    I would double check the Board Results document before you decline if that's what you decide to do. I think there's a blurb in there that states if you had an approved ETP for age, then you are not eligible to reapply. I could be wrong though.

    Yeah it does specify that, but I wouldn’t need an age waiver for another 4 years! It’s really determining if I will enjoy CSO as a backup or Acquitions (which is limited at the only base my wife can go to). Fun stuff lol

    My 64 pilot score can definitely confirm it's not all numbers. 

    Yeah that’s what sucks lol. I thought my “well rounded airmen concept” would be my saving grace because I figured my numbers were mid average. Only downside was not finishing the ppl which made me 2 of 2 for applying. My wife is a CSO so things are limited. Might just take CSO and hope the age waiver stays around for the next time I apply. Would hate to apply next year and not get cso or pilot lol. Congrats on getting selected!!!! CSO was the only option I was on the fence about so of course that’s the one I get to ensure my stress levels are up 😂

  3. I did not get my first choice, so I am trying to determine if I want to accept CSO. My scores were 92p/83pcsm. I just retook the TBAS and have a 92p/94pcsm. I would like to think those numbers would guarantee me a slot next year, but looking at the wide range of selects I am not so sure. If I accept CSO I would be able to apply one more time without an age waiver. I am trying to determine if I should go for it next year or take CSO since being a CSO helps with the package and offers a great backup position!

    Third time applying for pilot and finally got it. 
     

    96P/91PCSM, PPL current CSO/NAV. 

    I guess that is the good thing about applying as rated because they won’t offer you another rated spot unless it’s what you want, so you don’t have to deny one and can apply as many times as you want to get your first pick! Congratulations on pilot!!

    I don't remember off-hand but like 60s. I took the AFOQT back in like 2014 when I was first applying for OTS. My PCSM is an 80 though so that and my LOR/personal letter are my only saving grace.

    Nice! I'm hoping I get picked up but I'm not super hopeful based on past info/scores/strats. Rooting for you @BANDIT_K. Hope the new unit is treating you well! 

    Yeah I am a numbers guy and worry about the same thing. My big dilemma is deciding if I would accept my second choice if offered. I only debate it because I feel like I could have a great package by next year, but don’t want to get to old and miss all opportunities lol. I’m not much of a gambling man, so it’s hard!

    For you second time UPT applicants, what did you put in your remarks section on the 215 for declining the first time? Was it a simple “I wanted pilot” type of response, or did you fill in the entire block trying to sell yourself for pilot again like an addition to your personal statement?

    I am not a second time applicant, but it couldn’t hurt to use as much space as you have available. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you turn down? It seems inconsistent on how many times you can deny a selection and still apply, so I was curious.
