Hello Everyone,
I have been looking around the site for some time and finally jumping into posting some questions I have for you guys. I am currently an enlisted AT1 stationed Keesler AFB, MS. I am 26 and married and have been in for almost 7 years. Im finally getting off y butt and puting together a Pilot/NFO package next year. I have several questions so far that I haven't gotten some straight answers from. First, is there a time limit as to how far out documents can be submitted, for example i know you have to have an HIV test within the last 2 years, so as long as you got one within two years of your package submittion your fine. The stuff im worried about is like your Letter of Recommendations and your Interviews, if i got an interview, in Oct 2013, and didnt submit my OCS package til October the following years is that two far out or would the interview be expired? My second question is has anyone gone and got interviews and recommendation letters done with other branches of service, Air Force or Marines, I'm stationed on an AF base and have a small command with only 3 officers. I have more interaction with Air Force and Marine officers than my own really. Also would it look better for my package if i had Navy Officers instead of other branches. We have the Air Force Hurricane Hunters stationed here and if i could get some interviews or LoR from them that would help. Third, who do i talk to about submitting and age waiver to, i will be 27 next June and wont be turning in a package til after that and may not even finish OCS until after my 28th birthday and i know Pilot is at a cutoff of 29 with waivers. Ill keep this first post to these first few questions as I have many more but these are the ones that I am worried about now. Thanks everyone for the help and i apologize ahead of time if these questions have been answered before in older posts, im just hopin for a new set of eyes to give me a little guidance.
