FalconAg Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I didn't think the 122nd was going to finalize interview selections until mid August time frame...Are you saying you got an interview notice, or just that they asked for more paperwork? Based on the initial e-mail we got after package submission, I wouldn't necessarily think anyone's completely out of the running if they haven't been contacted yet. Or that them asking for more paperwork guarantees someone an interview slot, though it would appear to be a good sign. Unless you were told something different in the e-mail/phone call from them or I'm interpreting that e-mail wrong.

agizzle Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I was emailed from the 122nd a couple weeks ago about additional information as well. He said that interview notifications would go out mid August, but maybe that has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milchstrasse Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Got the no-go e-mail from the 176th this morning -- best of luck to the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokpoacher Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Got the no-go e-mail from the 176th this morning -- best of luck to the rest of you. Same. Thought I had a shot at least, but to not even get an interview was surprising. Maybe my PCSM was too low at 89, or maybe they didn't like that I wasn't at their social. Only thing I can think of, but I'll hAve to re-examine everything now... best of luck to those who got the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconAg Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 No go for me as well. I'd be interested to know what the averages were for those selected, just to know what we were up against. Congrats and best of luck to all those who made the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agizzle Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I was a non-select as well, 88 PCSM, 89 AFOQT, prior Air Force flying experience. I imagined it had a lot to do with being around the squadron and meeting people. I was also a non-select for the 107th FS (A-10s) and in their email they said that they place high emphasis on face time and things like that so regardless of scores I think some units just aren't going to hire you unless you do the meet and greets and/or visit the unit.

Milchstrasse Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am also curious to hear what kind of stats the interview selects had. On a brighter note, got an interview with the 125th the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSpin Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Did the 125th notify by phone or email? I didn't get selected by the 107th either. I think they weighed heavily on prior military experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milchstrasse Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Phone call yesterday late in the day. The person making the calls is currently on leave though, so the results may r trickling out. What do I know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agizzle Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Last I heard was they postponed again I got an email back today, "The current UPT board is restricted to current TN ANG members only." Not too sure of the legalities of this but these are the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancormac Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I got an email back today, "The current UPT board is restricted to current TN ANG members only." Not too sure of the legalities of this but these are the facts. AZ's been doing that for years. I think they only had one that was open to anyone, recently.

agizzle Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 AZ's been doing that for years. I think they only had one that was open to anyone, recently. I prefer that than allowing people to fly out to interview knowing all the while they are only going to pick someone from their unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeLegsBanks Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 OR ANG is back on. Got this email today: "Earlier this year you showed interest in becoming a pilot in the Oregon Air National Guard. I wanted to inform you that we have opened up our application window through August 15. If you're still interested can you please re-send your original or updated application so we can include you in this board. Selected applicants will be notified in early September and can expect an interview the first weekend in October. If you have any questions you can look at the 142 fighter wing website under careers and pilot applications or email me directly. Thank you for your interest and have a wonderful day," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agizzle Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Good stuff man. Any thing in particular that you think helped you get selected? I can't say for sure because I really don't know. I would guess that my persistence and preparation helped as well as my background. I did know a person at the unit I was selected at who wrote me a letter of recommendation and introduced me to a lot of people but in the end he said it was all me (I'm sure my knowing him didn't hurt). I've applied to every unit opening across the country from the beginning of June until now so to me it's a numbers game really. The more you apply the more opportunities you open yourself up to. Keep improving your scores if possible, building hours, improving your cover letter, getting better letters of recommendations and doing mock interviews until there is no topic they can bring up that you can't speak to.
