TrashPanda Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Does anyone have any intel on how often someone lists CSO as #1 on the board? How much weight does the rank order have on the selection process? Does having CSO at number 1 put me over someone who has it at 2, but has a better package otherwise? I obviously am shooting for CSO due to various factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFT2022applicant Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 That's a really good question and unfortunately I don't have any insight. I do wonder how they would weigh a highly qualified candidate that doesnt make the cut for a #1 pilot slot (with CSO #2) compared to someone who listed CSO #1. It makes it even more difficult because it can be impossible to discern those that don't intend to accept anything other than pilot, potentially bumping folks out of CSO that had it listed number 1. But in two weeks our fates will be decided! Sucks we have to wait another 2 months to find out haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashPanda Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 It's board month y'all! Good luck to everyone. Based on intel that I received from AFPC, number of slots they need to fill across the board are up while the number of applicants are lower than last year.

First time applicant! Only 6 short weeks until apps are due! Yes, they will require you to go through MFS unless you are selected for ABM or CSO, or already received your FC1 at WP w/USAFSAM.

Init2 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Assuming we all get something here, when do you expect to go to training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashPanda Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 10 hours ago, Init2 said: Assuming we all get something here, when do you expect to go to training? It all depends on the training pipeline, age of the applicant, PPL/no PPL (for Pilot/RPA selects), etc. A lot of factors go into it. Most of my intel is from previous years threads and some people I personally know. There are some people who had nearly a year wait from selection to departing for their assignment at UPT. People who have a PPL have a higher likelihood of being put in an earlier class and in turn PCS before others. URT is all TDY from your current duty station for current AD members. UCT now does their own form of IFS at NAS Pensacola. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Init2 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I suppose they already know who has been selected. This is going to be a rough wait ahhhhh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANDIT_K Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It is crazy to know that the selects are probably (mostly) selected at this moment. Been trying to apply for 4+ years now and finally got my app in so I’m grateful to be in the pool. Good luck to everyone! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scat Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Perhaps not strictly for this forum but spare some thoughts for our fallen brother. A lot of us could be there soon. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2021/11/20/laughlin-air-force-base-identifies-student-pilot-killed-in-t-38c-mishap-friday/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=Socialflow+AIR&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR3ORMNzwndIb4Rgt1CuqHMLV6mSfRkwFsBZ92HXlJ5NSLWE1XjLHPSsj2A 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

URTHopeful2021 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hey guys I got selected on last years board for RPA and currently going through training. Feel free to reach out of you have any questions and best of luck on the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Init2 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I read through last years thread, it seems like we could potentially start seeing some results in the next week or two. Maybe they'll try and release results before Christmas since they're such nice and accommodating people. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email said to expect results from the board mid-Jan '22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkbird Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just hoping the results don't get delayed a month. I heard last year they took a long time to release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANDIT_K Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I know a guy who got a pilot slot on last years board who was not notified in person nor on the list when it dropped but was actually selected from the board. He found out days later I believe. Imagine that roller coaster of emotion lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFT2022applicant Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hey all, so it sounds like we will either be hearing next week or the week after. Official documentation is in routing for final approval before push. Source: Reached out to AFPC and received the above this morning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
