Signal2rotary Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Well, I took the SIFT today. Had taken the AFAST for my last packet in 2012, scored a 154. Was shooting for a 70 on the SIFT, and walked out with a 76. Feeling like I'm one step closer to my goal today. This was the last step for this packet. Once I have my LORs in hand(company, bn commanders, and two cw5s are working on LORs) I'll be ready to submit. I'll put my stats in the other thread for those. A little bit about myself. I switched from the Air Guard to active Army a few years ago. Tried to do street to seat before enlisting, and put my first active duty packet in back in 2012. I will be submitting for the January 15 board, hopefully third time really is the charm. 5 Quote

Creep0321 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Your going for the Jan board right? we need to start a thread for that here soon. Quote
Signal2rotary Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Yes. I wanted to get in the November one, but there was server maintenance being done on my original test date, so I got pushed back past the deadline. January's deadline is coming up in November. Quote
Creep0321 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Yea I missed the Sept cutoff for the Nov board for not having my conditional release approved (it is now) or a photo (still deployed). Quote
Signal2rotary Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, the conditional release was a pain to get. I believe they have an exception on the photo for deployed members, so you can submit and update to your dress uniform when you get back. Quote
Creep0321 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The conditional release actually wasn't too bad once I figured out who it needed to go to. I could take a picture in utilities but it was reccomended to me to just wait and get a DA photo done at Bragg when I get back in Alphas, so thats what I'll do. I should make the Jan board either way. Quote
Signal2rotary Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Feeling even better today! Took another APFT, and brought my score up to 288. Under screening weight, also, so no pointless tape test to tell me I'm 10% under allowable body fat.. Have drafts of all my LORs. Should be ready to submit by the end of the week. 2 Quote
