In other news, why does the system of disseminating this type of information have to be so broken? Like I understand wanting to give supervisors the opportunity to inform applicants of results, but why do we need (in my case) 4 entities between AFPC and the unit CC/supervisor?

Which portal page are you talking about? Rated assignments > UFT?
Yea

Based off the portal page and the comments on it, it sounds like we won’t hear anything until Friday or Tuesday
-
In the past, these things don't drop until 1200 CST... just so no one is holding their breath and panicking for the next 2 hours

That's what I'm expecting as well, although the comment on the board page makes it seem like UFT is all TDY. Looking at the previous UFT forums it looks like we will be waiting awhile until RNLT dates anyway. Cheers and best of luck!
What I have heard from the past is that IFT is a TDY, then you return to the base you are currently at. Most of the new accessions are on casual status for the first couple of months at the UPT bases. So, rather than have a bunch of seasoned officers on casual as well, the Air Force leaves you at your current base in your current job until you're much closer to the UPT start date. So I'd expect IFT TDY, return to current location and work for a few months, PCS to UPT base and start UPT.

@takingamessageThere is a PowerPoint on the Rated page however it is pretty superficial regarding the board process. Overall, the board is made up of a Sq/CC from each rated job along with the board chairman. They are briefed on how to grade the packages--essentially they take into account all details to produce a number from 6-10 which can be broken into a tenth EX. Lt. Col A rated Package A 9.2)
Most boards across the force are run like this. There are likely categories like Rated ability, work experience/leadership and adaptability etc. The BL is each rates the package and applies a score. If there is a dispute of a score over 1.5 between board members on a package, they debate and compromise. The graded packages are then taken by AFPC and they begin allocating accessions chronologically starting with the highest rated package until no jobs are left--this is the cut line. There is a lot of outside stuff like ETPs, waivers to consider, etc but this is the general process.
Also--with this board they could separate applicants by which job they have as number 1.. I really don't know
Disclaimer--I know this through understanding the OTS process and having talked with a member that aided the board process before. I have no idea if there are any specific weighted categories like PCSM and AFOQT.
As far as the weighting of importance goes, what I have heard from the rumor mill is that PCSM, PPL, and Hours are the majority of the consideration. The remainder of the AF215 then is next in importance. The recommendation letter comes after that, then the personal letter is used when it comes to really close tie breakers. In boards like these the members usually have around 2 minutes per package so it's not like they're reading everything, so that's why the actual rated info and the remainder of the AF215 are the most important.

Update:
AFPC did brief the CC but has some adjustments before the list can be signed and finalized. Still estimating week of 15-19 FEB as public release so week of 8-12 FEB will be commander release. Once the AFPC commander signs, they will update the Rated Assignments page to reflect the official release date. Happy Monday!
Did you happen to hear what the official slot allocation was?
-
Board starts today according to the PSDM. Good luck everyone
-
For pilot, allegedly, UFT was allocated 75 slots, but they're expecting that number to be smaller for the actual slots available. This was the case last year as well where they allocated 75 slots but the actual slots ended up being lower.
-
Anyone heard anything about how many slots will be available for pilot this year?

UCT Select
PCSM: 84
Pilot: 96
I really only am interested in pilot, so I am probably going to decline and re-compete next year with more flight hours under my belt.
That being said, is anyone familiar with the "bump up" process. For instance, I heard that if someone declines UPT, then they don't go straight to the alt list, they go to the next person (who is probably selected for something else) below the line based on the board's rack and stack. Can anyone confirm that? Does anyone know what that timeline looks like? I realize thats pretty much holding my breath for a long shot and also assuming a lot, but still.

For everyone having issues with commanders not seeing the release, you need to have your MPF send it to your commander.
