    Not a GO I don’t know any just our Wing/CC which is an O-6. 
     

    And yeah I don’t want to sound salty but I def feel like I got shafted. Alas there is nothing I can do and it is what it is. 
     

    I’ll apply again for a third time next year and start looking into ANG/AFR. Honestly pretty salty about the whole deal and want to give AD the big ‘ol middle finger. I’ve been in 13 years total with my E time and I’d just like them to throw me a bone. 

    I feel you man.  To me, it always felt like the same people got what they wanted and I always got shafted.  7 more years to that retirement tho.  If you can get AGR, that would be pretty sweet.  I got some contacts with recruiters in California (KC-10, C-17, KC-135, C5).  PM me your usaf email if you are interested.

    i was on cloud 9 for about 12 hours. I think i’m gonna turn it down and try again. Hopefully i’ll make someone else’s day

    Good luck! I feel like the chances might be better next year.  This year was tough... I got CSO my first try and got RPA my second.  With my AFSC shutting down, I literally have no choice to go RPA if I want that 20 year retirement.  

    Also, that really was some dumb a** shi* pulled by your leadership.  All they had to do was read lines and names properly.

    I’m in a rated field and a non-select I thought that would be the case for me but nope. I emailed Chris this morning and I was simply not selected. Just outside the cut he said. 
     

    Which is mind boggling judging by the amount of non-rated people chosen. It just doesn’t make sense they’d take someone with 0 airmanship and military flight time over someone that’s already proven & capable. I just don’t get it. 

    My stats are E-3 FTU I-Nav, 1K+ hours, 96P/91PCSM, PPL, 3 deployments and they chose a non rate over me. 🥴

    Yo, this is def BS.  Based on that score alone you should have gotten UPT.  Did you have a GO sign your package?  I hear it helps make a difference too.

    Sorry to hear it man. Do you think you'll take it? 

    To be honest, I don't know.  Might look into some reserve options.  The shitty part about this for me is that I have to find a new career field because I declined joining the Space Force (joke away).  Air Force is disabling my 13S career field in a year.  The options are get out, find a new career field in a year other than RPA, or RPA.

    Got RPA.  Kinda bitter.  Really wished for a pilot slot.  Damn.

    PCSM 87, Pilot Score 88 w/ PPL.  Second application.

    Sincerely, congrats to everyone who got the slots they wanted.  Everyone put the hard work to get here.  I just didn't get what I wanted or thought I would get.

    I've heard the opposite, that there will be less slots available this year.  Even the PSDM states "Please note: due to the effects of COVID-10 on the flying training pipeline, certain categories may have limited opportunities when compared to previous boards".  I'm hoping that's not the case though.

    I got an update through the grapevines so take it with a grain of salt.  They were slated for 75 Pilot slots last year, but decreased the slots to only 60 this year.  However, filling these slots is another story.  Supposedly, there is a chance that the selection for pilots can be low in the 5-10 slots range due to this stupid pandemic.  I am assuming this is due to the training pipeline getting clogged.  If this happens, supposedly, there is a contingency plan to allow people to pull their applications back or not have this year count as an attempt so people can decline to apply again.  All rumorville.  

    This royally sucks.  My brother and I both got our PPLs to apply this year... Of course we had to have a damn pandemic in the process.
