@tigergirl562 Have your dreams always in your mind! do your best at school don't lag on it !, I can not become a fighter pilot anymore My vision is no good anymore.
according to air force pilot requirments you can't have any history of hay fever or allergies. Does anyone know if this true, because I do have seasonal allergies, not sure what but its usually in the spring. I really want to be able to meet all of the requirements, its just that theres that one little problem. Can this problem be waived if its disqualifer? Thanks
@marmeytan you have to go to usafa and that is hard to do since you have to be a strait a student and go there for 4 years. then you can go to pilot school
Anybody 12-18 who wants to do this, join CAP (Civil Air Patrol)! I went through a simulated pilot training course at Columbus just like this, SUPTFC, doing sims and meeting studs and walking the flight line. I'm just sitting here like "I've been in that hallway, I've seen that..." My flight sat in on briefing and we got more answers correct than the studs... Not good for them, lol.
@aviationman212 I've been thinking about doing it. Im 16 and I'll be heading to college in two years. Do you think it is still worth it for me? I have a Private Pilot's License. I know you have to be 17 and an active member to fly, do you know how long it will take until I'm an "active member?" Thanks.
@drey4lyfee Hey, sorry for getting back so late on this. Yeah, I'm the same age and same situation. Most of my friends in it are 15-21, I try not to hang out with the 'young-uns.' To be an active member takes probably less than month. My squadron requires that you go to at least 3 meetings before you submit your application, but once you submit your application it gets verified within a week. So the time from your very first meeting until you are first promoted is probably 1.5-2 months?
@yuriynyr Hello yurinyr I used to be terribly afraid of heights until one day I started flying. I would reccomend going to your local airport and asking about flight school. All it took for me to get rid of my fear is to just go flying! Hope this helps. If not write me back if you have problems.
Pilot candidates are selected from a pool of officer candidates. Officers don't go through basic but have their own commissioning source, typically AFROTC, USAFA, or OTS. Once they become an officer within a few months they start pilot training.
if you sign up to be a pilot in the air force, do you go into a different basic training than everyone else ? or do you go to the same basic training and then you begin pilot training ?
@evoldevildogs Sure you will! i hate kids that talks like you! "ohh i will shove my beretta down your throat" ohh! how fucking scary is that!? u dont know where i live! So why wasting your time "trying" to make me afraid of you!?
@evoldevildogs Lol. It's funny how we doesnt stick to one subject, iam not a dumbass trying to impress people with " iam a white american" (ohh iam a racist) you could have said "iam a american" it sounded really racist!
I'am not saying that i felt hit or something. its just... other then white people who live in american could have felt hit and sad for what you said.
what are the requirements to pilot jets? I'm really considering joining the air force. I know there's the 20/20 perfect vision, and if your eyes aren't 20/20 you can get some sort of surgery to fix them but are their height requirements?
@KryptonPlayer honestly you don't have to have perfect 20/20 vision to be a pilot but i think the limit is like 20/40. you CAN NOT get any type of surgery to you eyes until after you go through training and mission qualified training( specific airccraft)
@killjoy270 I KNOW!!!!! jeez you guy think you can stress that on me anymore i know you have to have a degree im 17 and have been fascinated with the us airforce since i was just a kid and the first time i saw the blue angles as a kid i knew right then and there that my perpus in life is to be a fighter pilot theirs no better job in life and i figure since im a white American and America pretty much invented flight and has been a leader and is known around the world for its air power
@burgerbird67@Stealthygamer7 Right, all AF pilots can take the FAA Mil Competency (equivalency) Exam and get different type ratings based on the jets they have experience in. As an example, right out of training heavy track dudes can get BE40/G multi-engine ratings versus fighter guys who get something like "Centerline restricted multi-engine".
@Stealthygamer7 yea becas im 14, and i want to start getting my future ready, so i wont have to go through no obstacles. I really want to be an airline pilot, but i dont know which to choose airforce, or flight school. what consrnse me about flight school is the cost, and what consrnes me about airforce is that i might join when the countries at war again! and i might die. Also im looking for a real airline pilot, or multiple of them to tell me how they did it so i can have a good understanding
@johnmunoz18 wow we're both 14 only difference is i KNOW i want to be an air force pilot. Jet fighters would be my #1. thing about the air force is how FEW pilots die in war. dont be scared about dying. #1 because we all die, and #2 thinkin your gonna die increases you irrationality and makes it more possible that you would die. anyways best of luck in what you choose.
@amazinglyawesomedude no dude, i want to be strictly an airline pilot (hopefully for jetblue!!!!!!)
i just want to get into the airforce so i can get training there instead of going to flight school and spending like 100,000$ because college is like 40,000 a year too
@guitarmanbadass thats the piont, i want to STAY AWAY from regional airlines as much as possible by getting every bit of flight time possible...the more im closer to 3,500 hours the more chances i will get hired by jetblue, or southwest
@guitarmanbadass yea, im moving to homestead in the winter, so ill do all that at miami international airport, or after college join the airforce, then get back out, turn my military flight license to a civilian one and start applying
