They aren’t cancelled it’s just people speculating.

If a board is cancelled it is typical to push the applications to the next board, and yes boards can be cancelled after the submission date, they can cancel anytime before the results are sent out.

I took the AFOQT a couple of years ago but getting a pilot slot through AF OTS is ridiculously difficult right now.
WOFT on the other hand is starting to look more and more enticing.

To clarify "right now" has been for nearly 20 years. It is just how the USAF does business.
I am too and I as well. It just everyone keeps bringing up cancellations every board thread. You are AD you know how rumors are. Just sit and wait
So pretty much you need to know someone

Not really. You just need to attend USAFA or Air Force ROTC.

Have a buddy who’s currently waiting 18 months. He got a pilot slot through USAF Academy. Still backed up also. I considered the Marine route. They told me with my PFT I’d get selected right away. I maxed push up, pull up, plank. My run time still was high just not maxed lol. It’s all about the PFT, and I wish the Navy factored in the PFT for candidates. Marines are not “backed up” they just have selected lower numbers.

This whole waiting to see if the board convenes is nerve wracking. I just switched my application around. SNA first then SNFO since my recruiter told me I can defer SNFO in case the SNA board opens again later this year. Really, I'm okay with either at the end of the day but I need to be denied/accepted from both or I'll wonder "what if I had applied to the other." I'm turning 31 in May so I'm getting close to the age limit and this was always a dream that life kinda went sideways and I went down a different career path until I realized they raised the age limit a while back and I qualified again. (Everyone I know thinks I'm insane to try switching careers at this point.)

If your overall heart is with SNA, why not just apply for that first and only choice?
Turning down SNFO can have ramifications.
At the end of the day I would accept either. I just don't want to accept SNFO without at least getting a decision on SNA either and I don't mean just not having the board not convene. The deferring was actually my recruiters idea, I didn't even know it was possible. According to him, you can only defer for up to a year if it's listed as a second choice.
