Your scores are average; depending on what type of unit you are looking to get into it might be worth re-taking.  Most of the guys that apply at my unit have mid-high 90's across the board.  The flying time is good, but don't break the bank trying to build hours in a SEL (IMO it's not worth it). If you go for an ANG unit, I HIGHLY recommend visiting a few times to try to get in the interview pool. 

Good luck. 

Thanks for the honest feed back EvilEagle. I am studying to retake the AFOQT, the first I took it was in college at the end of the semester during finals. I’m 100 percent confident I will do better and that my pilot and PCSM scores will increase. I will also fly a few more hours to bump into the 81-99 flight hour category, that alone will give me a 4 point bump on my PCSM.

There is no time limit I am aware of for the depth perception test. Also, it is never far left or far right...so now you’re down to a 1 in 3 instead of 1 in 5.

Relax. Take your time.

Long story but I have taken the test multiple times. They will never be in the same position in back to back lines, until you get to section F I think. I.e. the test is never 2-2-3, they break it up to be 2-3-2 or something similar. Does that make sense GDAL? So once you get the first one right, the odds increase to 50/50 on guessing on the next line. Also look through the circles and wiggle your toes, the doc told me that and I started to see the donuts pop out, it helped me.

Hopful_guy, you can palace chase at 2/3rds of your commitment if you
didnt commission though USAFA.

Evil Eagle,

I am in a similiar boat as hopeful_guy.  I am an 0-2 and I have
applied multiple times to AD UPT board with no luck and have expanded
my search to guard/reserve units. I have 80 PCSM and 85 pilot, should
I retake the AFOQT to increase those scores? My pilot score was a 90
but went down to 85 when the new version of the AFOQT came out.  I
have a PPL with 75 hours, working on complex/high performace
endorsement now. I have a current TS/SCI.  I also have a Flying Class
1 physical approved by AETC.

My commander is currently a F-35 pilot (WIC instructor too) and he doesnt know what else I
should do to get picked up for UPT on AD side or the guard side,
except to keep trying.
