icfadc Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Age - 31 GT - 117 SIFT - 55 APFT - 288 Military - 13 Years Active Duty (Prior Service Navy) , SSG, CIV ED - 75 Semester hours towards Bachelors Flight Hours - None Physical - G2G LOR - CO(MAJ), BC(LTC), CW4 I figured I'd start a topic for the November Board. I've been following this forum for a few months now, picked up some great info. Who else is awaiting their fate on the Nov board? 1 Quote
mike0331 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Still the ginger step-child here. My packet was in for the Sept Guard board, but the board got bumped to "late October or Early November." Guess I'll hang out here for the time being. Mike Quote
JD225 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Submitted corrections last week and finally got my extension done and submitted today. Waiting for them to tell me I'm board ready. My stats are not very good compared to everyone else's I have seen on here but I'm hopping my LORs and strong resume make up for it. Age 27GT 118SIFT 49AFPT 245Physical done but needed waiver for small heart procedure back in 099 years USCG PO2 45 or so hours A few hours stick time from when I was working on my private license but didn't even mention it in my packet. LORs O3 O6 and CW5 I have a lot of leadership schools and been recognized as a high performer and it shows in my packet so hope they see my potential. Good luck to everyone! 1 Quote

I have been following for the last 6 months or so, finally got the packet complete and submitted for this board. Had one correction that I sent in, awaiting on that board ready confirmation. Hope to see you all in Rucker! 1 Quote
icfadc Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 I checked the numbers of previous boards, the percentages seem to be pretty high. If the Army is saying its attempting to increase the number of personnel selected then it seems there will be almost a +80% chance of being selected as long as your not a dirt bag. These are active duty numbers selected vs applicants. March = 50/83May = 68/78July = 90/95September = 82/112 2 Quote
Ferguson500 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I think I'll finally be able to make this board after a year and a half of recruiters being transferred, numerous unreturned phone calls, and excuses. Age:19Degree: High School Diploma (graduated year early) 2.6 GPA😓 Also a Northwest Lineman College Graduate with 3.8 GPA but I left that out.ASVAB: 92 (nobody will tell me what my GT is)SIFT: 64Flight Time: I have 20 or so hours in a 500, but I didn't even bother mentioning it.LOR's: Colonel of Idaho Army National Guard, Brigadier General of Idaho Army National Guard, Retired Colonel of National Guard, Retired Army CW4 (human factors integration specialist, Aircrew Integration Branch, Aviation Engineering Directorate), and the Lieutenant Governor of IdahoPT: 236 (I'm going to try to retest before I submit) Other Notes: Father is retired -64 pilot Warrant Officer and now owns a helicopter construction company so I have a LOT of hours around helicopters. Also have leadership and community service being a president for 2 groups and a treasurer for my high school class. My battalion board is scheduled for next week, and then my flight phys. will follow and shouldnt have any issues. Overall, I feel decent about my packet. I would have a way better shot if I had college, wasn't 19, and had a better PT. It is what it is though. Good luck, everybody! Hope we get a 100% selection this board! Quote

Hope we get a 100% selection this board!Why did you leave out the Lineman school transcripts? If I were on the board I would not select you based on your 2.6 GPA in high school. Flight school is a difficult program and the only academic records you submitted show you would not pass. Include your flight time in your packet, it can only help you. 2 Quote

Flight school is a difficult program and the only academic records you submitted show you would not pass. Include your flight time in your packet, it can only help you. Thanks, dude... Well, first of all, my recruiter told me that they wouldn't care about my lineman school (although, I don't really take his opinion to heart). Second, I didn't want the board to question how dedicated I'll really be to the program if I didn't pursue a career that I paid 20k to go to school for. Also, doesn't my SIFT score at least say that I'm a good test taker? Anybody else have an opinion about that? I've gone back and forth about how I feel about it and would love some input. I'd also like an opinion as to whether I should include a resume or not.... I really would like to because it represents my leadership and community involvement really well, but my recruiter is telling me otherwise. I'm starting to get the feeling that he just doesn't want to do the extra work to attach my transcript and resume. Thanks again for the feedback, sir! Quote
Thedude Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 They won't care about the Lineman certification but the 3.8 GPA is a huge improvement over what you're currently showing them to be your academic ability. 1 Quote

rwood Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Has anyone received a board ready status yet? Quote
JD225 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Has anyone received a board ready status yet?No but I did email them 7 business days after I submitted my corrections and the only response I got was we will process your packet shortly. Stand by.... well Monday being he 9th and last day for corrections Im kind of hoping I dont have to fix anything else. But my buddy says no news is good news so we will see. Quote
rwood Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I got the same exact response, so I’m hoping I have no further corrections as well. Quote
icfadc Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 Has anyone received a board ready status yet? Nope, like most I'm still waiting on the board ready status, been a little over 5 weeks now. I do have one waiver though, so hope to hear an update soon. Quote
Hebertaviation Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I'm still waiting on flight Phys but I hear that's not mandatory before Battalion board. (I'm trying to get it done asap). Have you guys already interviewed for the battalion board? I'm seeing submission dates of 17 Nov. But confused if that's for Rucker or not. Quote
Docness Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Nope, like most I'm still waiting on the board ready status, been a little over 5 weeks now. I do have one waiver though, so hope to hear an update soon. Have you contacted your recruiting team yet? I hadn't heard anything, so I contacted them they let me know it was board ready. Don't be afraid to ask them. Quote
rwood Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I usually email them every Monday to get an update. This past Monday they said my corrections were pending update. Quote
icfadc Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 Have you contacted your recruiting team yet? I hadn't heard anything, so I contacted them they let me know it was board ready. Don't be afraid to ask them. Yes, I sent the status update and I'm told its awaiting final approval. Quote
icfadc Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 Anyone here have a desire to fly fixed wing? Quote
rwood Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 They must be busy this week with the four day weekend that passed. I emailed them yesterday for a packet status and no reply yet. I will be relieved once I know my packet is board ready. Quote

I will be relieved once I know my packet is board ready.I emailed them this morning and just got an email about 30 min ago saying I had 2 more corrections. I fixed them real quick and submitted. I hope Im not kicked off this board because I thought corrections were due the 9th? Quote
rwood Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Oh wow are you serious? That is exactly why I was anxious to know if they had received my correction or not in order to prevent an incident such as that. I hope that doesn't kick you off of this board. Quote
