They are looking for pilots with college degrees.

The application asks you about your flight hours and experience (on any airplane). You'll also need to submit your college transcript, and letters of recommendation.

If accepted, you are full-time Air Force.

If your application is accepted, you'll become an active military member for the next 3-4 years. After that, you'll have the option to go to a part-time role if you wish.

There is a pre-screening exam.

There's a prescreening interview questionnaire that you need to fill out with your application. It asks if you have been in possession of illegal substances, or if you've ever tried to overthrow the Government. (What a weird time to be alive).

Other screening questions have to do with you or your family members having foreign interests or citizenship. You can read about it on the application page.

Good luck on your journey to becoming a part of the 148th Bulldogs.