@guitarmanbadass me too, thats why i dont know what to pick, AF is free but i dont want to spend 10 yrs in it, but Flight schools too expensive and i might not even get all the hours i need
@johnmunoz18 I am serious, My bro was in the army so I talked to him about the military life. I also used to work at an animal shelter and there we had a lot of military volunteers some of which were pilots in the airforce and navy. So from them I have concluded what I may do after I graduate from college. I actually wanna be an astronaut, only I am not brilliant nor lucky enough to receive such a chance. As A kid I always dreamt of flight. I do plan on the route in converting military to civil.
ok my gpa is 4.5. But ppl say the higher the gpa then mostly likely your are in first place to get your tract select. Like what type of plane you would like to be flying(bomber, fighter, stealth).I am physically fit but not sure if mentally prepard because everything you do in training is wrong. Anyone know???
@AzonaCATS10 im in high school. not in college.My head wud be huge if i was, lol. I just need help on how to go throught it all. So first i apply at a recruiter at 18. Then I go to college for 4 yrs(must have a degree to be an officer, officer turns into pilot).Still on wait list. go to bmt. Then when i finish bmt. Where do I go? rotc or ots? which wud u recomend? Then lastly I must apply at a pilot training school. Where should I apply?did i miss anything? Thanks.
@Hummermaniac1 You need to find an officer recruiter and not just a regular recruiter. He will talk to you about the Academy and ROTC. You go to college and they teach you during college. No BMT for officers, its field training during the summer of you second year. Your commander of your ROTC unit will help you get the pilot slot, he will tell you what you need to do . OTS is for people that dont do ROTC or the Academy. Where do you live and I will try and find you an officer recruiters number
@AzonaCATS10 I live in omaha, NE. Theres a airforce base(offut) by me. But I wanna fly bombers which is when track select comes in. I dont want to be in the frontlines or be placed as a ground unit if i wanna fly. thanks.
@Hummermaniac1 Well it will be easier for you to get what you want because the first picks go to fighters. Did you want me to find an officer recruiter for you to call?
@Hummermaniac1 Ok gpa in college has nothing to do with what type of aircraft you get. Im not sure but I believe you choose your tract based on how good you do in UPT. Then you go to Intermediate training. And you need to be physically fit which is good if you are and yes you need to be mentally prepared. I am getting a degree in pro. aviation so I know more than most poeple and I have a better chance of making it through training. The drop out rate is high..
@toddieo1 Well in that case since he is a marine then he has could have any gpa and still have a shot. They don't have a requirement. Im sure someone told you that you need at least a 3.0 because it is competitive. But I know people that have had under a 3.0 and got a slot. All depends on your major. I believe they will give someone in aeronautical engineering a little slack over a business degree. And I didnt cuss at you so show some respect.
@toddieo1 You were wrong and still are wrong. I looked at everything I could go into and I know everything there is that you need to do to get into pilot school. Marines and Navy have no gpa requirement but they are going to take higher gpa students so yah you do want it over 3.0. But lets say someone had a 2.8 and did way better on the ASTB, i hope you at least know what that is, they would pick that student over a 3.0 student with a lower ASTB score. You need to do some research.
@toddieo1 Exactly, but your chances are very low. I know where you got the you have to have a 3.0 from because to be competitive you need above a 3.0. But if everything else was awesome and your major was hard you could probably get a slot depending on how many they are taking.
They don't guy by just that gay ass test cause then it would be racist. For the Marines it is just pass/fair either way. There are tons of shit they look at. And wtf engineering majors make terrible pilots you faggot. They are better at working at reactors.
@Hummermaniac1 You dont sign up if you are going to ROTC. Just make sure you talk to an officer recruiter if you want to be a pilot. Call up the Air Force ROTC at the college you are going to attend.
@striketeamstudios You dont need to enlist out of high school... You need to apply to get an ROTC scholarship and if you can get into the Air Force academy even better, to be a pilot you have to have a 4 year degree, so make sure you get good grades so you can get a full ride.. and the people that will fly the f22 are the pilots that have tons of hours already because there not going to put a pilot that is new in a jet that cost so much...
@Michael2k5 Yes you can be a pilot, i would try and get it up because the higher the better.. It goes off you afoqt, gpa, physical fitness, field training, and commander rating... So lets say you had under a 3.0 but you did awesome on you officer qualifying test, did good during field training, and your in good shape you still could have a chance.. Also it depends on what your major is.. Also it depends on how many people they are taking that year.. Message me if you have more questions.
@toddieo1 actually if you look on the website it says at least a 2.5 so please dont tell people the wrong stuff. Im not being mean but you are not right..
@striketeamstudios Lmao my fault, i guess you threw me off saying fuck columbia and for some reason i thought you said us does not have the best air force.. My fault... Are you going through ROTC or just enlisting?
@ConnorTaylorBP Dont let cessnaclub fill your head with bullshit, it is not 100k, I am attending La Tech in the Fall for Pro. Aviation and doing ROTC there, to get all my liscences it will cost 30k to 35k and tution of the school you are attending.. whatever he did
