rogersndr Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Here is a message I just got from a buddy Army Pilot that wrote one of my LOR's. "So I talked with the aviation branch chief yesterday. He's a colonel, and said on this last as session board it was 100% pick up rate and that if someone were to put a packet in now they have about a 100% chance of getting picked up. His exact words so get that packet in asap." Aka everyone got in and it's looking really good to get in in March. Go get 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogersndr Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Civilian, though with that being civilian it of course means the AD side likely won't have 100%, but of course a way higher probability of making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm on the civilian side so that's good to hear, but it just further compresses the stress of trying to get everything together before the cutoff. 100% selection rate is a bit nuts though.

rrhoads17 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 So in March, they are anticipating a 100% selection rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian101193 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's correct. Does anyone have the numbers on how many civilian applied/were accepted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrhoads17 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 What's up with the high selection rates? Is it due to the AD Apache acquisition from the Guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough Actin Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think it's going in waves. The boards last year had around 200 AD applicants with 50ish selected each board. The November board had less, with 150 applicants but they still selected almost 50. This board there were only 92 applicants and 48 selected. I only know for this board the civilians had 23 apply with 20 selected. I think they are trying to get about 50 AD applicants per board selected. If there are few applicants, your chances are better. I can't imagine how they would be able to anticipate how many applicants they will have so I don't know how they could say 100% will be selected.

BrightShadow Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 For the AD side it's a 58.54% selection rate. Not bad. But I wouldn't read too much into it though, if what Tough Actin says is true then if for March 200 applicants submit look for a selection closer to 25%. Just submit the best packet you can and everything else will take care of itself. Would appreciate all those selected posting their stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogersndr Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Like I said it was just word of mouth. It wouldn't be that they are predicting how many will apply but more likely that there will be more spots open. If the trend of the amount of applicants stays the same then that bring about the possibility of all of them being selected because of more spots being open coming to the figure of 100%. Now that's just speculation, but it's definitely not bad speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
