Flim Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Heinisch, So sorry brother! Do you have any stats for AD guys? Quote
rharris Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 didn't make in on this one. 57 FQ-S75 FQ-NS19 NQ-NS Not as good stats compared to last board. Time to do some updates. Quote
Flim Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Seems like a lot of AD folks applied! Guys, don't give up Quote
Ritter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I went to the board for the reserves and my name isn't on the list period! I guess that isn't a good sign haha . Quote
Heinisch Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Is there any way of finding out why you didn't get selected? Not sure where I went wrong Quote
USAR153D Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I'm looking at the memorandum now. Here's some statistics. Total applicants: 25Selected: 13Not selected: 12Average scores of selectees:GT: 123GPA (college): 3.12Apft: 261Sift: 54# high school diploma: 4# associate: 0# bachelors: 7# grad degree: 2I'd like to see the stats of the current military members who were selected!

rharris Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Again, I wasn't selected. Anyone that has been selected (AD or Civilian) that is willing to proof my resume/packet, please PM me and I will send it to you for review. Thank you. Quote
mds051 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I went to the board for the reserves and my name isn't on the list period! I guess that isn't a good sign haha . I'm in the same boat. Are we sure that the results for the Reserves comes out on this MILPER? Quote
Ritter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I'm in the same boat. Are we sure that the results for the Reserves comes out on this MILPER?That makes three of us then. Another guy from my unit went to the wo board and isnt anywhere on the list. Quote
CO2WO Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hmm that is strange. It seems like a waste of time to do separate boards for AD Army and Reserve Army. Did you reserve guys get an email or some sort of confirmation that your packet was board ready/accepted for this board? Quote
mds051 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hmmm... Well that does make me feel a little better. I guess that we will find out some other way. 2 Quote
Jon B. Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 No luck for me either. Though, a guy in my unit got picked up. Looks like I'll update and see how July treats me. Keep them heads up guys. Quote
magnus017 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I'm having a hell of a time at meps. No one has any clue about the difference between the 4 week course with phase 1 DL (which is what I need) and the long 6 week course. Ugh. Quote
Ritter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hmm that is strange. It seems like a waste of time to do separate boards for AD Army and Reserve Army. Did you reserve guys get an email or some sort of confirmation that your packet was board ready/accepted for this board? I think there are separate boards, because the reserves and national guard pick their own people, but all of the boards are held on the same day. At least that is my understanding. Also my Career Counselor said my packet made it to the board and that I was even 'unofficially selected'. So again, I'm still waiting to get the official word. Hmmm... Well that does make me feel a little better. I guess that we will find out some other way. It makes me feel better too. Yeah, I'm guessing they will update the milper message or send another one or no idea. Or HRC said 'f**k it'. haha Quote
CO2WO Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Ok, ya that's true. Well then there must be a separate memorandum for you guys. The MILPER message won't be updated more than likely and I've never seen a reserve/NG specific message on MILPER. I guess it's just hurry up and wait for you guys. Good luck all the same! 1 Quote
blackhawkbro Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I found out that even though my stats were much higher than the selectee averages, I didn't have formidable enough people writing my LOR's. I guess some people had LOR's from generals and congressmen. If you can get anybody that high up to write your letter, it's hard for the board to say no. Quote
Flim Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Blackhawk, I'm guessing the Pt got you... Get it up and find a CW letter , then you have a much better chance. Personally, I put a lot of time in my packet, but most of the effort went into the Pt. 2 Quote
Lindsey Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I found out that even though my stats were much higher than the selectee averages, I didn't have formidable enough people writing my LOR's. I guess some people had LOR's from generals and congressmen. If you can get anybody that high up to write your letter, it's hard for the board to say no.You don't need Generals and Congressmen. If you want, feel free to send me your packet and I will take a look at it and offer feedback. This offer stands for anyone not selected, by the way. Quote
Jon B. Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 *sigh* Guess it's time to start posting in the July board! *sigh* Let's get this done in July guys. My birthday is that month too, that'll make for a great birthday present. Also, I get to go home in July! Makings for a great month...? 3 Quote
Ritter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 No idea. Call your career councillor. He screen shot my name haha. Quote
mds051 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Of course he isn't answering, ha. Thanks for letting me know. Quote
Jon B. Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Congratulations again to those selected. I still have a few years yet until I'm too "old" to continue. I think I saw a MSG was selected on this board. So, maybe i'll be one of those SFC's that gets picked up and is a pain in everyone's a** during WOCS! I kid, I kid... Hope it doesn't take that long though! 2 Quote
