    Amazing story! The clip from assignment night when he received an F-15 pilot training slot was super cool. I can't imagine how great the feeling would be to finish all that work in ROTC and then also find out you're going to be a fighter pilot.

    F-22 is an amazing machine and puts out so much fire power along with stealth .... epic!!!

      That is exactly what the 95% of the guys who don't get fighter slots say too.

      JAKE-D A-SNAKE the power of
      positive thinking. you up against
      a wall of entrenched thinking.

      academy. they think their right.

      well - no - the 5% that get wings don't have to say crap like that in public

      " they think their right."
      If you can't handle basic grammar on UA-cam, you think the USAF will let you play with a $339 million jet?

    Is it possibly to start UPT after age 30, specifically for prior military?

    • @Megalodon64
      @Megalodon64 7 років тому +2

      You must be in UPT by the time you are 29. You can waiver it though.

    • @keymind117
      @keymind117 6 років тому

      Always remember there is a waiver for everything in the military, a B-52 pilot who also specializes in flight medicine told me this, but remember that since the Air Force might go a little out of their way for you, be prepared to bust your ass working for that slot.

    Question: can you become a fighter pilot as a warrant officer?

    • @alexkoble9303
      @alexkoble9303 7 років тому +7

      thehoosierfortheUK answer: the Air Force does not have warrant officers.

    • @johnhearn5043
      @johnhearn5043 7 років тому

      thehoosierfortheUK the key is test
      scores and physical. mental attitude.

    • @mississippirebel1409
      @mississippirebel1409 5 років тому

      NO! The only thing a Warrant Officer can fly is a helicopter. I spent over 10 yrs in the US army, my older brother is a Major in the air force and flies the F-15E.
