From the previous boards and forms I’ve read some people were notified the Tuesday following the board. Meanwhile AD waits for the MILPER message to be released the following Wednesday. I know I’m anxious and excited to see the results but you just got to have patience for these things, the board just started. Wishing the best for all of you on the November board!

LordByron423 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I remember seeing on a previous board thread that there was someone who could check the list. Just give him/her your last name and last 4 of SSN# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually notified on Tuesday for the September board. Unfortunately, I was not selected last board, so I’m in the waiting game again this week. Hoping we hear something today!

MTrexler90 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Was just notified my packet could not be processed. I’ve heard the horror stories but didn’t expect it to happen to me. As mentioned on the previous page, I moved my packet from one office and into the hands of someone I trusted. It should comes as no surprise that the initial office goofed and I find myself shocked anyway. My BP was too high at MEPS. You can call it “white coat syndrome”. Anyway, they handed me a waiver and I had it completed by a clinic of my choice and submitted right away. After two weeks of hounding the recruiter, he finally gave me his word that it had been cleared and I was good to go. Fast forward to today, and the document was never cleared. Supposedly never submitted. I now wait for January. A shame this is even a thing when my flight physical BP reading was 122/78. What can ya do. Can’t dwell on it. Good luck, folks. January it is. edit: there’s a lot of evidence supporting my case. I’ve made that all available to my current recruiter. He plans to take it up to leadership.

Paperwork is the bane of the WOFT process. I almost didn't make this board because my recruiters had not put in the letter that you get at MEPS when you take the SIFT. Luckily they caught it in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordByron423 Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I saw the selection list, just got back from my recruiter's office. 47 civilian applicants on this board, 20 were selected. AVGs: APFT 265, SIFT 57, GPA 3.3 6 had PPLs 1 had post grad degree 6 B.S. 3 A.S. 12 H.S. diploma (the numbers aren't going to add up to 20 because everyone with a degree beyond H.S. diploma will also be included with those who have a H.S. diploma) I was not selected on first look. My stats are listed below. For those that were selected on 2nd look, what did you guys do to improve your packet? Right off the back I know I need to greatly improve my APFT score. How much do you think GPA factors in selection if you had to speculate. Mine is 2.3 for an A.S. in Engineering, which is one of the two weak point I think my packet has, the other being the low APFT. Age: 29 GT: 131 SIFT: 54 APFT: 233 (in my first post I typed 273 by mistake) Military: None Civilian Ed: A.S. Engineering Flight: Demo ride in R44 Helicopter Physical: Stamped. Waivers: Medical (shoulder surgery) LOR: O8 RADM (ret) who flew F-14s and F-18s O6 Army Colonel (reserves) lawyer O6 Army Colonel (ret)Military intel My U.S. Congressman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they really want to see who you are as a person, I've heard they really like LORs that know you personally, a good APFT, and a good essay now that they have eliminated the interview. I know for sure that a lot of people have to board more than once before selection so that is not a rare circumstance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordByron423 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 So I stayed up last night thinking of ways I can improve my packet for my 2nd look. The next board meets in Jan 2020. I'm going to take a few flight instruction classes. The price for it is a bit steep so I could probably only do 2 or maybe 3 between now and Jan. My question to the guys that have a PPL already is this. I keep reading things about ground instruction and the FAA Knowledge test. What exactly is that and if I were to take and pass the FAA Knowledge Test do I get a certificate? Something like that would be great to include in my improved packet. Also I'm training harder and smarter to take another APFT in Jan right before I submit my packet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
