ENJJPT

     So recently I had a counseling sessions with my Captain, and a lot of what we went over were my plans for the future. Even though since the beginning of this blog, and actually the idea that manifested it, were these plans of me wanting to become a CRO, I had somewhat of an epiphany during our talk. When going over my recent AFOQT test scores, Commander's ranking, and other factors involved in career selection, he told me my scores were highly competitive to compete for an ENJJPT slot. ENJJPT, or "Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training", is a 55-week training school at Sheppard AFB, TX designed specifically to train pilots for Fighter Jets (F-22, F-15, F-16 etc.) It is used primarily to train jet pilots for NATO.
    When I heard this news my jaw dropped. Yeah, I always wanted to be a pilot, but a fighter pilot? There is a huge formula that calculates each potential candidate a score between 0-99. They say 80s are competitive, 90s should be just about a guaranteed slot. As it stands right now, my score is a 93.5, and I still havn't taken my TBAS (see previous post) or gone to Field Training. And if I do well in those, I can potentially raise my score to around a 97. (There are other points awarded if you have private flight hours logged already, but that is just too expensive for me).
     I;ve been doing a lot of research, watching a lot of videos and trying to get in contact with a lot of people that could help me out. Because if I was able to get a slot to ENJJPT, one of the most prestigious jet training facilities in the world, who wouldn't take that opportunity. Guess I'll have to make a decision soon though.
