McFuss Posted December 12, 2017 Report Posted December 12, 2017 I've seen a few of these stats posted from prospects, can we get some stats posted for the competitive profile or from those previously selected? Quote

djs74 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Posted December 12, 2017 Was going active duty your only change to your application?Essentially, yes. Going active duty came with more broadening experiences/opportunities, so my resume is more robust than before. Quote

Rzrbak63 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 My recruiter said he sent my packet to Ops for a QC. (Quality Check I believe?) I was told that they wouldn't look over it until closer to the deadline though. I understand that I need to conduct an interview with my recruiter's commander? Can anyone shed some light on that? Thanks. 1 Quote

Grumpytoast91 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I've been using this form for the last few months and figured i'd pitch in my bit... -Age: 26-GT: 120-SIFT: 53-APFT: 285-MIL: 6 years AD Air Force -Civ Ed: AA in Business-Physical: G2G-LOR: CO (Lt. Col), OIC (Capt), CW4 Thank you for all of the help throughout this process. I was hoping my SIFT score would be a bit higher but I definitely botched the Hidden Figures section as well as some of the Aeronautical Knowledge questions. Good Luck to all! 1 Quote
niner5 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 https://quizlet.com/8169652/afast-helicopter-knowledge-section-flash-cards/ If any of you feel like helping me out, would you mind glancing over these flash cards to see if they are good study material for the SIFT? I would really appreciate it. Also, have any of you noticed a correlation with a good GT score and a good SIFT? I got a 135 GT score and am just hoping it bodes well for SIFT. Thanks! Quote

They are applicable to the test, however, just use the search function and you will find everything you need to study for the SIFT. As to your GT question. They don’t always correlate, I have a friend in the pipeline with me and even though he has a higher GT score than me he scored lower on the SIFT because he is weaker on physics. 1 Quote

Dmurray Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 If i am in the Army reserves applying with a signed conditional release to Go Aviation Active am I considered a AD applicant or civilian/prior service? I was Army Reserve when I applied for AD, my recruiter processed the application as a prior service applicant. 1 Quote
peterserendenskyjr Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Awesome! I think that will give me better odds for selection? Assuming I get selected does anyone know the time frame that I would get orders to report? Like from selection how many days till my boots touch in Alabama? Hypothetically of course, Idk if I will be selected. Quote
