What is this? This is a unique opportunity to change your contract from ground to air. This will be explained more at TBS, but it's not as simple as saying, "I want to fly!" If you want to be a pilot, around MOS selection, you put your name down. There's usually only a couple slots per company. My company had one, another company had five. The Lt from my company who got competitive air was in my platoon WHOOP WHOOP and I knew he was going to get it.
I do not know much about this, I'll try to get more info, but basically you have to stand out among your peers, and there is a physical test (like deaf me would never qualify...). Also, you have to get Intermediate Swim Qualification, so during swim qualification, shoot for Intermediate. I did Intermediate just for fun, because swimming is something I'm decent at.
