USCav19D Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 This was 100 yards but right now I'm at the POW range which goes to 300m.Do they have any 1000 yard ranges down there? If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a Bushnell HDMR, which is a pretty fine piece of glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where she is getting that date from but it would be almost impossible to have a packet ready to submit by that date. November board is a possibility though.

KING Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 My packet is around 95% completed. All I have left is a PT test, the Battalion board, and my recruiter has to write up some memos. I was told that I would need to have the Battalion board done by mid Aug to have it ready for the usarec board. I have heard of candidates submitting there packets to usarec 10 days prior to the board and being selected. So that date might be their own deadline. One thing you will learn is that different military entities work at different speeds. Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MckeeC Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Going to the battalion board in August but my recruiter seems to think I'll still be able to put my packet in for the September board so I'll go ahead and post my info here. If anyone has any experience with putting packet in after deadline or if this is even possible let me know. Trying not to get my hopes up but it sure would be nice if my recruiter wasn't just saying it to make me feel better.

Lindsey Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry should have mentioned, all of my flight experience is fixed wing sadly. No that's fine. If it was rotary I was going to ask why you didn't have your Commercial yet. But fixed-wing that makes sense since the requirements are higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Can't wait to post my stats on one of these threads! My process is only beginning, I'm literally taking the ASVAB tomorrow. But I'm motivated and shooting for the November board, assuming the deadline for the September board on USAREC is correct. I'm pretty sure the only roadblock that could hold me back would be scheduling a flight physical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian101193 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Don't jinx yourself! That's true lol but I'm not too worried. I've been preparing for the PFT and studying for the SIFT for the past month or so (long before speaking to a recruiter). I've passed a flight physical before and have been working on LoR. Basically the only things that can slow me down are things out of my control, like a time slot for a physical etc. Congrats on the 60 btw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fixed-wing that makes sense since the requirements are higher.Well honestly I should have my commercial license. I was so close it sounds stupid that I don't have it. I was about to take my checkride but literally had no funds for the past 4 months aside from the little I made at my job. I was forced to put my flying on hold and move back to my home and live with my parents. I was less than $1000 away from my commercial. It the hardest thing I've had to do because I was so close. I hope the board doesn't ask me about that because I have found it really had to explain that to people. Believe me if I had any way to stay and finish it I would have. I'd imagine a commercial license looks that much better to the board. Either way, it's in the past now so I'm just looking forward to the board. People go in there with no flight experience so hopefully what I do have will help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is the GT portion pretty much pass or fail to the board? I only got a 119 and I'm a little bit disappointed (read: ego irreparably damaged). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got a 119 and I'm a little bit disappointed (read: ego irreparably damaged).I wouldn't stress it. 119 is a good GT score and above the minimum requirement of 110. Others have been selected with lower GT scores. I believe your WO Resume and LORs will carry the majority of weight in your packet. The more experienced individuals on this thread will offer the best advice, just stating my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I know it's above average, but nobody applying for WOFT is "Army average." I guess I'm just down on it cause I took the practice ASVAB in the office and got a 93, then took the real thing and got a 78. I'll just have to really crack down and do well on the SIFT.

Study really hard. I had the same experience with the SIFT. I did pretty well on the ASVAB and thought I prepared for the SIFT, but it was much more difficult than I was expecting. Going to be a long two months!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