@AzonaCATS10 Yeah nice...30k for what? A fucking usless CPL!!!! LOL You guys have no idea.Ask any airline pilot how much effort and what it cost them. I wanna see u fall on you ass!!
@cessnaclub Actually im attending a University and getting a Pro. Aviation degree so I know how much it cost, you sound like you are talking out of your ass or you just got ripped the fuck off, sucks for you :)
@cessnaclub Ok im a clown, redneck, and a yank? those dont mix, choose one and stick with it, and you say i need to grow up and your making up childish names on youtube... Second of all if other people that graduated in Aviation only paid that much then it is as it seems... Im sorry that you got ripped off but im just stating the facts that you can get everything you got for 70k cheaper unless you go to embry riddle which cost a shitload of money...
@AzonaCATS10 All of those 3 mix belive me!!! But for the rest of your comment I seriously dont care i was just trying to give the heads up of all the dreamers who recon they can get flying for a job for 30k. I have personally paid over 100k and if you think i got ripped off think of it this way... you can take you 30k and climb the ladder for 20 years plus. I fly for Qantas as a first officer and I have been doing so for the last 3 years.
@AzonaCATS10 Everyone that I work with spent well over 100k to get to where they are today,some of them even paid for there own 737 endos to move up faster to a better paid jobs.Im sorry if I offended you but aviation is not for the poor and stupid.Goodluck please dont bother replying.Thanks
@cessnaclub Ok, well im just saying at the University I attend it is cheaper for every liscence and everyone i know got out with a job... May I ask you where you went to school to get your liscence? im not trying to argue with you... and my goal is totally different from yours, I am going into the air force, thats why i am looking at this video, I will not be flying commercial unless i get out of the military and I will not have a problem getting a job..
@AzonaCATS10 HAHAHA I dont need to you little fuckstain,I have had my ATPL for over 8 years now. But goodluck with it LOL. No wonder America is going down the shitter with more and more dumb asses like you.
@AzonaCATS10 By the way you have a lot of growing up to do!! Life isnt black and white,nothing is never what it seems.But I probably shoulnt talk to such a smart american like yourself..LOL Your redneck parents must be so proud. :P
@ConnorTaylorBP But I know what you are thinking...You are thinking I love it so much I will fly for really cheap so i will get a job quick and i will be happy.LOL Yeah right till u realise u cant feed yourself or pay the rent.To become a pilot will cost you well over a 100k if you want to get anywhere. I would suggest become a doctor for that price instead so at least you will make money and can buy your own aircraft.:) I hope this helps you to understand the real world.
@ConnorTaylorBP This will drag on for about 3 or 4 years till you have any decent hours that are even worth looking at. Then If you want to get out of that job you will need endorsements on different aircraft.Examples C208 is about 6K,Chiftain about 2.5k,etc etc but if you really want tget your career moving you will want something bigger like a Kingair 200 endorsement which will set you back around 30k. So u see the money you spend for no return makes no sense.
@ConnorTaylorBP Let me give you a bit of an idea about how it goes.Even though you can get a CPL fro about 60k that is your basic training VFR(in other words its useless).Then you need MECIR for approx 15 to 20k depending on your flight school or your experience.Then you might get something inthe middle of the sticks thatwill pay you probably around 20k a year and you will get your ass kicked everyday buy some bush pilot that never made it.
@ConnorTaylorBP Mate you 15 you really have no idea about anything in the aviation industry.Im sorry to say but maybe keep tp your FSX it will save you money and headache.These days i see the young guys dreams bein crushed all the time because there is just no work for a low hour pilot anymore.It took me 12 years to employed by a airliner and it isnt anything you would dream about.Its just a job at the end of the day. Its exiting for about 2 weeks and thats it,money is still shit.
@cessnaclub Lighten up. If he want's to fly let god take care of it. Just because there are no gay faggots in the airline industry willing to do it doesn't mean you can crush someone elses dreams. what I'm trying to say is, get a soul you faggot.
@cessnaclub Well unlike most people that just sit around the computer all day I have flown a plane and I have begun the first step to becoming a pilot. I know a lot and I am working on the academic side of becoming a pilot. Most people just play fsx al day and call themselves pilots but I am actually working on it.
@PSNgregiskool What the fuck are u talking about shitstain? Good luck with your aviation,by the way 8 out of 10 people dont make it to airlines because they are too stupid..FACT so get used to watching it from the ground.LOL
@djenne08 I was reading somewhere that you have a better chance of getting into upt if you already have your civilian license and have some hours logged, but I'm not sure cause Im just a very intelligent 15 year old
I have a question for anyone who might have actually been an air force pilot...
Do you have to have any prior flight training before you join the air force? I personally have only ridden on an a plane when I was going on vacation. Aside from having no experience I am highly intelligent for a 17 year old and in very good shape. I just wanted to know if this lack of experience would keep me from flying...
@djenne08 highly intelligent for a 17 year old, wow, you certainly don't lack confidence. Dunno about the states, but having been in the swedish millitary, they actually prefer people without any prior experience since they want to mold the pilots themselves.
@MrBattside Your just jealous because you'll never do anything like these guys.

