Lindsey Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share 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.

PhrogGuy Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphiteBlur Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroengineer Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Any idea when we will know the number of applicants vs selectees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperGumby Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50convert Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperGumby Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteus588 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMoss Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
