Gun Chief Wu

I’d like to but I’m up for orders: I’ve got a wife and two kids, I have to keep being the breadwinner. We’ll see, my wife and I will talk about it.

Check, six dudes.

I’m officially non-selected. They only took five commissioned officers on this go around. Pretty tough odds when competing against some studs

I just wrote a letter per the format given and got it immediately. I submitted my package a day before the deadline and it got stamped approved a week later. The approval notification and return of the package as board ready took a little longer. The routing to and from takes a bit of time

A txt message from the recruiter. Lol it was a nice txt though. We all can’t be bad ass pilots.

Welp, put me in the pile that did not get selected. We’ll see about applying for the May board or executing orders to another duty station. Good luck to those selected and those waiting to get word on their package.

I hit some folks up. I guess the board is complete but they haven’t pushed out the names of the selectees. They are holding it tight to their chest for the time being. I was also told that the MILPER message may not get released until after the thanksgiving 96.

Any active duty guys get word they got selected?

Do you know if the officer board is done as well? I’m on this board as inter-service Officer.

Good luck to everyone on next week’s board. I got the good news today that my package is board ready.

Call your nearest Guard unit and politely ask one of their CWOs if they would be able to sit down with you for an interview. I got a LOR from a CWO4 after going to my nearest guard unit. He sat and talked with me for a couple hours then agreed to write a LOR. I wrote one up which he didn’t use, wrote one even better than the one I provided. I did give him a resume and a background of my service as a Marine. All these dudes at one point or another we’re in the position of looking for LORs. As they say in the streets, come correct and I’m sure they’ll entertain you. Good luck, bro.

Unfortunately I won’t get a second look. I’m up for orders in January and will have to execute orders summer 2020. This is it for me. I will say that the recruiters I’m working with (Frye and Sanchez) are on point. They’re very professional and quick to reply to emails and answer/return calls.

So my package still isn’t board ready...waiting on age and AFS waivers to go through. When should I panic? I’ve been limiting my calls to the recruiter to once a week.

I didn’t get on the Jan board due to my conditional release not being approved. I’m an Active Duty Capt with 8 years TIS. We’ll see what happens this go around. I hope they take 10 per board and not split the allocation Between the two boards. Good luck, brother.

So you’re saying there’s a chance.
