I wouldn't say definitively either way but me visiting my unit before I submitted my application almost certainly helped to get an interview. I may have been given an interview if I didn't visit because of my resume but I can't say for sure and I don't regret going for a visit beforehand. Yes, it absolutely sucked financially to schedule two round trip flights while working on my PPL. Was it worth it? Well, I'm waiting for UPT so that's up to you. My advice is to search one-way on google flights (incognito so cookies don't raise your search dates) and find the cheapest flights not on the same carrier both ways. I was able to piecemeal like that, hell I took one airline to a connection and then another to my destination but that's a dangerous game to play...
Thank you for your response! It definitely is a "how bad do you want it" type of deal. Just gotta eat the costs to hope to be in the same position as you one day.

As a disclosure, I've searched through this entire thread but couldn't find the answer. I'm a current ANG enlisted member who's interviewed at only 2 guard units so far.
How does the AD selection work? Do applicants actually interview with the board? It seems as if candidates are chosen based on the package?

Is it a bad look if you reject an invitation visit a unit? Due to my proximity, it's just not financially possible for me to make two round trips (assuming I get an interview).

I used three study guides. Barrons, Trivium, and Peterson's (ARCO) and went from a 67 to a 90 pilot score.
For the pilot section, make sure you understand what the question is asking. Be familiar with the *wrong* answers as well.

After you get hired you will at least have a seat to training and then you can keep interviewing at fighter squadrons till you leave for training
How does this work if you get selected by a squadron, then let's say a few months later interview with a more appealing squadron and get selected? Are you able to rescind your selection from the first squadron?

You interviewed for the board at your home base and wasn't selected? That's strange, because ANG usually hires from within. I've seen dudes with horrible scores get selected over more qualified applicants just because they were in the ANG.
Your scores and credentials are freakin' amazing dude. I'm sure you will get picked up by any board.

Has anyone else received an email from the 181st AS in Fort Worth saying that you would be contacted by the selecting official to set up an interview? It was kind of a bizarre email. Just curious if anyone has heard anything else.
I received the same two weeks ago

How long does it usually take to receive interview invites after the closing date of application for ANG boards?

I just got started working with a recruiter overseas since we don't have one where I am residing.
Is the process of applying for the pilot board same as becoming an officer? I just completed my 2807 and qualification form. Now I have to complete a form 368. I stated in my email that I am only interested in pilot/rated officer fields.
