Advice on going from AD Enlisted Army to AD Air Force Officer/Pilot?

I am an Active Duty Army Specialist. I have my private pilots license and 110 college credits within a year from a B.S. I am trying to apply for an Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training slot.
I'm in the process of getting my DD 368 filled out, but no one in my unit has any experience filling them out. Does anyone have any advice/recommendations for this process?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member I have a buddy that went from Enlisted Marine/Enlisted AF to AF Officer & is currently in flight school. I'll tag him & let him know to get on here w/ any advice. He'll definitely tell you to get ahold of your local AF recruiter to start you packet.

In general the AF is very unlikely to accept OS veterans. You might try the Navy or Marines.

Your dd368 NEEDS to be signed from you all the way up to the first one star in your CoC. Don't let anyone tell you different.
If you decide to fly navy instead for whatever reason feel free to shoot me a message. I transferred from the army, just got out of navy OCS and will be going to flight school soon

i was previously a snco in the af and now I’m a 2Lt in UPT. Very possible to do, hit me up if you have any questions.

No real clue, but I’d start out with elitism, they probably want Academy grads.