Jet fighters would be my #1. thing about the air force is how FEW pilots die in war. dont be scared about dying. #1 because we all die, and #2 thinkin your gonna die increases you irrationality and makes it more possible that you would die. anyways best of luck in what you choose.

@amazinglyawesomedude no dude, i want to be strictly an airline pilot (hopefully for jetblue!!!!!!)
i just want to get into the airforce so i can get training there instead of going to flight school and spending like 100,000$ because college is like 40,000 a year too

@johnmunoz18 most airlines hire airfoce pilots more than regional
guitarmanbadass 1 year ago
@guitarmanbadass thats the piont, i want to STAY AWAY from regional airlines as much as possible by getting every bit of flight time possible...the more im closer to 3,500 hours the more chances i will get hired by jetblue, or southwest
johnmunoz18 1 year ago
@johnmunoz18 but u gonna get those hours in flight courses at the airport?
guitarmanbadass 1 year ago
@guitarmanbadass yea, im moving to homestead in the winter, so ill do all that at miami international airport, or after college join the airforce, then get back out, turn my military flight license to a civilian one and start applying
johnmunoz18 1 year ago
@johnmunoz18 doesnt that costs like alllot?tahst why i wanna start at the af
guitarmanbadass 1 year ago
@guitarmanbadass me too, thats why i dont know what to pick, AF is free but i dont want to spend 10 yrs in it, but Flight schools too expensive and i might not even get all the hours i need
johnmunoz18 1 year ago
@johnmunoz18 being that the case its better to go with the airforce because u have alot of job opportunities and its very beneficial

johnmunoz18 1 year ago
@johnmunoz18 I am serious, My bro was in the army so I talked to him about the military life. I also used to work at an animal shelter and there we had a lot of military volunteers some of which were pilots in the airforce and navy. So from them I have concluded what I may do after I graduate from college. I actually wanna be an astronaut, only I am not brilliant nor lucky enough to receive such a chance. As A kid I always dreamt of flight. I do plan on the route in converting military to civil.

