    I was told it's very rare, to be picked up and to consider abm or CSO

    So I'm confused... were you counseled that Pilot just isn't going to happen for you and to re-apply next time w/o pilot as a choice, or as an alternate can you choose ABM or CSO?  Let me know if you have any questions about CSO.  That said I echo argo's statement.  Don't let yourself wonder "what if" the rest of your career.

    Coming up on 1600EST, are we in for another sleepless night waiting?

    Sorry for the late post, but I was unable to post on NIPR and had to wait until I got home. 

    I called AFPC @ 1530 Central.  What I was told was that the PSDM had been signed and that it was uploaded to their email system.  Tomorrow morning the system will gen up an email to all the senior raters and be disseminated to the selected applicants.  Thursday the PSDM will post to MyPers and be available for all to view.  Sucks we suffer through another night, but this info came from the Maj managing the board so I feel like this is pretty solid info.  Thus, unless there is another hiccup/delay we will all be finding out tomorrow.  Try to make it through the night and good luck to all.

    Words are that the team suffered a delay getting it out today and that the release will be "early next week." My guess is that commanders will find out either Monday or Tuesday with the PSDM dropping the day after. Also heard that this is a good year! Best of luck everyone.

    Has anybody heard anything today?  Nothing has come down my chain yet.

    I'm on my third and final attempt at the AD UFT board.  Currently an Instructor WSO with 77 PCSM, PPL, strong letter of recommendation, and hoping to be granted a TFCSD ETP.   My next PCSM hurdle with regard to flight hours is 201+ which would get me to an 81, and cost me about ten grand.  The AFOQT I took 10 years ago is dragging my PCSM down.  It's been about that many years since I had a good grip on the AFOQT components that comprise the Pilot and Nav scores, so I'm pretty concerned that I'd tank it if I used my second attempt at it.  It's anyone's guess if I can scrape by on the whole person concept, just wondering if folks would recommend that I buckle down and try to raise my scores or let it ride.

    If nothing else, a cautionary tale to the young dudes reading this with time left to affect their scores.

    For the CSO's looking to apply in the future.

    Probably a little bit late for those applying this year, but I wanted to add my two cents.  If you took the AFOQT prior to your CSO/Nav training I would strongly suggest taking it a second time (especially if you had little to no flight experience prior to taking it the first time).  I purchased Barrons (not endorsing that product, or really any as the test has changed and I didn't find any that are full up on the new T version yet) and studied for about a week or two.  Taking the test I wasn't too sure on how I had did and didn't really feel too confident.  Well, a week later found out that my pilot went from a 68 to a 99.  I understand not wanting to get a lower score, but if you have been flying during the past 2.5+ years like the majority who will apply I strongly suggest giving it a second go.  Incidentally my Nav score dropped from a 98 to a 95 (skipped a question in block counting and had to restart after being halfway finished).  Good luck to all the applicants this board.
