31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[justin2023]

Did they actually give you a Pro-Rec N or did they push you? They pushed mine.

It’s also odd you got pushed. I thought you applied before the deadline

 

[justin2023]

Interesting. Well I guess we try again in the spring as long as they don't drop pilot from BDCP consideration all together.

I’m graduating in May so I don’t think I will qualify for BDCP anymore. Considering NFO after seeing this slaughterhouse though

I submitted a week before the deadline. Maybe because of my time to graduate they just kicked the can down the road

I love how its all engineers and one music major. What a drastic swing ? (no offense to the music major congrats bro)

Hey, come on now, Music and Film major. So you know, gotta give me credit. Not just one, but two useless majors for this ?

My apologies! That 9/9/9 though my dude. Shooooooooot that shit is nice

I did not get it and it seems others on the spreadsheet didn’t get it as well. @68Chev did you ever find out if you got an answer?

I didnt consider that but it makes total sense. It would be money down the drain for them.

In all seriousness, thank you, I really do appreciate it, I'm rooting for everyone else that was on this board for next time around, it's gonna happen for people!

Yeah something tells me they really dont feel like paying us to sit around once we finish school. Hard to blame em tbh

Pro-Rec N. Haven’t gotten a call from my recruiter but I saw my name of the list for no

Hi, last few days lurker. I haven’t heard anything from anyone to the status of my package. If you have the list, could you possibly look for my name? Or send me a screenshot of the list? I really don’t want to go into the weekend not knowing. I’ve already figured it’s a pro-rec no, but I don’t know for sure.

so with things the way the are do people with scores that would otherwise be selects in normal years just have no more shot for the next 2-3 years?

I would say it is wait and see, be patient, if the goals go up so will selections, but there are several factors that go into goals going up or down.

How long did they have to hold off on boards until regular selection rates came back?

It was about 9 months

To anyone that finds this interesting, I've compiled a list of all SNA's on the spreadsheet that got selected that were non AD.
It might help some to make comparisons to their own stats.

Looks like a contributing factor could be flight experience. Possibly.

In general I found those with flight experience would tend to do better on the ASTB, also those in tech degrees. I had those with flight experience that did get 7 or less on PFAR and most were not accepted.

FWIW I don't think any of those I sent as SNA's with tech degrees dropped from the pipeline.

So I'm looking at a number of options, but be honest with me with your opinion on this. I turn 32 in May, this was my last board before needing an age waiver (would've needed one anyways). Is there any hope for me if things normalize with an age waiver as a 32 year old, or should I just move on completely and try for WOFT with the army instead.

I have 7/7/5 as my score if those are bad now I’m guessing I should retest.

Not sure what your goals are but for consideration - air national guard units that fly heavy aircraft are notorious for accepting age waivers, I’ve heard up to 37 years of age. Of course you would probably have to have a PPL but just wanted to throw that out there.

With what @exNavyOffRec has stated. I think maybe it’s best to keep my 7/8/7 and just wait until things are back to normal. Especially being only 23 ?‍♂️
