greyrider245 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 A question about West Point grads kind of relevant to this topic, what time of year do they usually enter flight training? And are they all Lieutenants, or can they opt to be Warrants? I gotta laugh because so many posts on VR & this topic especially are based on people applying/students in the program reading tea leaves trying to figure out where they'll end up. And that's why I say this question is kind of relevant to this topic.. Im being presumptuous that if Im in a class heavy with young LT's from WP they're gonna be sh*t hot and wanna take the 64's 🙏🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their selections are just as varied as the rest of the students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both ends of the spectrum exist on both the WO and O side. Some people just have “it”, and some you will be terrified every time they hit the engine start switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top LT was a Westpointer. Never know who's gonna be sh*t hot or hot sh*t. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure but I would assume it’s because guard/reserve vs active duty slots vary per class. My class total was pretty close to this last selection.

It may have changed but years ago each class started as 20 students. If everyone made it to selection and no one was guard/reserve there were 20 aircraft. If you had 5 guard guys there were 15 aircraft for selection. Sometimes classes were combined for selection and there might be hold backs from other classes that were delayed medically or failed a pt test and didn't select with their class. There are always an exact number of aircraft matched to the number of students there that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibagod Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I tried using the search to narrow my answer down but couldn't find it through all the posts... Would anyone mind explaining how selection works in regards to OML, Active Duty, NG/R, and RLOs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone mind explaining how selection works in regards to OML, Active Duty, NG/R, and RLOs? From the selection powerpoint: "Per USAACE policy, active duty officers and warrant officers select their advanced airframe based on the cumulative grades earned during the courses leading up to the completion of Common Core. USAACE G3 determines airframe MDS distributions. Compo 2/3 students are assigned aircraft by their owning state. MSC Students only fly HH-60s." (Aka 67J's) So active duty competes against each other O vs O/WO Vs WO but not O vs WO. NG/USAR/67J all should already know their advanced airframes and not really a factor, but kinda a factor. BN gets the stats for projected Army needs a day ahead or so and then everyone (active duty) is racked and stacked based on OML which the breakdown of that can be found on teams also. This is my best interpretation of everything I've seen and told from people in the pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with NG being slotted by their states ahead of time, is it accurate to say they don't "pull" from the list of airframes from the AD selection?

Yeah basically from what I understand cause the active is by active needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
