I am just wondering, what exactly were the acceptance rates for people who applied for a pilot slot and received 1 in the AF and/or the Navy. Thank you

When I was at the AF Academy with my son a few weeks ago the question regarding pilot slots was raised. The answer was that anyone that has not had discipline problems and that is medically qualified would most likely be able to get a slot. That is what we were told, those are not my words, so don't jump all over me if it is not correct. I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of the people doing the orientation. I don't know what it is for Navy.

I have trained 4 "King's Pointers" as USAF pilots. They all chose the USAF coming out of USMMA, were accepted, and headed off to UPT.
They've ALL done VERY well and while USAFA grads REALLY REALLY have fun with them...
They really ARE a great recruiting force in that they usually will say something like: "Oh...I served at sea, did the academy thing, and then I chose to go fly..."
And that usually will stop the rest of us dead in our tracks and we'll typically say something incredibly intelligent like" "....wow...semester at sea...WOW....uh....WOW...."

Sounds like the pitch for some swampland I mean waterview property a similar silver toungued devil was trying to sell me....
Not so far fetched... Pilot slots are typically available to about 1/2 of each graduating class, but this depends on the needs of the force. Most who desire and qualify for pilot slots eventually recieve them.
I am a USAFA ALO and the parent of a 2009 USAFA grad who received aa pilot slot.
Well...it's better than graduating from the AFA a year older than most of the people if you got denied the first time around...