can you turn a military licnce to a civilian one?
johnmunoz18 1 year ago
ok my gpa is 4.5. But ppl say the higher the gpa then mostly likely your are in first place to get your tract select. Like what type of plane you would like to be flying(bomber, fighter, stealth).I am physically fit but not sure if mentally prepard because everything you do in training is wrong. Anyone know???
Hummermaniac1 1 year ago
@Hummermaniac1 4.5? what grading scale is that. I have only heard of 4.0 being the highest..
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 im in high school. not in college.My head wud be huge if i was, lol. I just need help on how to go throught it all. So first i apply at a recruiter at 18. Then I go to college for 4 yrs(must have a degree to be an officer, officer turns into pilot).Still on wait list. go to bmt. Then when i finish bmt. Where do I go? rotc or ots? which wud u recomend? Then lastly I must apply at a pilot training school. Where should I apply?did i miss anything? Thanks.
Hummermaniac1 1 year ago
@Hummermaniac1 You need to find an officer recruiter and not just a regular recruiter. He will talk to you about the Academy and ROTC. You go to college and they teach you during college. No BMT for officers, its field training during the summer of you second year. Your commander of your ROTC unit will help you get the pilot slot, he will tell you what you need to do . OTS is for people that dont do ROTC or the Academy. Where do you live and I will try and find you an officer recruiters number
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 I live in omaha, NE. Theres a airforce base(offut) by me. But I wanna fly bombers which is when track select comes in. I dont want to be in the frontlines or be placed as a ground unit if i wanna fly. thanks.
Hummermaniac1 1 year ago
@Hummermaniac1 Well it will be easier for you to get what you want because the first picks go to fighters. Did you want me to find an officer recruiter for you to call?
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 no. Ill probably sign up un the summer. Llike in june. I know a place. Very helpful though. Thank you very much!
Hummermaniac1 1 year ago
@Hummermaniac1 Ok gpa in college has nothing to do with what type of aircraft you get. Im not sure but I believe you choose your tract based on how good you do in UPT. Then you go to Intermediate training. And you need to be physically fit which is good if you are and yes you need to be mentally prepared. I am getting a degree in pro. aviation so I know more than most poeple and I have a better chance of making it through training. The drop out rate is high..
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 actually it depends on the service so stfu my cousin is a marine fighter pilot
toddieo1 1 year ago
@toddieo1 Well in that case since he is a marine then he has could have any gpa and still have a shot. They don't have a requirement. Im sure someone told you that you need at least a 3.0 because it is competitive. But I know people that have had under a 3.0 and got a slot. All depends on your major. I believe they will give someone in aeronautical engineering a little slack over a business degree. And I didnt cuss at you so show some respect.
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 you show me some respect telling me its wrong when you have no idea
toddieo1 1 year ago
@toddieo1 You were wrong and still are wrong. I looked at everything I could go into and I know everything there is that you need to do to get into pilot school. Marines and Navy have no gpa requirement but they are going to take higher gpa students so yah you do want it over 3.0. But lets say someone had a 2.8 and did way better on the ASTB, i hope you at least know what that is, they would pick that student over a 3.0 student with a lower ASTB score. You need to do some research.
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 i did do my research if you have a 2.0 you can still fly
toddieo1 1 year ago
@toddieo1 Exactly, but your chances are very low. I know where you got the you have to have a 3.0 from because to be competitive you need above a 3.0. But if everything else was awesome and your major was hard you could probably get a slot depending on how many they are taking.
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 noooo my first comment said you have to have a 2.0 not 3.0

@Hummermaniac1 You dont sign up if you are going to ROTC. Just make sure you talk to an officer recruiter if you want to be a pilot. Call up the Air Force ROTC at the college you are going to attend.
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@striketeamstudios You dont need to enlist out of high school... You need to apply to get an ROTC scholarship and if you can get into the Air Force academy even better, to be a pilot you have to have a 4 year degree, so make sure you get good grades so you can get a full ride.. and the people that will fly the f22 are the pilots that have tons of hours already because there not going to put a pilot that is new in a jet that cost so much...
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 So, if your GPA is under 3.0 you can't be a pilot?
Michael2k5 1 year ago
@Michael2k5 Yes you can be a pilot, i would try and get it up because the higher the better.. It goes off you afoqt, gpa, physical fitness, field training, and commander rating... So lets say you had under a 3.0 but you did awesome on you officer qualifying test, did good during field training, and your in good shape you still could have a chance.. Also it depends on what your major is.. Also it depends on how many people they are taking that year.. Message me if you have more questions.
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@Michael2k5 if u have a gpa of 3.0 you can be a pilot if it is under 2.0 you can not

AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 Yeah nice...30k for what? A fucking usless CPL!!!! LOL You guys have no idea.Ask any airline pilot how much effort and what it cost them. I wanna see u fall on you ass!!

