Crap, I'm so sorry. If I run into you in the future, I will buy you beer.

I am also a chosen one, so thank you and congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!

Got called today. Pilot slot!!!!!!!!! Edit: for OTS

Affirmative. I heard 3/27 for the OTS board

I was just told 3/27 :/

Argh. Thanks, man. Gotta be patient :(

My recruiter said they'd release the selects on March 6th. *looks at calendar* *crosses fingers* I'm just a civilian chick with 95 pilot, 94 pcsm, and 100-something hours. We'll see how this goes...

Great, thanks!

Regarding Active Duty pilot selection: What is the general timeline for things if you find out you're selected? For this board we're supposed to have the results in February. Approximately when could you expect to go off to officer training, UPT, etc?

Yes, that one. They're having the board on Jan 23. Either they have pilot slots or I've been grossly misled. Recent quote from my recruiter: "I am very optimistic that you will get a pilot slot!" Well, none of y'all seemed to know about this, so.... less competition maybe? Muahaha.

I was going to apply to that board but then my recruiter said there were only RPA slots. She she called me some months later and said they have regular pilot slots so I applied. An officer recruiter confirmed this. Can you ever find out how many and what kind of pilots they need (fighters vs. heavies)? I'd kinda prefer heavies...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll see how this weekend's interview goes then very seriously consider seeking professional help. ...hehe that sounds funny...

Your perseverance and success are inspiring. I feel ashamed for saying anything, haha. Thank you for sharing

I just got another "no." That's three "no's" and one "we have to say no but we really don't wanna so please apply next time and we'll probably maybe say yes....???" What do y'all do when you get discouraged? I feel down because look great on paper and get an interview wherever I apply, but I seem to just stink at interviewing (yes, I've practiced with people). Just gonna keep tryin' and look into active duty....

Is the 136th AW really having a board soon? And the 193rd SOW? I can't find any information...

Anyone else interviewing in Schenectady in two weeks??? :)

A few from Montana: Tell us about yourself. What do you know about this unit? If you could choose any aircraft to fly, what would it be and why? What one mission would you want to fly before you retire? I mentioned something humanitarian... Which opened a can of worms about equipping C-130's with guns or shipping guns and how I'd feel about being directly responsible for killing someone. A few scenario-based questions putting me in a position of authority. E.g. The navigator outranks you but you're the one in charge of the mission, weather is at minimum he doesn't want to fly what do you do? Ugh it's all a blur now... I could have done sooo much better.... They were very laid back and friendly. Only three pilots on the board. Great guys.

Hey! New here... I had my first interview in Montana back in August. Didn't get selected, but I got to meet some really awesome guys. Anyone else apply to 109th AW? I heard it's especially competitive, what with ski equipped LC-130... Anyway, the information available on this site is great, esp. the page with all the sample interview questions. So thanks, everyone.
