TBNT 175th after video interview T_T

Right there with you brother. Not even going to lie: I had to take a little moment to myself after getting that email. The 175th is a great group of guys on an awesome platform, and man…yeah, just a huge, huge bummer!

But as disappointing as it was, that’s all a part of this process with so many qualified, competitive applicants, and I’m sure we’ll both land somewhere soon and be in a great situation—gotta keep that chin up, keep getting better, and keep applying! Many before us have had to have to absorb more “no’s” than they’d have liked before getting that one “yes!”, but that journey only makes that first “yes” that much sweeter. Keep focused on that!

Hang tough y’all, and all the best to you—it’s gonna work out, just stay at it!

Also, anybody hear anything back from the 176th FS or the 179th FS?

Thanks for any intel you may have!

Still on a hold pattern with the 176. I imagine they had drill this weekend and we will hear something this week.... 

Or at least I would hope so, in the event we have to make travel arrangements.... not really trying to buy a last minute plane ticket lol

Also, no clue how many people they will select for boards/slots they have available. 

Any chance y'all think they have more than one with the platform transition?

Damn, did they give you any feedback on why? 

what's next?

Na no feedback yet, but I did ask so maybe we will hear something!

 

just gotta keep applying. I just turned 29 though, so I feel the sense of urgency with so few boards for fighters the rest of the year.

Same here– TBNT after the video interview, asked for feedback and haven't had any yet. I'm 30 as well, but it's nice to at least get a hint of interest from the fighter squadrons. Good luck with the rest of them!

Annnnnnnnd 

TBNT from 176

They did offer personalized feedback though, which I think we can all agree means a lot. 

Congrats to those who got it. 

Any hints on the next fighter board? Looks like a lot of them did their boards and such in spring/summer?

Anyone hear anything from Atlantic City F-16's (177th) or Duluth F-16's (148th)?

I got an email from the 148th saying they were delayed due to a deployment. Didn’t specify when they’d have interview selections sent out.

I don’t know. I just saw the webpage said invites would be out no later than EOD today. So I expected an invite or to get ghosted lol

Pretty standard for most AFRC/Guard fighter squadrons. No other feedback or was that just the easy cut? Any ties to there?

I agree, no that wasn't the easy cut unless they weren't fully honest? Idk.

Only thing I left out was flying hours. But basically they said they had to elevate the minimums to weed out applicants to make interview selection. 

So it sounds to me like scores come first but whole person concept comes second. Only other tidbit was that if I had flight hours/a more competitive pcsm I'd be a very competitive candidate so at least I know what to work on and at least these are things I and all of you can impact for the most part (which is good). 

No ties to Wisconsin whatsoever, total rando. Hardly any ties to ang/afrc as a whole.

Gotchya. Without looking at your app it's hard to say. 

First recommendation would be to do Bogidope applicaiton/interview prep or review apps of those who have interviewed/selectees.

With the 115th, there last boards trends had some who were hired without PPL and low hours (40s) and higher was around 140. PCSM and AFOQT in your range, with no rush or ties to the area. 

They definitely look to hire from within first, but getting an interview is possible with what you presented. Keep on applying.

I appreciate it, 

Yeah I mean they were saying 80s 90s to be competitive. 

I am 80s afoqt pilot score but I'm 50s on the pcsm (probably from never having touched a stick/rudder).
