The second annual enlisted remotely piloted aircraft pilot selection board meets at the Air Force's Personnel Center (AFPC) this week to identify the next enlisted group to attend RPA pilot training. The selection board mirrors that of the undergraduate flying training program as closely as possible and looks at each applicant's entire military personnel record. AFPC will release the board results, expecting to select 40 Airmen from the pool of 134, by the end of February. The application window for the 2019 board will open in April. For more information on the enlisted RPA pilot application process, visit the active-duty enlisted Assignments page on myPers from a CAC-enabled computer, or select 'Active Duty Enlisted' from the myPers dropdown menu and search 'Enlisted Pilot'.
