Notes
* Individual tours are not done for prospective UPT candidates
* We discourage any visits to the unit before the actual Interview Board is held. If you make it to the interview phase of the process, you will be invited to the unit and given a detailed introduction to the unit along with all of the other candidates meeting the board. This way we keep the playing field level
* We use a whole person concept. Let your accomplishments speak for themselves
* Flying experience and aero-ratings are highly desirable but they are not required
* Candidates selected to meet the Interview Board will be officially invited to interview with the unit. It is your responsibility to provide a current phone number and email address to contact you
* Typically we hire one primary candidate and one alternate
* Age Cut Offs:
-Prior Service Aviators: It will depend on type of airframe experience
-Non-prior Service: We prefer age 28 or less prior to the interview date (you must be in UPT by your 30th birthday and the slot is for the following year)
* Military Experience: We actively seek military experienced candidates with a history of outstanding accomplishments and achievements. If you are an Active Duty pilot, please contact MSgt Damon Walker (contact information provided below)
* Fulltime Employment
-This Board is for part-time/traditional Air National Guard positions. If selected, you will be on active duty for training for 3-4 years but ultimately you will revert back to traditional/part-time status when training is completed.
* UPT Packages: Concise, well organized, with a professional appearance are required. There is a great deal of competition for these slots and your application package is your first impression to us. Make it count!!
