Lindsey Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 At the point where you can accurately anticipate board schedules and decisions you should probably submit a packet. No kidding, right? When are you all going to MEPS to get ship dates? I bet a few get mid September ship dates for end of NOV WOCS class. Quote
matteus588 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I'm heading to my recruiter's right now, MEPS tomorrow. 2 Quote

Rob1237051 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 At least they don't have to deal with the "sorry, that mos isn't available" guy. 1 Quote
Lindsey Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 I've been to meps at least 6 times in 3 years. Quote
DC8488 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Finally! I can one up Lindsey. I have been to MEPS 8 times in my life. 1 Quote
matteus588 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 This will be my third visit to that magical place. It will be the nth time I get poked and prodded by military medical. Quote
Lindsey Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Finally! I can one up Lindsey. I have been to MEPS 8 times in my life.Haha but you actually have something to show for it (an enlistment)! Quote
PhrogGuy Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hate to one up you guys. But, I have been to MEPS in two different decades, centuries and millenium (sp) and for two different services. 2 Quote
GraphiteBlur Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Congrats to all you guys. I can honestly say that for one of the few times in my life, my extreme envy is accompanied by the best of intentions and well wishes. I know we have all worked very hard on our own unique way, so enjoy every minute of the realization and know that the rest of us are not too far behind. 3 Quote
PhrogGuy Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Amen, brother. I look forward to having a beer with you all at some undetermined date in the future. Quote
DC8488 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hate to one up you guys. But, I have been to MEPS in two different decades, centuries and millenium (sp) and for two different services. We are tied on that one, pal. 1 Quote
aeroengineer Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Any idea when we will know the number of applicants vs selectees? Quote
SemperGumby Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Congratulations to those selected! I have some TH-67 study stuff (flash cards, etc) that I won't be needing anymore. Let me know if you want it. 1 Quote
tydaddy Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Congratulations to those selected! I have some TH-67 study stuff (flash cards, etc) that I won't be needing anymore. Let me know if you want it.Heck yeah! Quote
50convert Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Found out that I was not selected. Due to the march cancellation, and my 33rd birthday happening in late April, I was no longer eligible. When we first heard about the sequestration cancelling the board, we started on the age waiver. Unfortunately it takes much longer to process through and I hear the chances aren't too good, but although I'm absolutely crushed right now, I'm not giving up. Congrats to all you that were selected. Its gotta be a great feeling! 2 Quote
SemperGumby Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Heck yeah!Ty, gotta be at Rucker, man. If I am still here when you get here and no one else claims it, it's yours. Quote

matteus588 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Just talked to my recruiter's company commander (O-4), his words, "I don't think I've ever seen someone our battalion has put up for WOFT get selected without flight experience.....Don't f*ck it up!" Time to start studying. 2 Quote
aeroengineer Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Anyone more anxious to swear in then they were waiting by the phone? Quote
DMoss Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks all! Recruiters shuffled me to Montgomery today. Meps in the morning! 1 Quote
DMoss Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Any idea when we will know the number of applicants vs selectees?"Unusually high selection rate." Something like 75%. Only about 30 applicants, so I'm told. Quote
JMarsh Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Anyone more anxious to swear in then they were waiting by the phone?After waiting at meps for 10 hours I was just happy to get it over with lol. Quote
