rob.pet21 13 Report post Posted October 22 Mine is still at USAREC G-3 as well. Still waiting on my waivers for age and federal service to go through.Waivers don't get processed until the week before the board. I was worried about my AFS waiver also, but the recruiter cleared it up after I started shooting emails to them all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibagod 9 Report post Posted October 22 Waivers don't get processed until the week before the board. I was worried about my AFS waiver also, but the recruiter cleared it up after I started shooting emails to them all.That might be true for Age/AFS waivers, but my Morale waiver got processed last week. I was a bit surprised because I also had heard that all waivers got processed the week before the board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gravityrideseverything 22 Report post Posted October 22 There may have been some particular reason that occurred for this particular board. We will not know. Waivers are normally processed the week before the board convenes. It is pretty consistent if you look back. I would guess it just depends on each board and how many waivers they have to review. Keep in mind we are not the only MOS that submitted but there may not be as many that required waivers etc... I would think that this is a good thing for everyone but I have a hard time getting excited without realizing there are too many variables and so much information that is not disclosed.

texmex11x 10 Report post Posted October 25 This post is pertaing to civilian street-to-seat applicants. Stopped by the recuiting office yesterday to update some stuff in my packet. Got eyes on what I think is this recuiting regions list of WOFT applicant. Alot of green "BR" status' which makes me a little nervous. Im still waiting on my waiver for approval, thinking it wont happen till the week before the board. I didnt get any names so please consult your recuiter about that. This is just an update on what I saw, which is looking good for most but of course the only thing that matters are result come this Nov. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Alot of green "BR" status' which makes me a little nervous." What does that mean? I'm a civ NPS. Also, I know that not everyone who applies to WOFT uses this forum, but does the few number of post pertaining to people posting their stats mean that this is probably going to be a smaller board? And lastly, since October was the beginning of fiscal year 2020, that would mean the Nov. board is the first WOFT board of fiscal year 2020. Does the Army tend to select more in the beginning year and then lean out as the year goes on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the Army tend to select more in the beginning year and then lean out as the year goes on? Just trying to put it out there that alot of packets are "green", mine isnt at the moment but even if it was or is, it looked like alot of poeple to be competing against, which yes does make me nervous. On the real though, last year every civilian board had 20 applicants being accepted no matter the time of year. This is just my assumtion but if I were a beting man, 20 will get picked up this board. This is the first board of the fiscal year as well, got a buddy Im flying with now, who was a Kiowa Mechanic, mention that the ass end of the fiscal year is always the most competitive due to less slots. Now that information, like most found on these threads pertaining this subject matter, is all hear say. No one actually knows why the Army (Board Member) selects who they select. What I do know, the Army makes flying extremely realistic to individuals willing to put in the work and get things done i.e. an application, service, flight school etc. The process just blows a little. Whether your prior service getting civilian training paid for by the VA, Active Army to WOFT or a civilian trying street-to-seat, the Army can get you wings. My bad for the little extra b/s at the end, I really like to fly!  1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering the additional board dates I would think that's highly likely you'll be competing against a solid amount of applicants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think only one last year was posted on the following Friday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
