Just for some background on the collection of 215s --
Back in the 90s internet forums and websites on becoming a USAF pilot simply did not exist. Resourceful Lieutenants and Captains instead used the basic networking skills and tools they had -- people, phones, and fax machines -- to gather data about how to be successful on the active duty UFT selection board.
In my case, a friend from another ROTC unit whom I'd met at AFROTC field training also wanted to go to UPT, so he and I swapped ideas about how to get selected and lessons learned about the process. I also had a couple friends from my own AFROTC unit who were a year or two senior to me and had obtained active duty pilot slots or were in the process of re-treading from WSOs/Navs to pilots.
So, I asked the guys I knew to fax me copies of their successful 215s...and those guys usually had one or two that they'd gotten their hands on to help them write theirs. Eventually the collection grew and grew and grew.
After I got selected, my buddy from Field Training still hadn't, so we continued to swap faxes. I collected more when I went to Brooks, and even when I started SUPT myself. One day I realized that a I had a ton of these things. Unfortunately, they have been sitting on my shelf for the better part of 10 years gathering dust when they SHOULD HAVE been available for others. So...here they are.
There are three different categories of applications in the bunch presented for download on this site; first up are the Navs/WSOs, followed by a couple AWACS controllers, and then the non-rated dudes last.
Most of the forms you see in the collection were written and submitted between 1995 and 2000, but don't let their age or difference in format phase you -- "Air Force" writing hasn't changed during that time. Of course there are style differences -- if I were to write one today, I'd format it like a PRF and use as much stratification, etc, as possible, but the core basics behind successfully writing in the USAF have not significiantly changed in decades. I know as a Lieutenant I had no idea about the secret to USAF writing. I'd never seen an OPR, awards application package, or PRF in my life so I had no idea what is was supposed to look and smell like. It was quite a surprise to see what these were like when I first laid eyes on them -- the classes in AFROTC that I'd had on Air Force writing never said anything relating to the writing style these were written in.
Unfortunately, the collection I have here is only about half as many as I used to have -- I loaned out this big binder I had of the collected forms to several guys in my squadrons who were trying to apply to the boards, and many of the ones I'd collected were borrowed and not returned. Hopefully this group of 215s is still enough to be helpful.
Good luck!
