gbeatte Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I am going to be going to the March board, civilian style, in Seattle. I have heard that 'the board' for active duty was a paperwork board only, no face-to-face time... Does anyone have any experience with the civilian board, just wondering what kinds of things they will be asking me? I’m sure the usual, why should we pick you questions will be in there. Just wondering if anyone had any thought on the topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone had any thought on the topic So how did it go? I also did the "civilian" version over in West Virginia. I'm prior service, so most of the questions revolved around that. How do you feel you did? Did they give you your score? I am just anxious to see USAREC post those names!!!! I've heard from a few sources that this is usually a low time in the year, in terms of the number of people that go to board. High School folks really not in the right timeframe yet, etc, etc. That helps, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went great, my time with the board was much shorter than the guys coming out of college, guess my references and personal statement spoke for themselves. Maxed the local Seattle board, but I too, am anxiously awaiting the USAREC one. Best of luck man, hopefully see ya down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maxed my board in WV, so hopefully that will help. I was looking at the USAREC website. Back in January, they posted the results on the 23rd, just 8 days after the boards. I hope our's is that quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope our's is that quick! the timeline i have been told is, usarec board is on April 5th, and results will be out the 6th... that about what you are hearing on your side of the country? i know that they might take 8 days to make it to the website, but hopefuly offical channels will work a bit faster.

See, that is what I am worried about, the "Official Channels." The recruiting office I am going through just had a guy in the last board get picked up after a waiver was approved. They didn't even know about it. He came in and told them he saw his name on the website. I mean, my packet was great, I'll give them that, but there is a lot of stuff they know nothing about. I spent a lot of time on the phone with the WOFT Recruiting Team at USAREC! Still up in the air whether I go to Boot Camp or Warrior Transition if I do get accepted, since I am prior Air Force. No one has a clue. Oh well. I think I will just have to wait until I see the results online. Might as well get back into the "Hurry Up and Wait" mindset.

daveatc1234 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Is that the standard? I'm only the second WOFT applicant to go through my local office, so they don't have answers to those questions. I guess time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveatc1234 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 ya, your packet will go to the apr 5th USAREC board Got it. Very stoked. Thanks for the info! Best of luck to us both! Are you prior service? If not, I guess you'll have to do Boot Camp. Hell, I might even have to do it if MEPS doesn't get the regs straight, which would both suck and blow simultaneously! Good time to get in better shape for WOCS though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveatc1234 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 sure did. leave for AL on the 8th of Aug MAN! Congratulations! That is awesome! My stuff is sitting up at USAREC right now being reviewed by a recruiter there prior to the May 15th board. Hopefully I will see you in Alabama! Although I have to go to Warrior Transition first if I do get selected. Again, congratulations! That is outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have to go to Warrior Transition first if I do get selected. Again, congratulations! That is outstanding! Well, more updates. Latest word out of USAREC is that prior service applicants do NOT go to Warrior Transition Course. It's direct to Rucker now. Fun. I would actually prefer to go to WTC first to get my head back in the game and get some extra PT time, although I know I am good to go. My recruiter was kind enough to drop the ball on my flight physical. Did NOT go up for the May board. Nice. However, everything is FINALLY squared away. Finally. I decided to go direct to USAREC for all my questions, and I will go up in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, nothing beats a Blackhawk;) Alex I'll take whatever I can get, but I am definitely shooting for Blackhawk. They say I am too tall for the Kiowa. Fingers crossed. June 7th is the board.

daveatc1234 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Just got the call. Got selected! No word on a shipdate or anything like that. Totally psyched. Thanks for all the great info on the board here. It is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkdriver Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Congrats! I have yet to see too many people "too" tall to fly the 58 though! Despite what they tell you at the clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
