WantsCheck.Com Down Until Further Notice


Due to persistent hacking, I've taken down the military flight planning website.  I will re-engineer the site with a new platform and re-launch it in the not too distant future.

WantsCheck.Com is a community driven website that has amassed more than thirteen thousand registered users since its inception more than a decade ago.  More than 650 users who were selected to attend Air Force pilot training shared their statistics, helping other hopeful aviators be more competitive.

The site's overhaul and re-launch will also include the annual cadet scholarship, which provided $1000 scholarships in 2005 and 2006, to cadets who submitted the best essay on the importance of their future oath to support and defend the Constitution.  As the first essay winner wrote in 2005:

The word “all” in the line “all enemies, foreign and domestic” is a crucial part of the oath. We are charged with ridding America of all threats. This includes both the obvious and the subtle threats. We are at war with terrorism, so clearly terrorists are enemies. There is no option but to defeat them. However, there are other enemies, some conceptual, that threaten America as well. Sometimes our own citizens can become threats to the freedoms of others. In the past few years we have heard of instances where our own citizens have joined the enemy in the war. This is one example of a “domestic” enemy. Another, less apparent example, are the small ideas that infiltrate our value systems- ideas like we should feel guilty for being the world’s foremost superpower, like the voice of dissent can be expressed in the form of violence, like we should weaken ourselves to accommodate the ideals of foreign nations. These are also domestic enemies, ones that we should combat not by physical force, but by example. Our lives should be examples of true Americanism.

Stay tuned for the re-launch of WantsCheck.Com.

    1. The best way to look for them is to find a unit and google them. Alot of the units will post in their carrer sectiosn or under pilot boards. The next best way is to go to www.guardreservejobs.com/newjobboard/

  4. Just hoping you get the site back up. I'm just an old, soon to be retired pilot and Air Force Academy Liaison Officer that loves to recommend your site to the best, most motivated young people I meet. The USAFA is not the only way to get a cockpit! Your website was a solid resource for those that were determined to find meaningful work at more than one G. Any updates?

  5. Just realized today from a prospective Guard/Reserve pilot that the website is down. I too have been giving the website out for the last 8 years as a good source for acquiring SA on how to become a US Air Force pilot.

  7. Looking forward to the site coming back online! I just wanted to update my UPT status, and what it took to over come a medical DQ. If it's your dream, do it whatever it takes to make it a reality. Never accept no as an answer! BTW, thanks for all that you do, your site was extremely helpful to me when I was going through the selection process.
