USCav19D Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 LORs are valid for 365 days from the day that they were signed. The selection rate in May was 88.5%, so I have a good feeling for you guys! Also: when did they start referring to the GT score as the AFQT?

vutall Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am frustrated about my scores, especially when looking at everyone elses. It is also quite bothersome that there is a high chance nothing I wrote, or that the people who went out of their way to get me recommendations, will be read because the package doesnt meet the score cutoffs.

USCav19D Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't see his ASVAB listed, but his GT score is 116 neither should be an issue. The SIFT is passing, but not great. You need to work on your APFT before you're competitive. Not barely passing. Not looking pretty good. You should be working towards a 300. There are a lot of ways to get there, but they generally all include a lot of push ups, sit ups, and running. Get on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out there and get after it. The ASVAB and SIFT are yours for now, but that APFT can be improved drastically in a short amount of time with some work. If you want what you wrote or someone else wrote to be looked at, work your a** off and give them a reason to look past the other shortcomings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vutall Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't see it as being the bad guy. We need more people in the world to be blunt. I'm working, and I hope to have a better test within a month or so. Having the board pushed to September is a blessing for me. Just kind of felt like venting a bit.

Only the Active duty personnel applying for WOFT have been pushed back until September. For civs, reservists, and NG types, the July board is still a GO. At least this is the info I received.

Missed the May board because I did not have my flight physical. Sucks that I have to wait until September due to the cancelation of the July board. I have never been more driven toward anything like this. I want everything this has to offer, the experience, pay,honor to serve and so on.

Nics42 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Does anyone know their way around scheduling the flight physical? I'm being told it can take 4 months to get one as street to seat. Any help or advice is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help or advice is welcome.It really depends where you go. Some places will be backlogged more than others. I had to wait a month and a half. Your recruiter must set this up for you. Once complete, the facility will send it to Rucker for approval and then back to you stamped qualified or unqualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I drove 5 hours one way to get mine. So ask your recruiter to look around your area at other bases. MEPS here only did it once a month, ft hood takes walkins every wednesday. It was hell getting anyone on the phone about it so i decided just to drive up, got lucky since it was a wednesday and got into the pipeline that day.

Nics42 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I can only go to Cambell or Knox. I'm in Indiana so they're closest. Fort Leonard Wood flat out told my recruiter they wouldn't schedule me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
