Lmannino Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Never wanted anything so bad, had to turn off my dream orders to ensure my seperation would still be approved of selected.. No risk, no rewards... Hoping 3 Deployments, airborne, ranger and being an air force JTAC pulls me in. Good luck to everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedream Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I got the call around 630. I was SELECTED!! This forum board helped me in more ways than I can count. I had a last minute age waiver back in December when I turned 33, and then my recruiters turned it in late causing me to miss out on the January board due to the 6 weeks turn around time for waiver approvals. This whole process started in July last year. It has been a long trip but the payoff starts today. Thank you all for your help and congratulations to all of those who were selected. No longer a pipe dream!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydenp Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Congrats to everyone selected, I realized back in January that if I can get selected then anyone can, the board definitely looks at the whole soldier concept because I was one of those 55 selected in January and I am 25, only 4 years in service, no college, and only a 50 on the sift test but was still selected. Keep your heads up everyone and good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCav19D Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Oh, another prior service guy! I can take some heart in that. Hopefully they won't hold the fact that I'm a year shy of my B.S. against me. I'd be starting my senior year next semester if I'm a non-select. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCav19D Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 SELECTED! My recruiter sent me the MFR this morning. There were only 4 non-selects this month. If anyone hasn't heard yet, and is dying to know, then drop me a line and I'll tell you the 4. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedream Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 So enlist/contract signing is next week. Who all still has to do BCT that was a civilian select? Wondering how soon they ship you out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCav19D Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The sooner the better. If I don't head to Rucker before August then I'll probably end up using a little bit of my GI bill for the BAH bennies until I PCS. Hopefully they won't dick this up and decide I need to go through BCT again. I don't know why they would, but the Army does work in mysterious ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamer Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 BCT is the easiest thing you're going to do. Enjoy being a private. Don't talk, do what you're told, get honor grad. Too easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCav19D Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dude seriously... honor grads for BCT and OSUT? Awarded to the private that drools on himself the least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
