Ardo09203 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I would take SemperGumbys advice and simply withdraw from the Sept board. I can only assume that your chances of being "re-selected" are nil. MissLibertyBelle- Thank you for that post, not sure why, but it was encouraging.

Ja88Af Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 New here, I didn't know there was a forum about this; otherwise I would have got on here back when I started this process in Feb., so I'm interested in hearing what everyone would prefer as their airframe?

I3uller Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 This will be the Mount Visuvius of good news after the board. I can feel it. Our doubts will be Pompeii getting completely obliterated by the selections raining down from USAREC mountain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our doubts will be Pompeii getting completely obliterated by the selections raining down from USAREC mountain.Or it'll be the Yellowstone Super Volcano darkening the skies and spewing ash into our hopes and dreams and affecting us long into the future. But I'll root for Visuvius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja88Af Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 l3uller: not active duty but was, I got out 18 Mar 2012 Age: 25ASVAB: 79 AFQT, 115 GTSIFT: 45APFT: (unsure: I was not told, but I think it was anywhere from 250-270Battalion Board: (never told me a score but I think it was good, there was 4 officers instead of 3 also, 2 Lt. Cols. and 2 Cptns)College: 22 HoursFlight Time: N/ALoRs: All former colleagues: Captain F-15E pilot / Major F-16 pilot / former commander of my sqdrn / a B1 bomber pilot / SOF-TACP at Ft. Benning / a WO-1 (high school friend) who is a rucker now training Other: CAB, AFCAM, ARCOM, resume. No PPL though or any aviation experience though :/ I'm torn between 64's and 58's myself:64's because it is the other end of the string to my last joband 58's because I have seen those guys in action, those guys are crazy and I love it The thing I'm most nervous about is that y'all seem to have flight time/ppls/better scores on stuff/ ect.I'm solely relying on my former connection with the Army and my past record to catch their attention.Rucker did approve a waiver for my left eye though (astigmatism was .50 more than what is acceptable) but for some reason they approved it and I'm thankful up to this point.

I3uller Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm former AD as well, I think it will definitely help. Will it carry your lack of college or flight experience, not sure. If you have solidly written LORs and your prior service record is good which it looks to be, you could definitely get picked up. What were your prior service details? Mos. rank etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsey Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I was a SrA (E4) TACP in the Air Force.Stationed at Ft. Carson with 4ID, you?Much respect. I'd say you have a solid shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja88Af Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I sure hope so, I'd say y'all have a better shot with your scores though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3uller Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ya that will definitely help you, the aviation tie and shooting for something greater than your average airman will speak to your dedication and drive. Maybe it's just a gut feeling but I won't be surprised at all if you are picked up. I was just a dumb E-5 scout in the 82d airborne, I got out in 2009. I'm sure your battalion board gave you the whole "Why the army?" and "Why do you want to come back in the service?" questions? Also did you have a really hard time getting conditionally released from the IRR too? It took me over a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja88Af Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Actually, surprisingly, they didn't ask me that. I'll tell you what though I froze up during my interview because I was so nervous, the room was silent for 10-15 seconds with these 4 officers staring at me and my mind was just friggin' blank. My whole life revolves around this choice so it matters to me a lot. They were humble and they knew I really cared about this, so it wasn't that catastrophic.Actually getting released from IRR took only a couple of weeks. The thing that took the longest in this whole process for me was probably getting that waiver, or maybe it just felt that way because I was really nervous while I was waiting. I don't know this whole process has taken quite a long time. But the guys here in Dallas are great they helped me a ton, they said that they've done WOFT packets quite a few times in the past.

Ja88Af Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 So you probably deployed while things were sizzling hot if you got out in 09' huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I sure hope so, I'd say y'all have a better shot with your scores though.Scores, shmores. Numbers only count for so much. TACP is a very respected AFSC. Thanks for your service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
