Focused on 3 things for the letters: Leadership, adaptability, and potential. In your personal letter, I’d recommend trying to write about a time you overcame a hardship (against all odds, how did you overcome your challenge?) In the LOR, ENSURE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU WELL writes it (or signs off on it). This will typically be your sq cc. Several people have had people with stars give them an LOR, but its clear that it is a very generic LOR and they still dont get selected. Your recommender should be able to speak to your abilities and what youve accomplished. The board (for all prev boards) has used this grading scale: Leadership 40% (your ROP and letters) Adaptability/potential 30% (LOR and personal) Aptitute/education 30% (all your scores)

FY26 Pilot select here. Good luck yall. Sharing my stats for yalls reference. PCSM: 96 Pilot Score: 97 PPL: No Flt hrs: 11 hours Sq Ranking: 1 of 1 Wing Ranking: 6 of 7 LOR: From my sq cc I have attend the Rated Prep Program (RPP). Strongly recommend attending if possible. Applied as a 2nd Lt with zero deployments or special duties. Awards: 1x Sq quarterly award. Keep in mind that while high stats are great, the content of your LOR and personal letter weigh just as heavy. Several people have had 100 PCSMs and 100 Pilot scores with 100+ flight hours, but still do not get selected.
