Hello all. AD USAF commissioned type (non-flyer) interested in flying helicopters for the Army as a sister-service AD applicant. Met with a WO recruiting team on my base. One of the emphasis notes was commissioned officers can only go up for the board once a year in January. Started on my packet and found USAREC's website does say commissioned O's only can compete in the January boards. But it specifically listed Army commissioned officers, nothing about non-Army. I contacted the POC I met at the recruiting session again he sounds convinced that even as sister-service I can only go up to the January Board. Is this true? Just looking for a second opinion, as I cannot find any other documentation aside from USAREC's site. Thank you. R/ PT

Hi all I'm Alex, I'm attempting to submit my package for the next military board and am looking for some advice and answers to questions as I'm an Air Force guy and some of the Army stuff still eludes me. I'm on Active duty and am currently deployed again (volunteered for this one) .. but just found out I may be getting extended , so my WO package may be delayed by a month or so. Here's where I stand right now with my stats. Age:26 Years in Service: 8 (USAF) AFAST score: 128 GT Score: 113 LOR's = having trouble getting them completed PT test = in progress, (self test = 270 as of yesterday, 1 month until test) College: I have an Air Force Associates( Aviation Operations), AS in Professional Aeronautics as well from Embry Riddle Conditional Release = got it. Looking at a lot of your stats on here is quite intimidating. I hope I'm competitive. Questions: If I'm selected, about how long do I have to "transfer" from USAF to Army? I live right down the street from Rucker.. just deployed now so I can't really answer my own questions. Do you PCS to Rucker? So do I move my things to the area? How do I get Army uniforms, am I required to have them upon arrival? Are conditional releases good for your enlistment? I know my CC put a date on the form but the print out I received back stating approved didn't have an experiation date on it. Are people going into depth under basic training for schools on the resume? Any advice? Thanks! Alex
