So where would we see the at-board list when it does come out?

Someone from this thread is going to kindly post it here or will ask us to DM them our inquiry. I read earlier somewhere that they didn't post it online (only viewable from a military site with proper access) because they didn't want that list to be made public ?‍♂️

The age waiver process was fairly straight forward however it is a time-tedious process. I'm ina similar situation as you are (turn 32 in February 24) and what my recruiter did to anticipate this from happening was applying for one regardless, in case the board can't meet or the application gets rolled over (which what ended up happening). Per my recruiter, there is a very big push for SWO currently and that may be the reason he's recommending SWO (can't say for Supply Corps). But if you have your heart set in stone for SNA, then you make him be aware of that and tell him it's the only thing you want. I would follow up ASAP regarding this, because it was lengthy for me.

Thanks for your reply, yea the dream is to do aviation, I don't care if it's SNA or flight officer. I wasted the last 3 years trying to join the air force before they finally rejected my medical waiver for vision.

My recruiter is pushing me to do swo or supply because he says age waiver isn't required if I apply for the upcoming boards and I don't have to take the full astb (I took OAR, without knowing I was eligible for aviation jobs bc of my medical waiver). Supply board is Feb 4, so I gotta decide if I'm gonna do that or risk applying for aviation with no guarantee of age waiver approval (let alone retaking astb)...what would you do?

Also, your recruiter took the initiative to apply for age waiver early in your process? That's a good recruiter

Are you going to kick yourself if you move on and never know if you could make it? I think that should answer what you should do.

Just to echo @Ghost SWO - definitely expend every possible route to get into aviation if that is your dream so that your slate is clear in the future.

From my own observations and what I've heard, there are throngs of officers (people in general actually) who bitterly complain about how x and y conspired to prevent them from getting what they wanted. Looking back myself I've been guilty of blaming circumstance loads of times and feel embarrassed even - if there is a chance, take it.
