Luofynerd Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Seeing a lot more action on here lately and I figured I'd ask instead of sitting at my desk and just wondering....What are the chances that if enough civilians have submitted packages that civilians would be considered on this board? Crazy, I know but...just wondering...I think if there were enough that were 100% board ready it could happen, things always change last minute in the Army. That being said, they cancelled the board so far out that it would be possible that not enough people even got their battalion board done. Maybe the person who started the "may civilian board cancelled" rumor just made it up to make themselves more competitive ha wouldn't that be something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squid Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hey I resemble that comment! I wish I had just made it up but that is what the Denver recruiting battalion has been putting out since March. Quite literally I got out of my battalion board and the SFC says congrats but you have to wait till July. Just makes more work for me my conditional release expires in June so I have to get a new one to make the board. The information I was given was that the last couple of civilian boards over selected so there are no billets to give out. all this is second hand information of course. Best of luck Dgonz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeneso Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well based on recent selection rates now is a good time! Hopefully it works out for us all. I want nothing more than to fly. I don't think doing 20 years as a helicopter mechanic is gonna cut it. I get butthurt when I see all these baby faced 20 year old high school to flight school wojgs coming to fly the bird I just fixed. Doesn't seem fair ;( all work no play. I honestly think if I were a tango or uniform and actually got to fly it would be different. But 6 years in aviation and I've only flown 4 or 5 times. Apache life. I'm a peacock, they've gotta let me fly!! Lol 20 years as a maintainer is definitely not at the top of my list of things to be doing, but I do love my job. I just want to fly a whole lot more. Figured I spent a few years sitting in the back of a chinook watching guys do the job I want, getting paid well to do it I might as well get off my ass and try and do it too. Getting looked at for 7 this year too so hopefully I can make 7 and WO1 in the same year haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luofynerd Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just sent in my updates got another NCOER and 1059 from ALC. The NCOER is only a change of rater for 4 months in a section sergeant position but it is written very well and I'm ranked 1/5 of the rated NCOs in my company. So hopefully that helps. With a few days to spare !! Board is getting so close! Can't wait to find out whether all my hard work will pay off or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
