[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

I thought I saw that the 2021 rated board deadline was pushed to May?

Gotcha, well I'm a civilian wanting to got to OTS for pilot and I thought the rated boards were done for the year but just ran across that. I've taken the tests and all, just waiting on LORs. So I can just contact my local AD OTS recruiter right?

I saw this, anyone else know if this is correct, that Nov 13th is cutoff date for AD rated board?

I'd recommend not retaking the test man. Your scores are good. I got picked up with 3 out of the 5 AFOQT scores in the 30s. Focus your effort on rushing squadrons

I know I could still get 90s pilot score if I retook it so not worried I'd do bad, but just want to increase the other sections.  But at the same time, I know the rest of my application could use improvement too. Was there anything you wished you had known about when you rushed your first squadron?

Source: I got hired and earned some wings with a 27 Quant score. Once I’ve reached taking my socks and shoes off, I’m about done, math-wise and I hadn’t factored fractions in about 15 years, so I tanked that portion of the test. Got my balls broken in the interview, laughed about it, never heard a thing about it again.

Don't over analyze everything; just start putting together a solid app package and send it off. Good luck!

That's good to hear, what track did you end up going and how many interviews did you have until you were finally selected at a unit or AD?

What kind of airframe, was it guard? If you don't mind elaborating more that would be nice to hear!

AFOQT looks solid. PCSM is good as well. I'm assuming you have a PPL/flying time if you're already at 81hrs? If so, good. If not, you need a PPL.

 

Yup I have a PPL.

I'm 23yrs old, just got my Aerospace Engr degree with 3.28GPA.

P:97  N:82  AA:70  V:44  Q:88 / PCSM 90 with 81hrs, 97 with 201hrs

I know my verbal is weak, English is not my first language but I'm pretty fluent so don't feel that's an excuse (thoughts?). I have leadership experience as team lead of senior project, and on Formula SAE team. I've worked with civilian test pilots as an intern and recently started volunteering to help a mechanic fix GA aircraft.

I'm still currently searching for a real fulltime job to give me more leadership experience, so work in progress.

I want to go reserve/guard fighters, but I'm willing to apply to AD board. I know there's better scores out there, so I'm considering retaking the test.

Appreciate honest feedback.

This might be a dumb questions but how do you rush units, don't you need some kind of permission to get on a base typically, or how does that part work?
