Lol.After you can access your the Future Soldier and AKO websites, they should send you an email with a request to join the WOFT cyber squad. It's basically a forum with very limited information, but there is a moderator who tries to answer questions. Once a month they do a live chat. Iv'e got on a couple of times but there are not many 09W's who get on. Quote
I.am.Specialized Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Less than 72 hours till board convenes. Quote
electron_si Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I bet you guys are getting pretty antsy. Good luck to everyone on the board. 2 Quote

DC8488 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Once contracted you can set yourself up. Just need some basic info and register at AKO. Took me about 5 minutes. Quote

tydaddy Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 How many of you have a bachelors?I'm going to be in the minority but I have my BS in athletic training, MS in exercise science, and doctorate in physical therapy. Quote
aeroengineer Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I'm going to be in the minority but I have my BS in athletic training, MS in exercise science, and doctorate in physical therapy. I fear I am in the minority having not completed my degree. My only possible saving grace is aeronautical and astronautical engineering is major. But I know they seem to weigh the degree heavily.

JMarsh Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Man I would think you would be in the system as soon as you swore in and signed your contract.. Weird. My 1st sgt told me he couldn't activate my ako account until I was "in the system", which I'm apparently not. 1 Quote

But I know they seem to weigh the degree heavily. A few civilians were selected in January that did not have bachelors. I believe 3 with associates and 1 high school were taken. I was not selected and I did have a degree and a PPL, so I guess you never really know what they're putting the emphasis on. Quote
SemperGumby Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Most of the guys selected without degrees were either prior service or legacy (ex. dad is/was an CW4/5). It's just a matter of having other strengths in your packet. Quote
