Why would I want to be stuck on ship for however liong they have to stay there?lol

Nice try but thats the line ALL the Air Force bubbas use to make fun of us. But I'll entertain that, lets look at a map of the great old US of A and locate where the majority of USAF's bases are located. Texas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona. Now, Navy: San Diego, Jacksonville, Seattle, Virginia Beach, Hawaii. I'll admit when I'm on a boat you'd be in the desert at an airfield, to me thats about equal suckiness, but when it comes time to go home now where are you? Seriously:


GO NAVY!!!

The reg reads something like candidates must begin UPT by their 30th birthday.

But for planning purposes, anyone wanting to fly for the AF should be interviewing at approximately 28 1/2 or younger because of the shear amount of waiting you do while your package is processed and then waiting done when your package is approved and you get a number slot for training. So, at 27, get applying son!! You don't have much more time! I got a slot at 27 and was told I would have had to gotten a slot by the next year to have hope of making it. Problem being that most AF organizations hire for the next fiscal year.

No, they have to begin SUPT by 28.5 years in Air Force (I think). Marines and Navy you have to begin prior to being 26.
