SSG, 8 yrs (AFS waiver) SIFT: 45 GT: 115 APFT: 290 NCOERs: all highly qualified (4), 3 top 10% ratings. NCOERs show improvement and growth and get better with each rating period. Various leadership positions: Remedial PT instructor, Platoon SGT, Recovery NCOIC, Section Sergeant, etc Rotations to Germany, Korea, Poland. Distinguished Honor Grad at ALC, 93% GPA for BLC. 63 college credits toward a B.S. Strong letters of recommendations - CO, BC, CW5 CCWO. Very confident in my resume/summary, LORs, also my school evaluations reports, worried about my test scores. I obviously can’t retake the SIFT. Had a 115 GT score since I first enlisted, is it worth retaking it for a higher GT score? At this point I’m open to any suggestions to make my packet more competitive. Here are some of the averages for those accepted on the S2S board in May which you can use for your own knowledge. Average GT score 124 16 out of 22 selected had a bachelors - 1 with an associates - 5 with an aviation license already Average SIFT of 52 If you have time - I would suggest retaking your ASVAB - it will only help make you more competitive overall - other than that your package looks solid! Best of luck to you! 1 Quote

KennyO Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Your stats are all good enough. No offense to earlier comments, but I wouldn't worry about GT improvement or comparing to street to seat. If for some reason you're not selected, it's probably just a numbers game or you have some kind of negative records you aren't mentioning. We also can't judge what you wrote in resume, or how much you churches up your duty positions, etc., but keep in mind if they're looking at a stack of applicants, what makes you special? Remedial PT instructor sounds pretty lame, compared to the rest of the things you listed. Plenty of ways to highlight your performance and duties in a way that makes you stand out. Platoon sergeant can be because there was nobody else around and you were just showing up to work collecting a paycheck, or it can be you were selected amongst your peers as a SSG, and accomplished XYZ, improving not only Platoon but the Company/BN, because XYZ. As humbly as you can, brag about your accomplishments. If you're a dumdum like me, write stuff out in word in dumdum talk, then start from the top and literally just right click and check synonyms for the words you used for that extra razzle dazzle. Good luck, you'll probably be fine. 1 Quote

It_is_Monday Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Really doesn’t seem to be a lot of noise for this board, here’s to hoping that’s a good thing. Just two ish more weeks of existential dread while we wait for that milper to come down. I’ll be in the field, but being signal I should have access to it as long as we don’t go down for weather. In hindsight taking 30 days of leave right before the board sucks because there’s no distractions 😬. Quote
KTBF_RECON Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I agree. I havent heard much about this board either. Here to hopping that this is a small board with a bigger number of seats to fill. 1 Quote
It_is_Monday Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I know that generally mid year boards aren’t as hot I think just due to the nature of when people work on stuff but nothing to do but wait till August to see. Quote
inquisitor90 Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Ugh the wait is driving me absolutely insane lol. For S2S where do we see the selection? The MILPER at the recruiting website seems to only have in service. Recruiter told me I just have to wait until he gets notified in his system? Good luck to everyone! Quote
It_is_Monday Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 From what I understand you guys typically find out from your recruiter yeah, not sure if it’s a separate milper or what the case is. Quote

RouterRanger Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 As someone who is in, and was also selected; GT score unimportant. You over 110, you're good, SIFT score you can't do anything about, but 48 is fine. People have been selected with worse. Pray. My stats were wild the first time and I didn't get picked, second time around (like next month after) bam, was picked. Its just random AF. 1 Quote
