I was wondering how and if career field release is taken into consideration. I am hoping that the "pilot shortage" would trump that if the candidate is a good fit for pilot

Ah bummer sorry to hear that. So they find out either way? Edit: as in CC's get notified early either way

If your overanalysis is correct... Today's the day boys and girls!

If it means anything, a couple guys in my squadron that got picked up last year that didn't go to IFT PCS'ed around August/September

That's encouraging to hear. Gets my hopes up we'll find out this coming week. How soon did you receive orders and pcs?

Knowing myself, I'm gonna try to not build up Tuesday in my head to mean anything but I'm gonna build up Tuesday in my head. It's gonna come and pass with no results and I'm gonna be crushed. Not to mention my CC is still on holiday leave so results could potentially release and I'm not sure I would know right away!

I'm a glass half full kind of guy... I would take that to mean results are finally out!

Not to mention when it is time to pass results, they don't even tell you via email or mail or anything direct. They notify your CoC, when your commander eventually tells you. I mean, it makes sense the commander should know if he's losing a guy but still...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year you all. I purposely waited to think about this board until today and was glad to see the projected slots increased. With around 230 applications it's looking like about a third will be selected for UPT. Fingers crossed

Since this forum isn't very active, is anybody on a different one that is more active? I've tried checking Reddit and Facebook and haven't found anything yet. Google just brings me back here. Also, are you guys following anything that is providing updates on the board? I'm in the dark and the suspense is growing.

Obviously over a year later but did you get picked up?

With about a month from potentially hearing the board results, I would expect chatter to pick up. Heck, I created an account here just this weekend! I saw your other comment they were able to find more slots. Did they elaborate on why? Is it due to the back up in the training pipeline? 99/87/no/1 My PCSM jumped from 30 to 87 when I retook the AFOQT, added 24.5 flight hours, and retook the TBAS. Flight hours are weighted much more heavily now, so yes I'd expect higher averages.

Can confirm that Strike Eagle VML cycles are 2 years and 8 months. Most "get lucky" and stay for roughly 3 years. Some unlucky ones leave right at 2 years 8 months or less

With that username, what are the odds you're a fellow strike WSO?

Hey y'all. Like everybody else I'm staying busy to keep my mind off of the suspenseful wait. Read through the comments and I hope that 40 pilot slot projection was just rumor and not true. But I could see it being true with the pipelines so backed up. I'll post my info just because: Currently holding a rated position as a 12F. 99 AFOQT, 88 PCSM (no ppl, the new flight hour scoring helped my measly 25 flight hours). 1/3 Strat. Hoping those are good enough scores, got my Wing/CC to write my letter of rec. We'll see!
