Just heard that I did not make the September board; however, second time around seems to be luckier for others.

Here are my stats:

Age: 23

GT: 114

SIFT: 41 (I know its bad)

APFT: 295

-No prior service

-No flight experience

Good luck to all other applicants! Hopefully because its the start of a new fiscal year, they will accept more people.

Yo, update to my numbers. I ran a 280 PFT. I dropped 12 points on the sit ups. The 76 sit ups are much harder than the 115 Marine crunches that I am accustomed to.

Hello all. I submitted for the November board myself. My packet and waiver were approved and the WO Recruiter I got the board ready email from claims That even though I submitted after the July Deadline, my packet was validated and board ready before this last board, so my packet was (allegedly) boarded for September. Not sure if it was or wasn’t since the list isn’t out yet. But if it wasn’t I’ll still be along for the November board.

[gravityrideseverything 31]

Where's all the message traffic? Post activity seems a little slow for this board. I doubt it is an indicator of board ready applicants but there definitely was more chatter on the previous board pages.

[eyrk 14]

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Hopefully high selection rates this board.

[gravityrideseverything 31]

We can only hope!

[Gun Chief Wu 3]

Mine is still at USAREC G-3 as well. Still waiting on my waivers for age and federal service to go through.
