Switchmitch Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Trust but verify is the biggest lesson I've learned through this process of putting my packet together. While I trust my recruiter, I want to verify that what he told me this week is correct, since I have not been able to verify any of it. 1- The next board deadline is June 5th for the July board. Everything I've read on the USAREC site says May 15th is the deadline for the July board and June 5th is nowhere to be found. 2- Flight physicals are no longer required for a WOFT packet due to COVID-19 3- An APFT score is not required for packets since the APFT has been suspended due to Covid-19 Are any of the above true?

DubbG29 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I find this very hard to believe. My recruiter told me tonight he believed only active duty are on the March and May boards. Which I don't believe as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedude Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 The Army does a lot of dumb stuff so I wouldn't put it past them to select flight candidates without even knowing if they can pass a fitness test or are even medically qualified. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Sounds highly questionable. When you finish WOCS you get another flight physical, you wont fly without an up slip period. I doubt they’d just gamble and let people through without the initial one. Also, PT scores are one of the most heavily weighed parts of the packet. If I were you Id call other recruiting stations and try to verify this info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7051 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 The recruiters see different deadlines for some reason. When we were putting my packet together, we were following a power point from their command or Ft Know or whoever, and the dead line was way closer to the board date than what was on usarec. So, I don't really know. Also, I am supposed to be on he "May board". They sent my corrections in yesterday, which was May 7th. So who really knows 🤷♂️. I don't know if they are different to active service and civilian. Remember, that usarec is tailored for service members. 18 hours ago, DubbG29 said: I find this very hard to believe.

Seminole Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Active duty are on every board. The only thing Ive heard of thats on 2 boards a year is commissioned officers trying to revert to warrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying that civilians are excluded from the March and May board. Which I believe he is mistaken. I'm under the impression that no one knows what the hell is going on right now.

Fabulous Jewfro Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 So can someone confirm this or deny it? The deadline for July boards coming up and the only thing I'm waiting on is the flight phys , so it could make a world of difference lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a Hail Mary if true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
