Getting a slot at ENJJPT (Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training) at Sheppard AFB starts with getting a pilot slot. After the 2 degrees receive their AFSCs, they fill out a base selection sheet. For pilot candidates, there are five choices, one of which is Sheppard. There are only 33 slots each year available for ENJJPT so the competition is tough. In order to get one, you must have Sheppard listed as your first choice, and you must be ranked fairly high in the order of merit in your class.
One thing to note: In the past, a slot at ENJJPT used to guarantee fighters. That is no longer the case, and there are Sheppard graduates getting slots in heavies or UAS.
