Hello, my name is Elias Barry. I’m an Air Force officer and instructor pilot on the KC-135. I have 7 boys and have been married for over 15 years. Before I joined the military, I was a music teacher in Arlington, Tx. My passion is teaching and I strive daily to get a little bit better at it.

In 2011 I started a blog called “Becoming an Air Force Officer” in the hopes I could help others apply to Officer Training School (OTS) for the US Air Force. After I finished that blog, life happened and I’ve struggled through it all. Though life is a constant battle, I want to get back to helping others through the internet, so here I am.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you found some of this content valuable. If you feel there’s something I can help you with, please reach out to me on any of the platforms below. I hope you have a great day!
