23 May 18 Pilot/NFO Selection Board

meh, worst case scenario, we die.
So you got a waiver? We were trying to avoid that process
I was worried that having the age waiver would hurt my chances, but after talking to my recruiter he said the prior service age waivers aren’t a huge deal. The CO approved it and the package was submitted. Easy peasy

From what I've read/heard non-priors never or almost never get age waivers so it makes sense why they're speeding up your process.

Oh thats a good point. I didnt realize he wasnt prior service. Yea things get a lot more tricky after that. I'm not sure if I have ever heard of someone off the street getting an age waiver for SNA.

Is it possible to be sent to OCS with a 4 day heads up? I saw a few guys on the last board say they had 5 days to drop everything and go.
It is possible but not likely. I was offered a slot on the April 29th OCS date because of spots opening. Gosh, a week wasn't enough time. I guess some people dropped or something? Usually, you'll get a decent amount of notice. But it can occasionally happen if spots open up or something happens.

Lol, do I need a better picture? That’s the second time I’ve been called a dude ?

But yeah, they basically told me I needed to get all of my paperwork in ASAP or it was really unlikely I would be able to do aviation. I turned my entire packet in 9 days after talking to a recruiter for the first time in my life...had only 48 hours to study for the ASTB and just barely got everything done on time ? It was a full time job...

The sooner the better in my opinion. I start going through withdrawals the longer i'm away from a cockpit.

Dude has no gender, my dude. Nice job getting picked up on that sort of timeframe, I think I dawdled with my personal statement for that long lol.
Dropping some knowledge! I wonder if the ASTB changes caused some slightly lower numbers..
Looking at the Feb board, they looked like they had pretty good numbers and most of those on AW indicated they got selected. This board's ASTBs weren't bad, but we are waiting a lot longer relative to what the Feb board reported on their google doc, though they did have a few standouts that were getting results a couple of weeks after the board date.
