6 Steps to Getting a Pilot Slot

I see it all too often, people want to join the military and fly for an Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve, but don’t know how to apply. There is just too much information spread all over the internet, however, there is not just one source of consolidated information. That’s why I’m going to share with you the 6 steps to getting a pilot slot in the Air Force Reserve Component.   Research            One of the biggest perks about joining the Air National Guard or the Air Force Reserves is the ability to pick your aircraft and/ or location you wish to live. As a result, you must start the process of getting a pilot slot with the research phase and find out what opportunities (aircraft and base locations) exist within the Guard and Reserve. Begin by asking yourself what it is you want out of the military, then find the opportunities that exist to help you achieve your goals and dreams.  In addition to choosing the aircraft you wish to fly; you also need to consider the base location.
