that point the time you put into your PPL wont really apply as you will either be landing in a shitty zone or putting rounds down range from the air. Its really just a different animal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Won2Be Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Whatever happened to just picking people based on their merits, and whatever color/gender they happen to be, so be it. Product of the culture, political climate, and media/social media. Social conditioning through constant whining. We are currently passed the event horizon and getting crushed as we approach G = infinity + 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
