24MAY2021 Pilot/NFO Board

[Chrdavis]

You have an O9 interview/appraisal and you’re worried? Unless that admiral didn’t give you all 10’s and a crappy write up, then I’d be a little concerned, but sounds like you have a solid chance at selection. I have x3 CAPT and x1 CDR interview/appraisal with really good write ups, perfect 10’s and feel pretty good about my chances this board. Evals, ASTB scores, and ranking are all good indicators of your overall potential. So unless something is off, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Just my perspective ??‍♂️

Sounds like you put together a solid package! Just thought I would ask because as AD we have nothing to compare to and only get little gouge

 

[Chrdavis]

Unless that O-9 is going to help get you through flight school I hope you have good PFAR or FOFAR scores.

what is considered a good score?

 

[Chrdavis]

i was told evals help the most weight and the rank of your interviews , then the way your Co ranked you as 1 of 12 is better than 1 of 1 and so on

That defiantly makes sense

@villo0692 @Snowprincess01 Double bacon cheeseburger with green peppers, onions, and A1 steak sauce. You can call me Papa John's, because I deliver.

Come on man, it’s suppose to be you eating the burger. New pics or it didn’t happen

anything over 7's should give you some amount of confidence.

I was told this years ago, and it makes sense but a LOR that doesn't say you are great will hurt more than an LOR that says you are great will help.

I’m finally on the At-Board list!!! I have been waiting for so long and the time has finally come!

I just want to say, having experienced being left off (Jan At-Board list), keep pushing yourself physically/mentally because the next board will be here before you know it!

Another hearsay, AD-board only, found to be incorrect (don’t believe everything you hear)!

I had heard the same thing so when I resubmitted my package, I made sure all of my LOR’s came directly from leadership that observed me directly. Some O6 some O5 and 1 O4. They are great quality LOR’s and they spoke to observing me for said amount of time.
Completely irrelevant but I got an interview from a NASCAR driver..... not an aviator but still a cool interview to have done.

bet we can’t hit 100 pages by board date.

 

[Triumph_MAC]

man I remember that angst before results came out....when I made second class the quotas for AEs were 12%....of course because I didn't know I made it I was already feeling like shit

"man I crushed that petty officer advancement exam..." said NO ONE EVER

Bro, HM’s had a whopping 1% for First Class at one point.

I heard that if we get to 100 pages before the board date, we all get Prorec-Ys automatically

Jesse?

Jesse?

That’s him!! Really good guy, I was surprised when he reached out and said he would sit down for an interview for my package. I didn’t apply for SWO but I thought it was still cool that he sat down with me.

Good guy, we have a few common friends, we used to chat back and forth, not so much in the past year or so.

His career has taken off here lately. He’s doing really well for himself and showing it’s possible to have successful parallel career paths.
