aeroengineer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Just talked to my recruiter. Was told that our SIFT scores are in fact scanned into the system as a visible score. They are scanned in for sure. I just heard when the packet is printed off and put together they are not included. I would of course suggest doing your best regardless.

aeroengineer Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 And if they do look at the sift my recruiter needs to get it scanned in over my afast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndGen Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I am fully aware that the SIFT is an aptitude test, but in my opinion, preparation and determination are aptitudes to be measured. Agreed, 100%. My deal is that you can't have an aptitude test and also have a minimum score to qualify. If they want it to qualify people make it a big huge test and make study guides. If theyWant to gauge someone's aptitude, make the test some enormous amount of questions and measure it based on how far an applicant gets vs. correct answers in a given amount of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1237051 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah they could make it like the FAA exams. A few days of reading questions and answers and voila....I can fix your helicopter...Oh and a practical exam in a dodgy warehouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed up for my O&P and I would never have done any aviation maintenace in that shop, and this place was a votech for teaching A&P mechanics. The 8 months of hoops I had to jump through to get reimbursed by the VA was harder than actually getting my certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogGuy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I take my SIFT the morning of the 11th. I'll be the first person to take it here in Okinawa, Japan. As for being boarded, I'm hoping to get everything in, completed, and sent off in time to get looked at on the May board, but more than likely the July one. I get so many cockeyed looks for being a 29 year old Marine SSgt, applying for the WOFT... I was actually about to do up one of the oh so many "Intro/progress/update" posts. I haven't seen any from Marines though, mostly NG and AD guys.....could prove to be interesting....Just saw your thread. Got the same look. Semper Fi, brother.

SemperGumby Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just saw your thread. Got the same look. Semper Fi, brother. There were seven Former Marines in my WOCS class. It doesn't seem to be uncommon in Army Aviation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jag32 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Two crewchiefs, me and two other grunts, one recon, one scout sniper.Good mix. I'm an 0211, formerly an 0351, I know of at least one other 0211 who was accepted last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperVolans Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Two crewchiefs, me and two other grunts, one recon, one scout sniper.Sounds like a pretty good group of well trained motivators. Hope I get a mix like this if I'm selected. That way I can add my Personnel clerk experience to the mix. 0121 Semper Pogue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperGumby Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 LOL Yeah, the Recon guy was top dog all throughout WOCS, BOLC, and the UH-60 course. Great guy. You'll be in good company, even out in the units. It's gonna be a long road but trust me, when you get near the end of flight school, it'll feel like it went by quickly. Just not while you're waking up at 0300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun in flight school, they said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
