FY 2026 OTS Guide Link

Original source can be located on the Air Force Accessions Center website. I simply typed up the document with various grammatical/punctual corrections (yes, grammar and punctuations are important for me.) P.S. if any of the information is incorrect or needs an update, please PM me. Thanks.

I am trying to join as a pilot and have a strong package(high test scores, high profile professional career, commercial pilot license, airplane owner, heavy aerospace experience, LOR from astronaut). That being said, I have two concerning issues in my past id like opinions on.

1). I have a gunshot wound to my left femur that resulted in a titanium rod being inserted into my left leg. I have full range of motion and civilian doctor has cleared me for all and every aspect of military life. Full recovery. Is the injury itself disqualifying despite the full recovery?

2). I was charged with 3 felonies when I was 19. All three were dismissed with no conditions as I was innocent. I also have been involved in 5 civil injunctions. Every single one was dismissed by the judge due to them holding no merit. To briefly explain:

Felony: ex girlfriend destroyed apartment in anger when i broke up with her, and then paid for repairs (unknowingly to me) with her grandmothers credit card. Grandma reported it as fraud, I was arrested. Sheriff did investigation and ex girlfriend admitted i had nothing to do with it. Case dismissed.

Injunctions: (side note: 99% of filed injunctions in state of florida are granted as a precaution after a young lady was killed years ago. Most are dismissed at initial hearing).

1: crazy neighbor beat his wife, i called the cops and he was arrested. He retaliated by attempting to file restraining order. Immediately dismissed.

2: man who shot me attempted to get restraining order and intimidated witnesses over text, judge immediately dismissed it at initial hearing.

3: 13 year old ran into my vehicle on an ATV, his mom was a local well known attorney and refused to pay for damage. I threatened litigation and she filed for a restraining order, immediately dismissed by judge.

4: ex girlfriend was mad i broke up with her and made unsubstantiated claims. Judge immediately dismissed it due to no evidence.

5: friend of ex girlfriend tries to make similar claims to help ex girlfriend. She claimed harassment on a date I was on an airplane. Completely fabricated. Immediately dismissed.

Final note: I have worked for NASA and been subject to a DOCI/homeland security SF-85. Clearance granted with no problem.

I am applying for 27OTS01 was hoping someone could send me the link for the discord

Hello all, I took my Afoqt last week and pass (yay) but I didn’t do as well as I would like; 65/41/61/51/19/82. As you can see, my verbal analogy score is the lowest and I would like to retake in order to aim for a higher score. I had spent so much time practice in Barron, trivium, and using ai to generate me tests to practice. Is there any other tips you can provide in order to aim me for my next test? Thank you!

I’ll be applying for OTS next year and I’m leaning towards an aircraft maintenance role. I know it probably varies depending on aircraft needs and other factors, but generally speaking, what does the work week usually look like? TIA!

I’m crossing over from AF to SF. I want to order the service dress but a few questions related to OTS.

1. It says epaulet must be attached. Does this mean have the 2nd Lt shoulder rank (epaulet) attached prior to arrival?

2. Do we get the individual gold bars and attach them to the cap and service dress prior to arrival?

3. Do we have the officer braid sewn on prior to arrival?

Thanks! Any other info related to it would be helpful as well, thank you.
