Nice try, but RPA (what UAV's are now called) is it's own AFSC. They go to their own training, and UPT won't produce RPA pilots.

So I've been considering my career options in the military, for the most part I've been saying I want to be a fighter pilot, but I've also been giving a lot of thought to special forces. I've looked at SEALs, STOCRO, Ranger, and Green Beret, and the one that I keep going back to is Green Beret...

For the arm hang, do negatives: jump up to the bar so you're already in a pull up, then slowly go down. I jumped up about 5-6 pullups doing this. For the basketball throw, don't go straight back when you lean back, instead, twist your body and angle your arm at about a 45 degree angle. This...

I'm allergic to cats, I still had to fill out the allergy form, but I just wrote that it gave me no serious problems and that I don't take meds for it

speaking of which, does anyone have a list of all the papers that we should bring with us? All I can think of are: the national security questionnaire the SGLV life insurance form the PADD form the clothing measurements the immunizations did I miss any?

ya gotta love the enthusiasm in the young ones
