Tesla Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 Take one right now if your recruiter wants you to, then update it later. I did my APFT last, It went ASVAB - SIFT - Physical - flight physical - APFT. Quote
Velocity173 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 Ugh. Can we stick to the theme of the thread please? There are plenty of other serious threads for nonsense like SIFT, APFT and flight hours. This is shindig's journey to becoming a WO. Let's stay the course. 2 Quote

Shindig Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 it was a pretty quick morning got out at 1130 and looks like i'm qualfd for flying now...the doc at the army base said I still need to get it stamped but he said i should be good to go so and he doesnt see any problems Quote
crash Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 So the A.C.T isnt going to disqualify you from flight status? Quote

Shindig Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 Lindsey thats about it...there wasnt much to it... was asked some q's after i did the ekg and they checked my height which btw was ok you dont have to be 6ft to be a pilot...and they checked my arm lentgh etc. He said i had to wait like a month or a maybe just few wks to get everything cleared but I should be good so I'm just really in a great spot bc this means the all medical stuff is behind me so now the ball is in my court to get a woft slot. I'm working on getting letters, resume and getting my pt up...i'm kind of worried right now about getting a wo letter because i don't know anyone but i'll just have to figure out something...i always do. But I'm most of the way to my goal....just need to get my docs done and have recruiter send my packet and wait to hear if I made it or not Quote

Shindig Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 What you get on the SIFT? 51 Quote
Creep0321 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Did you take an APFT yesterday? I had some kid at the recruiters take one with me, got 25 pushups, 21 situps and a blazing 18:30 2 mile.... sounds like a shindig. Quote
cwil7280 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 But I'm most of the way to my goal.... Maybe nobody told you, but the flight physical, the PT test, the SIFT, that's not most of the way to your goal. If your goal is to get wings pinned on, you have a very long and painful road ahead of you. If, by some glitch in the matrix, you are accepted into this program, I look forward to the thought of you getting your ass kicked by drill sergeants, TAC officers, HOST training, SERE instructors, IPs, and every Warrant at B Co that actually deserves to be there.

Creep0321 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Haha I forgot about the dunker.... Quote
Tesla Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 They didn't check your balls? Ahh come on man, that's the best part! Quote

I get the feeling that, should I get in, it will be the best "bad" experience ever! Sigh..... Quote
Shindig Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Posted August 12, 2015 cwil, i'm going to do my best and see what happens....my first goal is to get in and right now i'm most of the way through all this since all i need is to get the docs and letters etc done and have my recruiter send my packet....then its just wait and see. I havent done as much pt the last week and half because ive been distracted with some other urgent things at home but im hoping to get back on track next week Quote

rakkasanvet Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 Shindig, Can I get your recruiter's name and number? I've been working on my packet for MONTHS, and you've been working on yours for weeks. You must have the best recruiter in the Army. 2 Quote

You must have the best recruiter in the Army. rakk i started on mine months ago so not sure what you mean by weeks...i mean i wish it only took a few weeks...lol...but it takes time to get your pt up and i'm still not done with that. I did not even make the charts in the beginning especially the pushups but ive gotten a lot better. Once i bought new shoes that helped a ton thanks to some money from a really nice person. how far are you with the woft application? Good luck Quote
Velocity173 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 I missed it. He already took the ASVAB and SIFT? Quote
akscott60 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Guess so. Pretty much already a pilot. 3 Quote
Brian101193 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Shindig, has the 160th reached out to you yet? You'd probably fit right in with them. Quote
