Luofynerd Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ft Jackson: Jan 22, 2018Ft Rucker: Apr 06, 2018 I'm so excited for all you guys, getting more and more anxious about ad results. Fingers crossed the warrant board gods are generous! 100% selection rate for ad sounds overdue! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseUpNation44 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Can one of you guys check for me next week when the results are posted? I am currently TDY at Jackson for MFT and won't have access to a gov computer. SFC Sheldon, Sean - Fort Benning. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseUpNation44 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 They were very high hambone, roughly 86% and 95% if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luofynerd Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 What are the past few selection rates for AD? really good. Last month was approximately 85 QS 3 FQ-NS and 2 NC-NS so a 100% doesn't seem too far to hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luofynerd Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Especially considering there were more civilians on the last board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalcop Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Waiting as eagerly as my son whose package went to this board. Still havent heard anything yet, but the recruiting station had some issues that precluded him making the batt board until the Aug one.

Tanner37 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 When I was selected back in May it was crazy high, only like 3 people were FQ-NS and 0 NQ-NS. I'd like to say the chances are extremely high again but there is no telling with the army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalcop Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 As an inexperienced dad, is there every a posted list of civilian selects? I know I can access .mil selects via milper, but in my research of previous milper select messages it appeared to be . mil only. Ive been out 20 years and dont have any AD connects for guidance.

stearmann4 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'll concede the CFI won't help me in Advanced Airframe,BWS, etc. But If you really think It won't help me manipulate a TH-67 or 72, then maybe I made a mistake here. Trust me, I am not going to be that guy who tells everyone in my class and my IPs that I am a big Civvie CFI bow down.Byte, I had about 1,200 hours of commercial flying , CFII, MEII, and so on before I went to Rucker. Other than talking on the radios, after about 50 hours there really wasn't much difference between my grades and the other top performers in class. You have to remember, you will never, ever get 100% on a P-check ride. There have been multi-thousand hour ATP rated GOM pilots that got 96 or 98s, but so too did good students that never flew before the Army. You're graded against a standard, excess knowledge doesn't get you extra points. The Army has very defined boundaries in training as well as in the CABs..you can only show so much skill in a VMC approach, a thousand extra hours won't make it better and by the time you take your P2 check ride everyone will have done so many scripted maneuvers that it's near impossible to screw it up. It also bears mentioning that your performance in flight school is the only place it matters. There's nothing in your IATF (flight records) that says "Honor Graduate". Army Aviation is also far smaller than you'd think, the folks on the forum will most likely be your peers and superiors for the next decade or so. You sound like a real peach to have in the company, your progression and integration into a flight company has far more to do with how well you get along in the foxhole than Jedi Knight flying skills. The same pilots you chump on here will fly an assault approach, or gunnery profile as well as you by the time you're all PCs, the evaluation system makes sure of it, that's why they call it "standardization:" Mike- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am a real peach. Hell, I had a guy who was a CFI in my class, probably had close to three thousand hours in rotary wing and multi-engine fixed wing. He failed his selection APFT. That went well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luofynerd Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Ladies and gentlemen the board is officially over. Our fate has been decided. Now we wait til next week. Again good luck and I hope for all our sake the rates are still high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustchinsky Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah because the APFT is the bedrock of Pilot Prowess. Maybe if he didn't have that stupid CFI Lic he would of passed. I'm sure he'll come and post on here too about how great of an Army pilot he could be. I bet I'll have just as much fun reading it when I'm actually a pilot and he's still a washout because he couldn't even meet the minimum PT standard. Good times! The APFT is the bedrock of good soldiering. You're a soldier, Warrant Officer, and pilot - in that order. I won't waste a paragraph on you like the others, but I'll leave you with a nugget. I've worked in defense aviation for nearly 5 years. One of the key takeaways from my time around Army aviation is just how small the community is. Tread lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustchinsky Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 C- memeing, B+ flying and A- shitposting, which averages out to "Chaptered out because fat and PT was sooooo hard" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyFool117 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 You're one of those clowns that tastes the Jet Fuel when sumping the tanks for water on preflight. Backwoods aviator types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted a real pilot.Thats what separates you from everyone else on here. You're a Pilot while the rest of us are striving to be Aviators. I would like to ask you to refrain from those types of comments on this forum. Please and thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