Second of all if other people that graduated in Aviation only paid that much then it is as it seems... Im sorry that you got ripped off but im just stating the facts that you can get everything you got for 70k cheaper unless you go to embry riddle which cost a shitload of money...
AzonaCATS10 1 year ago
@AzonaCATS10 All of those 3 mix belive me!!! But for the rest of your comment I seriously dont care i was just trying to give the heads up of all the dreamers who recon they can get flying for a job for 30k. I have personally paid over 100k and if you think i got ripped off think of it this way... you can take you 30k and climb the ladder for 20 years plus. I fly for Qantas as a first officer and I have been doing so for the last 3 years.

@AzonaCATS10 Everyone that I work with spent well over 100k to get to where they are today,some of them even paid for there own 737 endos to move up faster to a better paid jobs.Im sorry if I offended you but aviation is not for the poor and stupid.Goodluck please dont bother replying.Thanks

@cessnaclub Ok, well im just saying at the University I attend it is cheaper for every liscence and everyone i know got out with a job... May I ask you where you went to school to get your liscence? im not trying to argue with you... and my goal is totally different from yours, I am going into the air force, thats why i am looking at this video, I will not be flying commercial unless i get out of the military and I will not have a problem getting a job..

@ConnorTaylorBP But I know what you are thinking...You are thinking I love it so much I will fly for really cheap so i will get a job quick and i will be happy.LOL Yeah right till u realise u cant feed yourself or pay the rent.To become a pilot will cost you well over a 100k if you want to get anywhere. I would suggest become a doctor for that price instead so at least you will make money and can buy your own aircraft.:) I hope this helps you to understand the real world.
cessnaclub 1 year ago
@ConnorTaylorBP This will drag on for about 3 or 4 years till you have any decent hours that are even worth looking at. Then If you want to get out of that job you will need endorsements on different aircraft.Examples C208 is about 6K,Chiftain about 2.5k,etc etc but if you really want tget your career moving you will want something bigger like a Kingair 200 endorsement which will set you back around 30k. So u see the money you spend for no return makes no sense.
cessnaclub 1 year ago
@ConnorTaylorBP Let me give you a bit of an idea about how it goes.Even though you can get a CPL fro about 60k that is your basic training VFR(in other words its useless).Then you need MECIR for approx 15 to 20k depending on your flight school or your experience.Then you might get something inthe middle of the sticks thatwill pay you probably around 20k a year and you will get your ass kicked everyday buy some bush pilot that never made it.
cessnaclub 1 year ago
@ConnorTaylorBP Mate you 15 you really have no idea about anything in the aviation industry.Im sorry to say but maybe keep tp your FSX it will save you money and headache.These days i see the young guys dreams bein crushed all the time because there is just no work for a low hour pilot anymore.It took me 12 years to employed by a airliner and it isnt anything you would dream about.Its just a job at the end of the day. Its exiting for about 2 weeks and thats it,money is still shit.

@cessnaclub Lighten up. If he want's to fly let god take care of it. Just because there are no gay faggots in the airline industry willing to do it doesn't mean you can crush someone elses dreams. what I'm trying to say is, get a soul you faggot.

I have a question for anyone who might have actually been an air force pilot...
Do you have to have any prior flight training before you join the air force? I personally have only ridden on an a plane when I was going on vacation. Aside from having no experience I am highly intelligent for a 17 year old and in very good shape. I just wanted to know if this lack of experience would keep me from flying...
djenne08 1 year ago
@djenne08 highly intelligent for a 17 year old, wow, you certainly don't lack confidence. Dunno about the states, but having been in the swedish millitary, they actually prefer people without any prior experience since they want to mold the pilots themselves.
