I'm still looking at years before I submit a package to OTS as I just started my B.S. in Information Technology. I'm certain this is the path I want to take, what advice do you have for a SrA trying to make his package look better for SSgt and OTS?

SrA Roy "Abby" Abernathy I would suggest purchasing an AFOQT study guide. They print several each year, but the test doesn't change enough to need to buy one every year. Take practice tests. Consider making flash cards of the subjects in the AFOQT you struggle with. There are several YouTube tutorial videos that are made by officers teaching enlisted on subjects in the AFOQT. There are portions that are pilot specific. So, unless you're wanting to get rated, you can focus on the areas more in-line for what you're wanting to do.

If you are single, look at attending the Air Force Academy Preparatory School for a shot at the Academy. Get your degree and commission.
