blackhawkbro Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I didn't get in. Not sure why. I had the highest test scores out of everybody on this thread and highest GPA. I guess no prior military service or flight experience did me in. Congrats to everybody who gets in. It's a great career. You're going to love it.

I guess no prior military service or flight experience did me in. Congrats to everybody who gets in. It's a great career. You're going to love it.Maybe your LORs weren't strong enough? Don't have time to go back and see who you got them from, but I know the board puts a ton of weight on them. Plus, it's not all about the rank of the writer (though it is important). The content is crucial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkbro Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I had great LOR's. One police chief, two CW4 active duty pilots, and one retired Major who was a pilot in the army. The letters were stellar. I wasn't accepted on the last board because my PT score was only 198. I got it up to 255 for this board in about 6 weeks. I thought that would have been a testament to my determination. Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritter Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Congratulations to those selected. Any news from the milpers yet? I'm still patiently (ha!)waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry bro... I would get your Pt up above a 270. You can try again, right? Â Heck, you are 28... Plenty of time. Don't give up, and go get a little flight time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, don't get discouraged and keep improving your packet. You can reapply in 6 months so make it count. Believe me, 6 months is nothing in the big scheme of things.

nskojo Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sounds like perhaps your PT didn't get updated or like Lindsey said your LORs weren't that good....don't know man but I honestly would avoid commissioned officers for LORs, not taking anything away from then as aviators or officers, just I would think a CW4/5 LOR holds more weight over a MAJ/LTC.

CO2WO Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry, Blackhawk that frickin blows. Like Lindsey said, don't quit!! Definitely get back in there!! Thanks for the info, Magnus. Interesting metrics.  I'm not home yet to check for the MILPER message. That memo is just for CIVs I believe. I'm not sure where to find the AD metrics.

blackhawkbro Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't know for sure if my PT score was updated. Here were my stats:Â ASVAB: 98, GT: 137SIFT: 65Bacherlor's degree: GPA 3.4APFT: 255Â I had two active duty CW4 pilots in my LOR's. So, I don't know what I have to do. All of my scores were above average except PT. And that was only 6 points under the average. So, I'm not sure what they want from me. I guess I have to already know how to fly a blackhawk and already be a commissioned officer to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnus017 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The memo I got was for civilian board only. It seems that they got more selective this board with just over a 50% selection rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus017 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have the full list... But I don't wanna go posting names up on a public forum. If you pm me with your name I can tell you whether or not you got picked. (Civilian board only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley13 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The memo I got was for civilian board only. It seems that they got more selective this board with just over a 50% selection rate.I think there was just double the applicants which made it drop. It looks like they are picking up right around 13 applicants per board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
