Got Questions?
All BogiDope coaches are current or former military pilots who have sat on real hiring boards. They know exactly what units look for because they’ve been the ones making the selections. You’re not getting advice from someone who read about the process — you’re getting it from someone who’s lived it.
We offer five types of 1-on-1 coaching: General Strategy Sessions (big-picture planning), Application Prep (resume, cover letter, and package review), Interview Prep (mock interviews with real hiring board questions), Test Prep Tutoring (AFOQT/TBAS strategy), and Medical Consultations (navigating flight physicals and waivers). Each session is 45-60 minutes with a dedicated coach.
Individual coaching sessions are $149-199 at full price. Pro members save $50 per session, and Elite members save $80 per session. Elite members also get quarterly 1-on-1 strategy sessions and monthly small-group masterminds included in their membership — plus one FREE 60-minute session per year ($199 value) on annual plans.
Not at all — in fact, early is better. A General Strategy Session can help you build a timeline, identify weak spots in your package, and avoid common mistakes that cost applicants months of wasted effort. The earlier you get a game plan, the stronger your application will be when hiring boards open.
Pro members get discounted 1-on-1 sessions ($50 off each). Elite members get a deeper level of support: $80 off sessions, an assigned personal coach who knows your story, quarterly strategy check-ins, and monthly small-group masterminds where you work through challenges with other serious applicants. If you want ongoing accountability and a coach in your corner, Elite is the move.
Absolutely — that’s one of our most popular sessions. Your coach will run you through a realistic mock interview using questions pulled from actual hiring boards. You’ll get direct feedback on your answers, body language, and overall presentation. Most applicants who do a mock interview beforehand say it was the single most valuable thing they did to prepare.
