Just got the call, PRO REC Y SNA. Hopefully I'll see you fellas in air soon!
I'm on the SWO board for August and I remember you saying there was a rumor for the required 2nd or higher choice no longer being a thing. Has anything happened to that or am I SOL for that too?Your ASTB scores are right there on the norm. I would aim for 7s at least on the AQR and PFAR. A lot of people applied for this board.
I updated my stats for the spreadsheetI'm keeping track of everyone's results as they come in (just cause I have a thing for stats) so I colored coded it and made some edits to this spreadsheet, (go numbers). Maybe it'll help the following Aviation board's applicants get an idea of stats they look for.

I was surprised as well as my chain of command. I had several people in my chain suggest I wait and take the ASTB again but I'm getting close to the age limit even with a waiver. LOL I told them I take their advice but kindly defer to my own judgment and roll the dice on this one. The MO didn't like that too much. I scored the minimums for pilot but I guess my other stuff made up for it.Wow, I'm honestly amazed that you got selected with those scores. Also, as the USMC version of AD, what platform do you work on?
It's likely your application didn't make it to the board. I would have your OR follow up, I had one who was PROBOARD, on the board list but not on the results list. We're in WTF mode right now.
