@Smaggy I too am a 2015 Late to Rate guy who got passed over (no negative files either). I got picked up for CSO in Oct 2019 as a fresh Capt and took 3 years to compete UCT and IQT/MQT for my mds. I showed up to my first ops squadron in March 23 just a few months before the PRF was due.
Honestly, it was a gut punch but sort of a blessing in disguise because now my family has an opportunity to choose our path forward. Im looking at Guard/Reserve units for CSOs and possibly trying to get picked up for UPT. Unfortunately, airlines don’t need CSOs 😂
