Thankfully the recruiter I've been with has been mostly responsive, though I suppose part of their screening is seeing just how much legwork you go and put in yourself towards whatever it is you're trying to do. As far as I've been told basically all I have left to do is go back to MEPS for the preliminary physical (why in gods name they don't do the Class 1 BEFORE the board is beyond me) and slap everything for my actual packet together prior to the board in January. Per the other suggestions in this thread so far though I'm definitely beating feet to get what hours I can in before that point in order to get my PCSM perked up.

I'd like to be able to go to at least a few duty stations, especially something OCONUS for at least one if possible, during my career. I've studied various parts of the PPL theory in my spare time but haven't really had the time or money to actually work on trying to get behind the stick until now. Like I said in the other reply, it's a good thing I have 2-3 months to pack it in depending on what time it is in January then.

Going active is the dream, but I'm not entirely sure on the lead time for the board's decision nor how long it would be for guard/reserve units to make a decision, thus why debating on waiting or not. I will definitely be looking into some sort of flight school though since I have until January for the board, so thank you for the heads up.

Hello there everybody, figured I'd do the same as most people on here and throw out my numbers to get some feedback since the AD board is in January. Little bit about myself, currently 26 and been in the guard since I turned 18, coming up on 8 years next month. Now you all are probably going to laugh, but hell I am too, I'm probably the only case you've seen of an enlisted Security Forces troop trying to jump in a plane, but I think I may just have the numbers to do it. GPA: 3.13 AFOQT: 92 Pilot, 86 Nav, 85 Acad, 98 Verb, 60 Quant PCSM: 62 because I have a whopping goose egg when it comes to real life seat time, however my "prospective" score as I keep seeing get thrown around in other threads is 97. That should count for something right? LORs: Still working on getting them in hand from within unit first before looking elsewhere So all things considered, should I stick with my current plan of action of waiting to see how I fare at the active board before I start fishing with other guard/reserve units or start throwing them out there ASAP?
