  1. Wondering the same thing about Michigan. Nothing here yet.

    I emailed on the 15th asking if notifications had gone out.  The response said applications would be finalized and notifications would go out on the 20th.. I'm guessing Monday. 

    Hey thanks for the info. I'll let you know if I hear anything

  2. Got the word from Montgomery, I'm selected, now I just need to get outta the Army stat! I owe a lot of people for all the help I've received over the years, not the least of which came from people on Baseops.net.

    Congratulations to whoever else gets selected (there should be two slots), I'll see you at the unit! For those who don't, it was good hangin out with you guys down there, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me!

    Got there! I'm happy for you dude. Best of luck!
  3. I didn't want to create a whole new thread for one question, so I figured I'd ask it here since a lot of you are in a similar situation. Can anybody tell me what happens if you're selected as an alternate for one unit, but are still applying to other units and want to try to get a primary slot there? That is, is there anything binding in nature about being selected as an alternate?

    Short answer, no.

    In fact I do believe most squadrons expect you to continue applying to other units; would it be fair for you to be on hold 1.5+ years for the first applicant to go through the background check, get to UPT, etc etc etc just to tell you "okay he/she made it! Thanks for waiting but you can move on now!"

    Sometimes stuff happens where the primary selection can't pass a background check, has a glaring medical issue, or something of that nature that they find out within a few months. When that happens, it's nice to have an alternate to send or (correct me if I'm wrong) the unit just loses that slot for that year. So everybody wins, but keep applying.
